From the creators of Dysentery! The Musical comes a fresh original musical comedy about scout cookies, legal pandemonium, and the perils of fundraising taken too far. Lacy pledged to serve her troop and her country, yet she now finds herself in court after pushing cookie sales past the limit. A minor dispute over unpaid boxes explodes into a full-blown spectacle with rival scouts at odds, dubious legal maneuvers, hard-charging sales workshops, testimony set to music, and a persistent question about who is truly at fault when merit badges, bonuses, and snack-fueled capitalism collide.
