Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scout organization, held the first troop meeting with 18 members in Savannah, Georgia on March 12, 1912. Today, Girl Scouting has 3.7 million members across the United States. Most participate in the annual Girl Scout Cookie Sale.
The earliest mention of a Cookie Sale found to-date was that of the Mistletoe Troop in Muskogee, Oklahoma, which baked cookies and sold them in the high school cafeteria as a service project in December 1917.
In 1934, Greater Philadelphia became the first council to sell commercially baked cookies.
In 1936, Girl Scouts licensed the first professional baker.
Thin Mints is the most popular Girl Scout cookie, followed by Caramel De Lites in second place, and Peanut Butter Patties in third place.
Each year, Girl Scouts sell almost 200 million boxes of delicious Girl Scout cookies!
All of the revenue, or "Cookie Dough," benefits girls in the community in which the cookies were sold.
At the troop level, girls determine how to spend the money they have earned through Cookie Sale activities. Troops may take a trip, visit a museum, have an overnight stay at camp or a state park, or donate the money to a worthy cause.
Selling Girl Scout cookies is a voluntary activity. Every girl who participates must provide written parental consent. Participants receive training in Girl Scout Cookie program activities.
There are two bakeries licensed by Girl Scouts of the USA to do business with Councils across the country: ABC Bakers (the bakery of choice for Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council) and Little Brownie Bakers.
Research indicates the top reason people purchase Girl Scout Cookies is because they want to support Girl Scouting. When given the opportunity, the average household purchases approximately five boxes of Girl Scout Cookies. Almost three out of four consumers who are not approached to buy Girl Scout Cookies say they would buy them if asked.

OUT OF THE BOX
Eco-friendly packages preserve great taste!
Wondering why our Lemonades™, Thanks-A-Lot® and Cranberry Citrus Crisps packages look a bit different?
They’re part of our eco-friendly packaging initiative!
In 2010, we took our Thanks-A-Lot Girl Scout Cookie “out of the box.” This single change allowed us to save 150 tons of paperboard from going into America’s waste stream. And we were able to ship more cookies on a truck, saving an estimated 2,600 gallons of diesel fuel a year.
The move showed girls the impact one single action could have on the environment, and helped position Girl Scouts as an innovative, earth-friendly enterprise. And the public relations mentions about this change contributed to a 5 percent average per council increase in overall sales.
Buoyed by positive volunteer and consumer response, ABC will continue packaging the Lemonades™ and Thanks-A-Lot® Girl Scout Cookies in recyclable film and will expand this packaging approach to our Cranberry Citrus Crisps cookie in the 2013–14 season, resulting in a combined reduction of hundreds of tons of paperboard into the waste stream.
