Girl Scouts of the USA sell Girl Scout Cookies. Girl Guides of Canada sell Girl Guide Cookies. Girl Guides Australia sell Girl Guide Biscuits (cookies).
In other countries, girl scouts may be known by different names. For example, in the United Kingdom, they are called Girlguides. In Canada, they are called Girl Guides. In Australia, they are known as Girl Guides or Girl Scouts.
Yes. I believe in Commonweatlh countries ( British colonies and ex-colonies) the term Girl Guides is preferred for the female contingents, as Scout is considered a Male occupational noun. They ought to use Observer, which is gender neutral, as in Forward Observer, and it is a frequent moniker for Newspapers. ( Osservatore Romano)
There is a photo of a Girl Guide cookie box from the 1980's on Flickr for Girl Guides of Canada. (see Related Link).
No, Canada does not have Girl Scouts. Instead, they have Girl Guides, which is a similar organization with a focus on helping girls develop leadership skills, self-confidence, and outdoor abilities.
Ireland has Girl Guides which is the same as Girl Scouts. The international organization is called the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. There are two Girl Guide organizations in Ireland: The Irish Girl Guides (IGG) and Catholic Guides of Ireland (CGI).
It is unlikely that members of the Figi Girl Guides sell cookie products. Not all World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) member organizations sell cookies as a national organization. Some national organizations, such as Girl Guides of Canada, Girl Scouts of the USA, and Girl Guides Australia Inc., do sell cookie (biscuits in Australia) products. Members of Girl Scouts Overseas sell cookies as members of the Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) in other countries.
Each World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) member country sets their own guidelines for money earning projects for their members, so it is possible that Italian Guides/Scouts do not sell cookies.
