Girl Scout cookies are a nationally recognized product, so when people think of Girl Scouts, the first thing they usually think of is cookies!

Depending on the council, Girl Scout troops may participate in other money earning projects, provided they follow GS guidelines and are approved by the Girl Scout council. Many of those projects involve selling items, especially items made by the girls them selves.

Another portion of the sales proceeds goes to the Girl Scout council to support programs for the Girl Scouts. Each council determines how the funds are used. Most councils also provide sales incentives which may include some kind of credit which can be used for Girl Scout activities. My troop used their cookie profits in many ways. We did a lot of travel and attended many Girl Scout events along with a wide variety of community service projects and earning awards. Girl Scout cookies were a huge part of paying for all the activities we did!
How many Girl Scout cookies should you order first?
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.
Why do you keep such a big portion of the money from Girl Scout cookies?
Approximately 30% of the money received for Girl Scout cookies goes to the company which bakes the cookies. Of that, GSUSA receives a royalty from the cookie bakers for use of the trademarks and licensing. The remaining 70% of the money received for Girl Scout cookies goes to the Girl Scout council whose board of directors determines how the money will be used and how much money each troop keeps. The money is used by the council for many things, for example: cookie incentives, camps, adult volunteer training, events, program resources, sales tax (in some states, non-profit organizations are not exempt from state sales taxes), and much more.
