Yes.
In 2008, 15-year-old Jennifer Sharpe from Dearborn, Michigan sold 17,328 boxes of cookies. This was a new record for her troop and possibly an all-time record.
From 1978 to 1990, Elizabeth Brinton of Falls Church, VA, sold a total of more than 100,000 boxes of cookies. Elizabeth sold 11,200 boxes of cookies in 1985 and 18,000 boxes in a later year.

13 boxes of cookies times $3.75: 13 x 3.75 = $48.75
Since Girl Scout cookies are packaged and sold within a short time, they do not mark the boxes. About the only way to be sure the cookies are fresh is to buy them directly from a Girl Scout or a Girl Scout Council. Another way would be to compare the box with current boxes because the boxes change every few years. Also, some new kinds come out every year or two, so you could check to make sure that kind of cookie is being sold during the current year. If not, you would know the cookies are old. GSUSA does not recommend buying Girl Scout cookies online as there is no way to know how fresh the cookies are.
Since each Girl Scout council controls their cookie sale, and there are two different cookie companies, this may be difficult to determine. In my experience, 100 boxes was the average for our area.

If there are Girl Guide cookies made in Pakistan, it is probably because the Pakistan Girl Guides Association sells cookies. Girl Scout cookies sold in the USA are made in the USA, in Kentucky for Little Brownie Bakers and in Iowa for ABC Cookie Bakers. Some Girl Scout troops ask customers to purchase boxes of Girl Scout cookies which are sent to US Armed Forces personnel all around the world, so US Girl Scout cookies may have been seen in Pakistan because they were sent there as a gift or sold there by USA Girl Scouts Overseas.
Each case of Girl Scout cookies contains 12 boxes so: 2 x 12 x 3.50 = $84.00
In 2010, a "bundle" of Girl Scout cookies contained three boxes, each box cost $4.00, so the bundle cost $12.00.
The only way to know for sure that you are buying fresh cookies is to buy them directly from a Girl Scout or from the local Girl Scout council. Because the cookies are only baked for the yearly sale and are not going to be sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold, they do not mark the boxes with a date or a code. GSUSA cautions against buying cookies online because there is no way to know how fresh those cookies are.
For Girl Scouts of the USA, depending on the Girl Scout council, Girl Scout cookies were priced from $0.35 to $0.50 in 1960.
It depends on the cookie company chosen by the Girl Scout council. There are two cookie companies which provide Girl Scout cookies and they must offer 8 different kinds of cookies. Both companies offer Thin Mints, Trefoils/Shortbread, Tagalongs/Peanut Butter Patties, Do-Si-Dos/Peanut Butter Sandwich, and Samoas/Caramel deLites. The other four cookies change every so often and are different depending on the cookie company. Currently (2011) for sale are: Thank You Berry Munch, Lemonades, Dulce de Leche, Lemon Chalet Cremes, Thanks-A-Lot, and Shout Outs.
Girl scout cookies are still a yearly fundraiser for GSUSA.
