Why are Girl Scout cookies only sold at a certain time of year?

∙ 12y ago
The Girl Scout cookie sale is a learning experience for the girls. As they sell the cookies, girls develop five essential skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.
The sale is limited so that the girls will also spend time on other activities, not just on cookie sales.
Also, by only selling at a certain time of the year, interest in the cookie sale can be created each year. People ask Girl Scouts about when will they be around again to sell cookies.

How do you know the girl scout cookies are for year 2011?
The only way to know for sure that you are buying fresh cookies is to buy them directly from a Girl Scout or from the local Girl Scout council. Because the cookies are only baked for the yearly sale and are not going to be sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold, they do not mark the boxes with a date or a code. GSUSA cautions against buying cookies online because there is no way to know how fresh those cookies are.
Do Samoan girl scout cookies come from Samoa?
NoWith respect to the person asking this question and all those that will view it, I honestly do not think it came from Samoa. In essence, I think "Samoan girl scout cookies" was considered because there is coconut in it being sold by little girls. The Girl Scout is now popular and adding a little bit of culture in there would help in spreading the word out about girl scout and not only that the cookies. The cookies by the way, are really good.
How can it be determined when a box of girl scout cookies was packaged?
Since Girl Scout cookies are packaged and sold within a short time, they do not mark the boxes. About the only way to be sure the cookies are fresh is to buy them directly from a Girl Scout or a Girl Scout Council. Another way would be to compare the box with current boxes because the boxes change every few years. Also, some new kinds come out every year or two, so you could check to make sure that kind of cookie is being sold during the current year. If not, you would know the cookies are old. GSUSA does not recommend buying Girl Scout cookies online as there is no way to know how fresh the cookies are.

How much of the cost of girl scout cookies goes to the girl scouts?
According 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.

Most councils also set up booth sales for Girl Scout Troops while all girls are encouraged to make individual sales. GSUSA set up a web site where anyone can enter their zip code and find out which council they can order from and when that council's cookie sale starts. If you don't know how to contact that council, you can go to GSUSA's Council Finder web site for contact information. You can also go to the Little Brownie Bakers Cookie Locator web site.

Are Girl Scouts cookies smaller now?
There are two licensed Girl Scout Cookie Bakers in the US. Each Girl Scout council chooses the cookie baker, either Little Brownie Bakers or ABC Bakers. Except for THIN MINTS® and TREFOILS®, the cookie bakers choose the names of the cookies. So, Little Brownie Bakers Calls them Do-si-dos® while ABC Bakers calls them Peanut Butter Sandwich. Each company also develops their own recipes, so if your Girl Scout council switched to a different cookie baker, the cookie will have a different name and may also taste different.
