According to the Savannah Morning News, Brownies and Girl Scouts have been selling their cookies outside the home for years, but the tradition ended when a complaint was filed last year about selling products on public sidewalks. Peddling on a sidewalk in Savannah is a violation of a city ordinance.
Fran Harold, executive director of the Low house, which is a National Historic Landmark, says it’s a sad situation because tourists visiting the home loved buying cookies from the girls. City Alderman Van Johnson says Savannah should look into issuing a variance that would allow temporary sales during the Girl Scout cookie season.
