Six-year-old Girl Scout sells 100,000 cookie boxes, inspires with unstoppable determination

In a world where challenges often slow people down, one six-year-old chose to rise above them. Pim Neill from Pittsburgh has captured hearts nationwide after achieving a staggering 100,000 cookie sales overcoming obstacles with grit and belief. Pim began her journey with a simple aim: to sell enough cookies to attend scout camp. However, her determination quickly grew. She first wanted to lead sales among her group of 11 kindergarten scouts. 

Soon, her targets expanded to 5,000 boxes, then 10,000, and eventually far beyond. As of 16 February, Pim had officially crossed the 100,000 mark, a feat made possible with strong support from her family.

Her father, Luke Anorak-Neill, described his daughter as “literally unstoppable.” He shared that Pim has always embraced challenges, whether in school fundraisers or community drives. Through door-to-door visits, church outreach and local events, Pim personally asked supporters to back her campaign. The family even encouraged relatives to purchase cookies instead of giving Christmas presents.

Overcoming Barriers with Courage

Pim’s journey was not without hurdles. As a Daisy scout, the youngest level, she faced initial difficulties joining a troop due to her late birthday and disabilities. Her father recalled painful moments, including being told her presence would “hold a troop back.”

Despite these setbacks, Pim persevered and eventually joined a kindergarten troop, with her father stepping in as a troop leader.

Her story stands as a powerful reminder that determination, courage and family support can turn even the boldest dreams into reality.
