It depends on the Girl Scout council. They are making changes in the council product sales. So, yes, you might have to pay for your Girl Scout cookies at the time you place your order or you might wait until they are delivered. Some councils are now having the girls have the cookies with them so you pay and receive your cookies all at the same time - rather than placing orders. Cookie booths are also more available, and again, you pay for and received your cookies all at the same time.

∙ 9y agoYes, the Girl Scout must collect payment for the Girl Scout cookies and turn the money in for the sales. When a Girl Scout and her parent or guardian sign the Girl Scout council product sales permission form, they agree to pay for any product that the girl takes to sell. The profits from those sales are used to fund troop/group activities and to fund the local Girl Scout council.

What do you do with the money you get for Girl Scout cookies?
Once a cookie sale ends in one Girl Scout council, cookies which are left are sent to another council for their cookie sale. Unopened cases at the end of all sales are returned to the cookie baking companies. The Girl Scout council has to pay for any cookies they keep, so it would not be a wise use of funds to keep a lot of cookies instead of sending them back to the cookie bakers. The cookie baking companies are also able to plan so that they aren't left with a lot of extra cookies. Girl Scout councils are able to contact the companies to request any cookies which are left. Councils may keep Girl Scout cookies on hand or may request more from the cookie companies for a variety of reasons. If someone calls and says they did not receive their cookie order, the council will try to find out what happened, and may decide to replace the cookie order. They might also use the cookies for gifts, such as giving boxes to the delegates to the council's delegate assembly.
