Currently there are two licensed Girl Scout cookie bakers. The bakers can offer up to eight kinds of Girl Scout Cookies. The bakers must always offer Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Sandwich/Do-Si-Dos and Shortbreads/Trefoils. Any of the five optional cookies can be changed each year, however, some of the best sellers have been around for many years: Caramel de Lites/Samoas, and Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs.
For the 2011 Cookie Sale, between the two bakers, there are a total of 11 different flavors of Girl Scout cookies - the five mentioned above plus Lemon Chalet Cremes, Lemonades, Dulce de Leche, Thank U Berry Munch, Thanks-A-Lot, and Shout Outs!

The other five optional cookies can be changed each year, however, the Samoas®/Caramel deLites® and the Peanut Butter Patties®/Tagalongs® are so popular that it is unlikely the cookie companies would change them.

Who are the bakers for Girl Scout cookies?
Roughly 200 million boxes of Girl Scout cookies are sold each year. Since the cookies are sold by weight, it is hard to state a definite number of cookies. Looking at the information about serving size and number of cookies per box, the number of cookies range from 14 to 40 per box. So, take 20 cookies per box times 200 million, you get an estimate of 4 billion Girl Scout cookies baked during the Girl Scout cookie season.
What happened to Girl Scout cookies as they do not taste the same as they did years ago?
There are several reasons why the cookies do not taste the same as they did years ago.One is that the Girl Scout cookie bakers removed trans-fats several years ago.Another reason is that there used to be as many as 14 licensed bakers. Each baker had their own recipe and way of making the cookies. In 1978, that number was reduced to 4 bakers, and, in the 1990's, it was reduced to 2 bakers. The cookies from each company do taste different from each other even though there are three mandatory cookies that each company must bake each year.Girl Scout councils choose which company to use each year to supply their cookies. Your local Girl Scout council may have chosen a different cookie baker, which could be why the cookies taste different.The cookie bakers are also working to remove artificial flavors from all their cookies. This might also affect the taste of the cookies.

Why do Girl Scouts always sell cookies?
Girl Scout cookies are a nationally recognized product, so when people think of Girl Scouts, the first thing they usually think of is cookies! It is a huge money earning project for the troops and the Girl Scout council. However, Girl Scouts also sell other things. Most Girl Scout councils also host a nut and candy sale at a different time of the year. Some councils also host magazine sales or calendar sales. 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.
Why do you sell Girl Scout cookies?
First of all, the program is set up to allow the girls to learn while selling. They set goals and learn about selling. They can also earn Girl Scout awards related to the activities they do while selling cookies. Second, troops keep a portion of the sale proceeds to use for troop activities. 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!
