Girl Scout Cookie Logistics Powered by Parent Volunteers
-
Cookie pickup day is a massive logistical operation run by parent volunteers to distribute over 3,000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.
-
The Girl Scout cookie program brings in over $1 billion in revenue annually through the sale of around 200 million boxes.
-
Troops keep 25-30% of cookie sale proceeds, with the rest going to costs like transportation and rewards.
-
Parents provide crucial volunteer work like managing orders, sorting cookies, working booths, and promoting sales.
-
Cookie sales raise money for troops to fund activities they choose like camping trips and cooking lessons.
