(WHNT) – It’s Girl Scout cookie season, and there are plenty of flavors to choose from when the Girl Scouts come knocking at your door. But you may be wondering, which Girl Scout cookie flavor is the most popular? And which one sells the least?
Girl Scout councils worldwide typically hold cookie sales between January and April to “help girls learn skills they need to become successful adults who contribute to their communities and strengthen the U.S. workforce.” Local councils set up booths to sell around 13 different cookie flavors, with various cookies available in different areas, and the money raised by the scouts stays with their local council. In the 2021 annual report, the Girl Scouts reported that the cookie program earned $6,455,391.
According to the Girl Scouts website, Thin Mints is the highest-selling flavor of cookies nationwide, followed by Samoas. The top five flavors of cookies sold nationally include:
- Thin Mints
- Caramel deLites/Samoas
- Almond Butter Patties/Tagalongs
- Adventurefulls
- Do-si-dos/Peanut Butter Sandwich
The percentages of cookie flavors sold vary by region, but for the North-Central Alabama council, Thin Mints are once again the top-selling flavor, followed by Samoas.
