Girl Scout Cookies - baked by Girl Scouts or their mothers - were successfully used as a money maker for troops in the earliest days of Girl Scouting.

Funds stayed within the troop. Guidelines and recipes were developed by councils and GSUSA to maintain the quality of the cookies.

Soon, to protect the reputation and trademark of Girl Scouting, licensed bakers were hired to produce the cookies with boxes and tins that used the GSUSA name and logo. Cookie sales went national.

he Girl Scout Thin Mint was born.

During the World War II era, with rationing of sugar, flour and other supplies, cookie sales were discontinued. Calendar sales were developed to help continue the funding that was now relied upon.

Official Girl Scout cookie boxes have come in a wide variety of designs. Before Little Brownie Bakers and ABC Bakers there was Burry's, Weston and FVV. Dating boxes is difficult due to yearly changes.
