Girl __ Cookies (5)

I believe the answer is:

scout

(Other definitions for scout that I've seen before include "One searches for and recruits talented people" , "One making recce" , "Soldier on a reconnaissance mission" , "One on a recce mission" , "Talent seeker - boy on a jamboree" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
