Best Answer

Girl Scout Cookies were sold annually around the country until World War II, when sugar, flour, and butter shortages led Girl Scouts to begin selling Girl Scout calendars to raise money for their activities.

Girls Scouts of the USA did not totally stop selling cookies during World War II. There were shortages of sugar, flour and butter so sales were often limited to two boxes per customer. Calendars were sold to help make up the difference.

The ingredients in the cookies were rationed and they could not make the cookies when the ingredients were needed for the troop and for England who had serious food shortages.
