Actually GSUSA has some pretty strict guidelines about selling cookies online.
Each council can sell online but only with in the guidelines. Individual troops generally are not permitted online sales.
Each council contracts with the cookie bakers themselves and negotiates the price. I can remember selling cookies for 50cents a box...and now they are what $3-$3.50...egads! Two commercial bakers are licensed by the national Girl Scout organization, Girl Scouts of the USA, to produce Girl Scout Cookies: ABC/Interbake Foods and Little Brownie Bakers.
The money breakdown for the box of cookies is pretty similar between the individual councils.
