Girl Scout cookies for troops overseas

5. the boy scouts do for popcorn

the Girl Scouts, at least our daughters troop, always set up a donation box when they do "booth sales" outside stores. They select as a troop who the donation boxes are for. Last year, my daughters troop donated to our local Ronald McDonald house.

So I am guessing that the girls in your niece's troop decided to send the cookies to the troops as their charity. There is an organization called Operation Gratitude that ships care packages to troops that include Girl Scout cookies in their packages. I bet that your niece's troop and maybe even the whole council (the whole area) worked with them to send the cookies. Here is their link:

My offer is to pay the shipping costs to send them.
