A six-year-old from Pennsylvania has made history after selling over 100,000 boxes of <\/a> Girl Scout cookies<\/a> this year \u2014 setting a record for the most sold in a single season. <\/p>\n

Pim Neill, from Pittsburgh, hit the impressive milestone after making a series of TikTok videos<\/a>, each beginning with the line: \u201cHi, my name is Pim. Do you want to buy some Girl Scout cookies?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cPim wanted to join the Girl Scouts because when she was 3, she saw the girls selling cookies,\u201d her dad, Luke Anorak-Neill, told CBS Pittsburgh<\/a>. \u201cThis whole thing started by her observing girls performing what most people think is the only thing Girl Scouts do, and that\u2019s sell Girl Scout cookies.\u201d <\/p>\n

After joining a troop of kindergarteners, Pim and her family hit the ground running, selling over 800 boxes of cookies within the first week without the help of social media. <\/p>\n

However, the kindergartener had a goal of selling a certain number of cookies to win a trip to Niagara Falls, a place that is significant for her parents as they went on a trip there when they first started dating, according to CBS. <\/p>\n

Pim\u2019s family turned to social media in their attempt to hit the target. Each Girl Scout gets her own website <\/a>for buyers to place orders, so Anorak-Neill shared the link along with videos of Pim on TikTok, and the number of boxes sold soared. <\/p>\n

\u201cPeople on TikTok rallied,\u201d Anorak-Neill said. \u201cThey loved her. They adored her. They supported her, and it has been so incredible.\u201d <\/p>\n

A week ago, Pim met the 5,000-box goal for the Niagara Falls trip, but had a new benchmark in sight.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe wanted 10,000,\u201d he said. \u201cShe was not going to budge, and I said OK. I\u2019m going to let her do it because I felt like everybody needed to know where we were.\u201d <\/p>\n

Within 24 hours of their next video, Pim had sold more than 20,000 boxes of cookies. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re onward to the 100,000 and the 100,000 because when I asked Pim what her goal is, she said to sell the most cookies,\u201d Anorak-Neill said. \u201cSell more cookies than anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had so much support from Girl Scouts navigating it,\u201d Anorak-Neill told CBS. \u201cWe\u2019ve had a lot of support, and we\u2019re just excited that we\u2019re inspiring so many more girls.\u201d <\/p>\n

On Sunday, Pim reached her goal of selling over 100,000 boxes of cookies, her family shared on TikTok. <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cHey everyone. Pim has sold 100,000 box of Girl Scout cookies! Her store will remain open until March 22nd and we will continue to sell cookies in our community and beyond,\u201d her family wrote. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to take a moment and say thank you to everyone who helped her make history and stood behind her. We want to thank Girl Scouts and remind you all that cookie season is half over for Pim, and many other girls have a few weeks left. You can support your local troops by going to Girlscouts.org to get involved and support them too!\u201d<\/p>\n

Girl Scouts of Western Pennsylvania officials told WPXI they\u2019ve never seen so many boxes sold. <\/p>\n

\u201cFor us, this has never happened,\u201d Girl Scouts of Western Pennsylvania\u2019s Mina Beach said. \u201cSo this is very exciting that we get to bring girls into Western Pennsylvania.\u201d<\/p>\n
