Girl Scout Cookies® History
Baking a Classic
Early Years | 1930s | 1940s | 1950s | 1960s | 1970s | 1980s | 1990s | Today
In 1982, the four bakers produced a maximum of seven varieties of cookies—three mandatory (Thin Mint, Sandwich, and Shortbread) and four optional ones.
Packaging continued to depict scenes of Girl Scouts in action. In 1984, some of the licensed bakers started to produce gift samplings of Girl Scout Cookies® in special decorative tins.
