Thanks to the hard work of Girl Scouts from Daisies to Ambassadors, and with the support of their friends and family, Medford troops set a record for the number of cookies sold for the fourth year in a row. Total sales for the 2019/20 cookie season were 49,249 packages, an increase of 12.48%. As we embrace technology, online sales were up 32% and the per girl average went up from 147 to 166 packages.
