The main "positive" is that the Girl Scouts are supported by cookie buying. The main "negative" is that the cookies really aren't very healthy to eat (due to significant quantities of sugar and saturated fat, and little in the way of healthy nutrients).

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.

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.
