• Girl Scout Cookies are the number one brand of cookies in the United States. They come from two different bakeries, and usually have one new cookie style each year. The cookies are sold as a fund raiser by the Girl Scouts of the USA and they can be bought either from Girl Scout troop members directly or at locations set up by troops, such as grocery stores and schools. Economic impact and the bad winter weather are affecting the sale of girl scout cookies this year. Sale have so far been reduced by 19 percent.
