Background History

• Girl Scout cookies produce several varieties of
  cookies sold by Girl Scouts of the USA(GSUSA) as
  a fundraiser for their local scout units.
• Members of the GSUSA have been selling cookies
  since 1917 to raise funds.
• In 1933, Girl Scouts in Philadelphia organized
  the first official "Girl Scout Cookie" sale,
  selling homemade cookies in the windows of local
  utility companies.
• Most Girl Scouts sell cookies to their relatives,
  friends, neighbors, and to others in their town
  or city. Some sales are from customers who place
  an order for the number of boxes of each cookie
  type (Thin Mints, Samoas, etc.).
