Since the money ultimately gets to the account owned by the Girl Scouts, you can demonstrate it isn't income.  

 

A 1099-k is an information based form and is not necessarily income.  If you were given gifts or reimbursed through a third party payment provider it would not be income.   So it shouldn't count against you as income unless you classify it as income.  It would be prudent to keep the 1099K if they issue one in the according tax year records with the record of transfer of funds.  Since this is a pretty broad occurrence, you should not encounter any issues as no money was actually earned by you.
