Best Answer

Cookies were the beginning of Girl Scout sales. Cookie sales started in 1917 as a way for Girl Scout troops to finance their activities. In 1933, one Girl Scout council, the Greater Philadelphia Council, became the first Girl Scout council to sell commercially baked cookies and Girl Scout continue that tradition today.
