It appears to vary depending on the Girl Scouts organization selling them I just removed this small paragraph As part of the change in organizational structure in August 2006 this variation was ended and all troops now sell cookies at the same time in the early months of each year and at the same price 4 per box The linked page doesn t say anything about a national pricing policy just what the price is from Girl Scouts of Northern California And the price there is 4 00 whereas my daughter s scout troop in Philadelphia are selling them for 3 50
