Girl Scouts are putting the bite on cookie monsters who failed to pay for the boxes of sugary treats they ordered last year. The Girl Scouts of the San Antonio Area sued 24 people earlier this month in an effort to recover more than $20,000. Each person owes between $200 and $5,925.

Many of the debtors are parents who did not pay the organization for the cookies their children sold, Girl Scout officials said. The lawsuits, all of which were filed in Bexar County, followed months of letter writing, first by the local scouts and then by their lawyer.

Dauphine said he believes many of the debtors used the cookie money to cover pressing financial obligations, thinking they'd be able to replace it quickly. But they often can't pay the group back as their other debts mount.
