Since each Girl Scout council controls their cookie sale, and there are two different cookie companies, this may be difficult to determine. In my experience, 100 boxes was the average for our area.

13 boxes of cookies times $3.75: 13 x 3.75 = $48.75
In 2010, a "bundle" of Girl Scout cookies contained three boxes, each box cost $4.00, so the bundle cost $12.00.
Since Girl Scouts are not required to sell Girl Scout products, there are many Girl Scouts who did not sell any Girl Scout cookies.
The Girl Scout cookie boxes are all designed by the licensed cookie companies with the approval of Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA). All the boxes are designed to show Girl Scouts in action. There is a story about the name "Samoa", that someone liked the cookies so much that they asked for "some more".

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.
There is no official record kept of Girl Scout cookie sales, however, the following girls have made the news for their cookie sales: In 2008, 15-year-old Jennifer Sharpe from Dearborn, Michigan sold 17,328 boxes of cookies. This was a new record for her troop and possibly an all-time record. From 1978 to 1990, Elizabeth Brinton, the "Cookie Queen", of Falls Church, VA, sold a total of more than 100,000 boxes of cookies. Elizabeth sold 11, 200 boxes of cookies in 1985 and 18,000 boxes in a later year. An average amount is about 300 boxes per girl.
The phone number of the B Anderson Girl Scout Museum is: 602-285-6942.
The phone number of the Girl Scout Council Of The Southern Appalachians is: 865-688-9440.
If 23 boxes represent 10% of the troop's sales, then we can divide 23 by 0.10 to find the total sales of the troop. The troop sold 230 boxes of Girl scout cookies.
