To find out if the Digital Cookie
Every year Palm Beach County Girl Scouts are allowed to sell cookies for two weeks, a fund-raising tradition that teaches hard work and resourcefulness. But some Scouts take resourcefulness too far when they start selling before they are allowed to.
When someone answers the door, tell them who you are and what you're selling. Make sure to be friendly, as you don't want to come across as rude, say”
Hi, my name is ______, I am
in Girl Scout troop ______, and would you like to buy some Girl Scout cookies?” would be an appropriate opening line.
The price was just
23 cents per box of 44 cookies
, or six boxes for $1.24! Girls developed their marketing and business skills and raised funds for their local Girl Scout council. A year later, Greater Philadelphia took cookie sales to the next level, becoming the first council to sell commercially baked cookies.
This past season, the scouts added a French toast-flavored cookie called “Toast-Yay!” In 2020, the new addition was a crispy, lemon-flavored cookie called
Lemon-Ups
, and in 2019, the gluten-free option Caramel Chocolate Chip joined the lineup, both of which were still available in 2021.
Somewhat unsurprisingly,
Thin Mints
were both the most popular Girl Scout cookie, scoring the highest number of votes, and the top choice in most states.

As the cost of baking and transporting the group's famous sweets shoots through the roof, the Girl Scouts of the USA has decided to package fewer cookies into boxes of Thin Mints, Do-si-dos and Tagalongs and to shrink the Lemon Chalet Creme cookies. …
