SWEET DEAL: Girl Scout Cookies are in full swing but some boxes are more expensive than others
"Some specialty products, like our gluten-free cookie varieties, may be priced higher than other Girl Scout Cookies, reflecting the cost of production," the GSUSA wrote.
The net revenue made from cookie purchases stays with local councils and troops to fund Girl Scout activities, community service projects and camp initiatives. The Girl Scout Cookie program got its start in 1917. Girl Scouts and mothers who volunteered as technical advisers opted to bake and sell cookies as a way to raise funds for the organization. These essential cookie sales launched nationally by the 1920s and were commercialized by the 1930s.
In July 1922, Chicago-based GSUSA director Florence E. Neil shared the first Girl Scout Cookie recipe in The American Girl magazine, which got published by the organization. Neil reported that troops could sell these simple sugar cookies for 25 or 30 cents per dozen, and that’s what many troops did when they sold the cookies door-to-door.In 1933, the Girl Scouts of Greater Philadelphia Council baked and sold cookies at gas and electric company windows throughout the city.
