2018 marks the 106th year of Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts was started by Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low in Savannah, Georgia on March 12, 1912.

2018 marks the fourth year that Girl Scout Cookies can be purchased online via Digital Cookie. This part of the Girl Scout Cookie Program combines the values and lessons of door-to-door and booth sales with 21st century business and entrepreneurial skills. Digital Cookie lets girls sell cookies from protected, personalized websites. For the safety of Girl Scouts, customers can access the link through an email sent by the Girl Scout or parent. Digital Cookie sales continue through April 15.
Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming sell eight varieties of cookies: Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-si-dos, Trefoils, Savannah Smiles, gluten free Toffeetastics and Girl Scout S’mores™. Introduced last year, S’mores has been the most popular flavor to launch in the 101 years of Girl Scouts selling cookies!
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is not a fundraiser, it is a program! By creating a plan, interacting with customers, and working as part of a team, girls learn 5 Skills--goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics--to help them succeed in everyday life.
Girl Scout Cookies will sell for $4 per box with the exception of the gluten-free Toffee-tastics and S’mores which sell for $5 per box.
All of the revenue earned from cookie sales – every penny after paying the baker – stays with the local troops and council. Girls decide how to spend their troop cookie money and reinvest it in their neighborhoods through service projects and learning experiences, including travel.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led business in the world. Across the country, Girl Scouts sell about 200 million boxes of cookies—nearly $800 million worth—during each cookie season.
In Montana and Wyoming, last year, Thin Mint cookies won first place over the Samoa. The Samoa and Thin Mint are generally the top two cookies in the USA.
Famous Girl Scouts include Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Sheryl Crow, Halle Berry, Reese Witherspoon, Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifah, Barbara Walters, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton.
Our baker, Little Brownie, bakes over 4.5 million Thin Mints per day during peak baking times.
Little Brownie Baker makes its own caramel for Samoas. It’s cooked the old fashioned way in copper kettles and heated to exactly 234 degrees.
To bake Do-si-dos and Tagalongs, they use 230-thousand pounds of peanut butter per week.
