It is officially Girl Scout Cookie season - and one little girl from Los Angeles has found the perfect place to shift her stock.
As reported by Yahoo! Life, seven-year-old Siena Levin was determined to claim another Girl Scout badge.
Already ranked a Daisy (the beginner level of the Girl Scouts), young Siena has been a member of her Glendale troop for two years, but is looking to stand out from the bunch.
Like many Girl Scouts, she was tasked with selling as many cookies as possible in order to help raise money for her troop, and so, was looking for a location that was "high traffic, low competition".
And where better than the prominently LGBTQIA+ neighborhoods of West Hollywood? Taking to the fabulous gay bars in the area, Siena - accompanied by her mom Jen, her aunt Julie, and her four-year-old sister Riley - towed her cookie wagon for two straight Sundays in early February in an effort to flog her sweet treats.
And it certainly paid off! Thanks to the incredible support of the local LGBTQIA+ community, Siena was about to sell out of her stock twice over. In fact, she went on to tell the publication that the people she met were "really good tippers".
"It was so fun," the Girl Scout told Yahoo! Life. "We were just walking and, like, they'd stop, When they see one person buying, they'd all crowd in. One of the guys who bought cookies, he was really funny because he said, 'You're gonna make me fat!'"
A video shared by Aunt Julie shows Siena walking up and down West Hollywood's Santa Monica Boulevard, greeting and making conversations with gay bar patrons and drag queens.
Mom Jen admits that she wasn't sure of how people would initially respond to seeing a Girl Scout outside of the bars, but added that the support was overwhelming.
"Some of the guys at the bar, they were trying to help us with sales. They were yelling out for us, telling people to walk by," Jen sad. "They were like, 'You wanna buy some cookies? They take Venmo!'"
The mom also spoke about how the patrons helped bring out her daughters' confidence: "They just started yelling on the street, 'Cookies! Girl Scout cookies!' to anyone who would walk by."
After sharing the footage on Instagram, Julie was flooded with comments praising both the family and the local queer community.
One Instagram user wrote: "This is the best business woman EVER! She knew her market, she knew supply and demand, she knew customer service! Whew!!!! I stan!!!!"
A second added: "THIS is simply amazing! You’re raising your kids well…teaching them self-reliance, independence, and inclusivity (among other things). I love everything about this video, and hope your daughter remembers how much fun it was."
And a third wrote: "Absolutely amazing. The future just got brighter."
"So very awesome. Love that you are teaching love along with how to be a boss lady," wrote a fourth.
Something tells me we're going to see Siena on a 30 Under 30 list in no time!
