Product Sales History
More than 70 years ago, Girl Scouts began selling Girl Scout calendars and cookies to earn their “Money Wise” badge, and to help subsidize troop and council expenses. It started as a local fund-raiser that grew into a national phenomenon.
In 1995 two new products and programs were introduced: Girl Scout nuts and a magazine subscription/renewals. With the addition of these new products during the Fall Sale, troop and council income steadily increased.
Today, the Girl Scout Cookie Sale is the premier program-related product sale in the United States and generates over 50 percent of the revenue necessary to provide the Girl Scout program. Many women who sold cookies as Girl Scouts fondly recall the valuable lessons they learned: self-confidence, goal setting, money management, and team work. The skills that girls develop while participating in these programs help them to face tomorrow’s challenges.
