Even better than buying cookies from them is to just hand some cash to the cookie seller as a donation. A troop keeps only 50 cents from each box sale but the entirety of donations.

… keeping in mind that the actual experience of selling Girl Scout cookies might have its own value, like other scouting activities. In which case even better might be to buy a box of cookies and also make a donation.

This is awesome. Not so much the cookie-selling part of it, but that they’ve set things up so that these homeless girls can be part of a Girl Scout troop.
