Andy Rooney from 60 Minutes were talking about the Girl Scout cookies. Keebler (yes, the elves) makes them in Louisville and another company from Richmond, VA makes others. Knowing know that Keebler makes them partly explains why these cookies are sooooooo goooooood!!

Fmr. Brownie, Junior, Cadette checking in
When I was in GS one year I had 12 cases at my house (mom was troop leader) and we couldn't store them where we had our meetings. Yes Cases ladies and my dad decided it was a free for all on cookies ($2.00 then). He was a p'oed when I served him a bill of $30 for all the cookies he nibbled on! 
My fave is Thin Mints and Do-si-Do's
Old faves (no longer make)
The Oreo versions (chocolate sandwich and vanilla sandwich)
The Lemon sandwich cookie (I LOVED THAT COOKIE) we only had it for 2 years.
Least favorite: Samoas ( i hate coconut w/ a passion).
All this is from the 80's....
I took pre-orders in HS and the day that we could officially start selling I was delivering cookies when most were just getting their orders. My locker in school stayed full of cookies (had to share a locker with a friend for my books).
The only thing i hated was the profit scale for the actual troop. We got peanuts compared to how much we sold (had at least 3 folks that sold 250+ boxes still have my badge). and the prizes we got. I still have a bear that fits in the palm of my hand he was so small!

then if you really love any Girl Scout cookies, go to the ice cream section and get the matching ice cream from Edy's .....double dose of totally yummy....but I am not a thin mint person either....but the ice cream rocks those who love those...for me, they have the best butter ones and yes, you can taste the love put in them by the Keebler girl scout elves!!

My favorite is definitely the samoas. No matter what anyone says, caramel delites aren't the same!
P.S. Alum-congrats to your daughter! As a 15+ year Girl Scout (I'm now a GS trainer) the Gold Award is an amazing accomplishment!

We are very proud! She is going to try to find a troop to help with next year near to whatever school she attends.
I can't believe I will have to buy cookies from somebody else next year.

It's that time AGAIN!
I purchased one box (sugar free brownies) for my mother from a colleague this morning.
If soror colleague brings her order form, I'll purchase a couple of boxes. If not, that's  .

My daughter got her form yesterday. (Dunno why so late?  ) But PM me if you want to order Samoas, Trefoils, Thin Mints, DoSiDos, AllAbouts, the coffee crunch (I think) and the low fat brownie things. We can ship.

Why not ask the troop leader or contact the council? How about the cookie company?

Actually jitterbug, Andy must've been kidding because the two bakeries are Little Brownie (located in KY) and ABC.
Alum-PM me if your daughter is looking for information on Campus Girl Scouts.

that makes sense. i have gotten GS cookies (trefoils) from 3 different troops in 3 different locations and there's something different everytime.
my favorite GS cookies are: trefoils/(shortbread) and tag-a-longs (shortbread and chocolate)
