Girl Scout troops earn enough to fund their activities and cover their expenses, such as supplies and awards. An older girl troop which is planning to travel a distance will be earning more than a younger troop which does short field trips.

Where is it a good idea to go with your Girl Scout money?

Making a decision of using Girl Scout money is a troop decision. The girls in the troop should make suggestions for places they would like to go, then check into how much it will cost and if the troop can afford to go, and then vote. As to the "where", there are many things to consider when making that decision. The level of the troop will limit how far you can travel. A local event would be cheaper than traveling a long distance. You need to find out if there are enough adults,a First Aider, and transportation. Find out what the girls in the troop are interested in. Places troops have gone with their Girl Scout money: Juliette Gordon Lowe's Birthplace in Savannah, Georgia Washington, DC - Girl Scouts sponsor a sing-along in Washington DC each June Disney World Disney Land Girl Scout Destinations - trips/events organized by Girl Scout councils with a topic or theme. Some are troop trips and some are individual trips. Camping - troop camping or residential camp or day camp


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.

Why do you keep such a big portion of the money from Girl Scout cookies?

Approximately 30% of the money received for Girl Scout cookies goes to the company which bakes the cookies. Of that, GSUSA receives a royalty from the cookie bakers for use of the trademarks and licensing. The remaining 70% of the money received for Girl Scout cookies goes to the Girl Scout council whose board of directors determines how the money will be used and how much money each troop keeps. The money is used by the council for many things, for example: cookie incentives, camps, adult volunteer training, events, program resources, sales tax (in some states, non-profit organizations are not exempt from state sales taxes), and much more.
