The first troop known to sell Girl Scout cookies was the Mistletoe Troop in Muskogee, Oklahoma in December of 1917. The girls and their mothers baked cookies in their homes. They then sold the cookies in the school cafeteria. Selling cookies was a good way to earn money to finance troop activities.

They do not. In fact, they do not often eat cookies or so I've heard.

In addition:

Girl Guiding Scotland is a part of Girl Guiding United Kingdom.

Each World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) member country/organization sets their own guidelines for money earning projects for their members, so it is possible that Girl Guiding UK does not sell cookies.

Girl Guiding UK does provide information about a variety of fundraising projects troops may do in their local communities.

Each World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) member country/organization sets their own guidelines for money earning projects for their members. Members of the Asociación Nacional De Muchachas Guías De Guatemala [National Association of Girl Guides Guatemala] do not sell cookies.

Some national organizations, such as Girl Guides of Canada, Girl Scouts of the USA, and Girl Guides Australia Inc., do sell cookie (biscuits in Australia) products. Members of Girl Scouts Overseas sell cookies as members of the Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) in other countries.

For the 2014 Girl Scout Cookie Sale, ABC Bakers Thin Mints have about 32 cookies per box and Little Brownie Bakers Thin Mints have about 28 cookies per box. Note that the boxes are filled by weight, not by the amount of cookies, so the number of cookies may vary.

Each Girl Scout council determines their sales period, price, and sales methods. Some councils take pre-orders while others have cookies on hand for direct sales. Most councils also set up booth sales for Girl Scout Troops while all girls are encouraged to make individual sales.

GSUSA set up a web site where anyone can enter their zip code and find out which council they can order from and when that council's cookie sale starts.

If you don't know how to contact that council, you can go to GSUSA's Council Finder web site for contact information.

You can also go to the Little Brownie Bakers Cookie Locator web site. It will give you information about current cookie sales and contact information for the council office.

Each World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) member country sets their own guidelines for money earning projects for their members, so it is possible that Italian Guides/Scouts do not sell cookies.

Since the 2009 Girl Scout Cookie Sale is now over, the only way to possibly find a cookie order form would be to contact someone who collects Girl Scout items or contact a Girl Scout council and ask if they might have saved any forms.

The first known Girl scout cookie sale occurred in 1917 when one troop, the Mistletoe Troop in Muskogee, Oklahoma, baked cookies and sold them in the school cafeteria as a service project. There is no record of the actual cost of the cookies.

In the 1920's and 1930's, Girl Scout cookies were sold by troops for 25 or 30 cents per dozen.

No 5'7 is the perfect height for a 13 year old girl. I'm 5'9 and I am 14. When you get to high school you'll see that most people will be your height except for maybe some guy's who could be really tall. You don't need to worry.

No! it's not. I'm 5'10, and have been since I was 14. You are the perfect height right now, and even if you grow more, you will find that by the end of high school you're not the only tall one around! No your not that tall, I am 5 foot 7 to and I'm 12. All though Last year I was the tallest girl in my whole school including my teachers.
