That's why I would just donate my money. I won't buy something I think is a bad deal just to help the girls. I can help the girls by giving them directly.

I wonder what kind of percentage of the price of cookies goes to the GS? I think very little. So I would give the GS money but I don't buy the cookies. May be I am wrong but I feel the cookies company takes advantage of the GS.
A quick google search tells me that 100% of the proceeds go to the GS. Not only that - the proceeds stay in the local community where the cookies were sold.

Define "proceeds"!....
They get a cut, NOT the whole price of the box of cookies!
The cut goes to the troop selling them.

The cut is about 75%. For each $4.00 the GSA keeps $3.00.

Yea, the troop used to get $1 a box recently from what I remember, not sure if it went up with the $5 boxes or not.
I'll guess still a dollar.
(I think the troop got 50ยข when boxes were $2.)

Aside from online, I haven't seen them for sale for decades.
? You must not have a lot of Girl Scouts in your neighborhood.
In LA, girls and moms sell them from a table in front of the grocery store and lots of signs in the neighborhod houses, "get your cookies here!"
I buy some 'cause the kids are so cute and hopefull!
And parents at work used to sell them, too. Now we work from home so that is not possible.
