When placing a personal order, it depends on the kinds of Girl Scout cookies you like the best. Order at least 2 of each favorite and 1 each of the other kinds.
When placing a troop order, look at how many Girl Scout cookies the troop sold last year and how many girls were in the troop last year. Find the average amount sold per girl and order that number per girl for this year. If your troop has never sold before, try asking another troop that was a new troop last year or a troop of similar age to the girls in your troop. Find out what their average per girl was and base your order on that amount.

What is a good way to sell girl scout cookies faster?

Do you have to pay for your girl scout cookies before you receive them -?
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.

How do you freeze Girl Scout cookies?
First, call all your customers that usually buy to tell them that you're coming. Then, have your family buy some. Be polite and sweet to everyone and they will buy more. Tell the benefits (reduced fat, etc). Tell them your favorites (they tend to buy these). Also, if your parents work for a large company, have them sell at work. If your mom is a doctor (like mine), have her sell to her patients too. The more people you ask the better. Hope this helps, long time girl scout (Guineagirl96) When I did this as a young girl I took my cookies to the PTA meetings and sold my cookies there. I also would go to the college campuses and sell them ( college students are always hungry). Many colleges had buses for students so I would go on the buses and sell. Also ask people where you work at. One of the most important things we found was to be sure to return to customers each year. They might only buy one or two boxes the first year, but once they know you will return each year, most people will increase their order. Be sure to let them know the kinds of activities your troop does each year so that they know what they are supporting by purchasing the cookies. Also, if someone says they are on a diet, tell them cookies make a good gift, freeze well, or they can just make a donation to the troop.

When are the Girl Scout cookies on sale?
For Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA), each Girl Scout council determines the dates of their cookie sale, however, most of them sell during the months of January through March. You can go to the Girl Scout Cookie Finder web site, enter your zip code, and find out if your local council is currently selling cookies.
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.
Where can you buy Girl Scout cookies year round?
Each Girl Scout council determines their sales period, price, and sales methods. Some councils take pre-orders while others have cookies on hand for direct sales. Most councils also set up booth sales for Girl Scout Troops while all girls are encouraged to make individual sales. GSUSA set up a web site where anyone can enter their zip code and find out which council they can order from and when that council's cookie sale starts. If you don't know how to contact that council, you can go to GSUSA's Council Finder web site for contact information. You can also go to the Little Brownie Bakers Cookie Locator web site. It will give you information about current cookie sales and contact information for the council office.
