Girl Scout Cookies - Searching for cash in the fund-raising

Girl Scout Cookies go on sale again soon. Millions are anxious about this year’s season. Girl Scout Cookies time of year differs slightly for every location of the country. Every troop receives less than a dollar from every box of cookies sold.

The season to buy Girl Scout Cookies

Girl Scout Cookies are only available once a year which makes them very popular. The place you live will determine when Girl Scout Cookie season ends up being at. The next couple months can be when it starts for most though. Girl Scout Cookies are only there for limited time periods. This is what makes them so marketable with high value.

The cash from girl Scout Cookies

Between $3.50 and $4 is exactly how much a Girl Scout Cookie box costs. That is lots of cash to put out for between 10 and 20 cookies, however thousands of individuals willingly pay the cost each year. Between 50 and 57 cents per box is given to each troop, reports the national Girl Scout organization. The baker gets 85 cents to cover the cost of the cookies, and about 1 cent is given to the “neighborhood service unit.”. The remaining cash from Girl Scout Cookies is given to the regional council, which supports summer camps, training and adult volunteers. The national Girl Scout organization makes cash from licensing the Girl Scout Cookies name, images and cookies to other companies — e.g. Dairy Queen for the Thin Mint Blizzard.

Getting your own self-made Girl Scout Cookies

Many have tried out Girl Scout Cookie recipes at home as Girl Scout cookies are only accessible for just a little while. There are lots of copycat Girl Scout Cookies recipes accessible if you need your fix. You may either buy some cookies or donate directly to a troop or regional council if you were hoping to donate cash to Girl Scouts. One of the most beneficial fundraising activities will likely be Girl Scout Cookies being sold either way.
