"Two years ago, we did a months-long study with a task group where we reviewed just about everything with the different vendors and their success rate," said Cassie Sterwald, communications director for the Girl Scouts of Manitou.
Only the Girl Scouts of Manitou - which encompasses all of Sheboygan, Manitowoc and Fond du Lac counties, and reaches parts of Calumet, Dodge, Ozaukee and Washington counties - sell cookies from Little Brownie Bakers. Wisconsin is almost entirely dominated by ABC Bakers, which is used by five of the state's six councils. Some states have just one Girl Scouts council, so the entire state gets the same batch of cookies. Each Girl Scouts council chooses which bakery to get its cookies from. There are two national distributors of Girl Scout Cookies: ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers. Wait, *why* are Girl Scout Cookies different in different parts of Wisconsin? So their Thin Mints are crafted from a chocolate-ier recipe, the Caramel deLites are called Samoas, and Thanks-A-Lot don't exist.Īnd the differences don't stop there. The 4,000 troops of the Girls Scouts of Manitou, based in Sheboygan, use a different baker than the rest of the state. It's Girl Scout Cookie season, and almost all Wisconsin customers will be sold Caramel deLites, Lemonades and Peanut Butter Patties - except those in one part of the state.
