History of Girl Scout Cookies in Timeline
Share:
Girl Scout Cookies are a fundraising product sold by Girl Scouts in the United States. The program, dating back to 1917, aims to raise money for Girl Scout councils and troops while teaching financial literacy to girls. Annually, over a million Girl Scouts sell over 200 million packages, raising over $800 million. Sales occur through door-to-door marketing, online platforms, school and town fundraisers, and at designated 'cookie booths'. The 112 regional Girl Scout councils partner with one of two national bakeries to procure the cookies.
