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.

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.
