For Girl Scouts of the USA, depending on the Girl Scout council, Girl Scout cookies were priced from $0.35 to $0.50 in 1960.
Girl Scouts first started selling cookies in 1917 as a way to finance troop activities, so you could say that the girls themselves "invented" Girl Scout cookies! In 1922, an article was published in "The American Girl" magazine, published by the Girl Scout national headquarters, about Girl Scout cookie sales, including a recipe and suggestions for cookie prices. The article was written by Florence E. Neil, a local director in Chicago, Illinois.
Girl scout cookies are still a yearly fundraiser for GSUSA.
People in Alabama can purchase Girl Scout cookies from any Girl Scout who is selling them. They can also use the Girl Scout Cookie Finder or the Girl Scout Cookie Finder App to find the price, locations, and sale dates of the current Girl Scout Cookie Sale.Girl Scout councils determine which of two cookie bakers (ABC Cookies and Little Brownie Bakers) supply the cookies for their council. There are three Girl Scout councils in Alabama. If you want to know which baker supplies the cookies in your area, contact the local council or look at any box of Girl Scout cookies.
