<\/a>Ashleigh F. sold 3,000 cookies this year, which was enough to be the top seller in all five boroughs by the Girl Scouts of Greater New York. Photo: Ashleigh F.<\/p>\n\u201cIt felt amazing that I was able to do it, because this year, I did feel that my schedule was even [busier] than last year,\u201d she told the Brooklyn Eagle. \u201cI was just glad to be able to do it again this year and even top my own record. It felt really special to do that.\u201d
She said that this year, Thin Mints were more popular this year than Samoas. Although she couldn\u2019t reveal her secret tips for her record-breaking numbers, the Girl Scout gave insight into how she\u2019s been so successful.<\/p>\n
\u201cParks on the weekends during warm weather since people have picnics and farmers\u2019 markets are good places,\u201d she said. \u201cThis year, we sold at a train station but not a lot of people bought from us there. Most years, they are pretty good at helping me get to my goal. They still helped but didn\u2019t buy as many as last year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Later this year, Ashleigh will attend a national Girl Scout convention, which will take place on her birthday. \u201cThere\u2019s going to be about 10,000 scouts from across the nation there,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ashleigh has sold cookies for nearly 10 years. Of her favorite things about selling cookies, meeting people tops the list. \u201cI have favorite customers,\u201d she said. \u201cI have an elderly couple that would come by occasionally and would buy a Do-si-dos and the Lemon-Up. They were really fun to talk to. I also had a teacher come by once and buy cookies for students, which was really nice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her father Will also told this paper how far along his daughter has come. \u201cWe are really proud of her,\u201d he said. \u201cShe works very hard and it\u2019s fun to watch her grow. It\u2019s definitely been a different approach. She\u2019s been doing this for 10 years and to watch the approach grow from just a little baby who is just happy to sell a couple of boxes to having a young adult here who is setting goals and surpassing them is really amazing to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that Ashleigh has been number one in Brooklyn for three years before her record. \u201cSo she\u2019s on a five-year streak of being the top seller in Brooklyn,\u201d he said. \u201cAs a lifelong Brooklyn resident, that makes me very happy, and to top the city is even better.\u201d<\/p>\n
