The city manager of Savannah, Georgia, has granted Girl Scouts an exemption to sell cookies outside the historic mansion of the woman who founded the organisation nearly a century ago.
A complaint, which many thought took the biscuit, halted the long-time practice of selling cookies outside the home of Juliette Gordon Low, who founded the Girl Scouts in Savannah in 1912 - near a busy junction.
Savannah bans peddling on public footways but Rochelle Small-Toney used her civic power to make exemptions to the regulations to allow the Scouts to continue their sales.
