∙ 10y agoAccording to the GSUSA web site, Girl Scouts councils keep about 70% of the proceeds with the rest going to the cookie bakers. A portion of that 70%, as determined by the council, goes to the troop or group selling the cookies. The rest is used by the Girl Scout council to provide services to the Girl Scouts in that council.
Each Girl Scout council determines the price of the cookies, the amount per box each troop will receive for the boxes they sell, and the incentives the girls can earn. According to information on a Girl Scout discussion group, in 2011, the lowest amount a troop receives is $0.45 per box and the highest is $0.76 per box.
