By now, cookie sales have grown into a major moneymaking operation, bringing in over $714 million per year. Recent years, however, have seen cookie sales lagging with nearly six years of year over-year declines of about 1 percent each until the trend reversed last year. The recent economic downturn hasn’t helped matters either. After a restructuring of its operations in 2004, the Girl Scouts have made several changes to the program that they hope will help spark sales and create cost-saving opportunities.
