Girl Scouts USA gets 30 percent,
Cookie Revenue
Where does my money go when I buy Girl Scout Cookies?
With every purchase, approximately 70% of the proceeds stays in the local Girl Scout council and with troops to provide a portion of the resources needed to support Girl Scouting in that area, including the portion that goes directly to the group selling the cookies. The balance goes to the baker to pay for the cookies.
Does any of the money from cookie sales go to Girl Scouts of the USA (the national Girl Scouts organization)?
Girl Scouts of the USA is paid a royalty for use of the licensed trademarks by its licensed bakers based on gross annual sales volume. Girl Scout councils do not provide any portion of their cookie revenue to Girl Scouts of the USA, and no other revenue from cookie sales goes to Girl Scouts of the USA. Girl Scouts of the USA provides contractual services and approves all program, marketing, and sales materials developed by the bakers. GSUSA also provides coordination and training for national media, safety standards for girls and volunteers, our world-renowned girl-leadership program, and full support during cookie season.
well, your first sentence doesnt make any sense but the rest of your comment is almost a direct quote from QA about cookie sales, which benefit Councils and troops, not GSUSA in NYC
Here’s direct link to national blog site

cookie money goes to the bakers and to GS Councils and Troops. For a $4 box of cookies my troop makes about $.75 because the girls earned their way up to top level incentives. When someone donates money at a cookie booth, they use it to buy extra boxes of cookies and donate them to First Responders in our community - their decision
We have also “bought” cookies (or “biscuits”) by making donations to Girl Scouts and Guides in New Jersey, New Zealand and Japan after natural disasters disrupted their cookie sales..looks like we’ll be buying cookies from Councils in Oklahoma this year
