Except, for Ukraine the troops weren’t selling anything and weren’t sending money anywhere. They were doing a supply drive and sending supplies to Ukraine. The Girl Scouts have very explicit rules around fund raising, and those rules apply to all nonprofits that are classified the way the Girl Scouts are, and you are not allowed to sell things and send funds out. In fact, during leader training it is drilled into every leader that they cannot sell anything that isn’t an official product with prior approval - which is hardly ever given.

This troop could have collected supplies and sent those. The troop could have used their troop funds to buy supplies and send those. But they are not allowed to give money.

This isn’t about the Girl Scouts supporting one cause over the other, or shying away from a political or partisan activity, this is about a troop that broke the rules and then have tried to turn themselves into political martyrs.
