Unbelievable Facts About Girl Scout Cookies

The Girl Scouts Choose Which Of Two Bakeries To Use

Surprisingly given the sheer volume of cookies being baked in such a short timeframe - 200 million boxes in only three months - only two bakeries are used to make all of the Girl Scouts’ signature cookies. Another surprising fact surrounding the cookie production is that each individual scout council chooses which bakery and which name to call the cookies. That’s why some years buyers may feel betrayed when their local troop doesn’t carry Tagalongs, but offers Peanut Butter Patties instead. Good news - they’re the same cookie!
