The Globe found that a box of Thin Mints sold for $3.50 in Rockland, Massachusetts and $4.00 in neighboring Norwell . </P> <P> Elizabeth Brinton, also known as the "Cookie Queen", sold a record 18,000 boxes of cookies in a single sales season, and more than 100,000 boxes in her time as a girl scout . She is known for selling cookies to sitting president Ronald Reagan . Her record held for more than twenty - nine years, until Katie Francis, 12, sold 18,107 boxes in 2014 . As of 2017, Charlotte McCourt, a girl scout from New Jersey, sold over 25,000 boxes of cookies, breaking the record . </P> <P> Each Girl Scout council operates its own cookie sale . Approximately 70% of the proceeds stay in the local Girl Scout council to support Girl Scouting in that area, including a portion, approximately 15%, that goes directly to the group selling the cookies .

In 1992 Girl Scouts sold 175 million boxes of cookies nationwide . </P>
