“Girl Scout Cookies” is a brand of its own. They’re mostly pretty good too. I’m a samoa guy, when I can be talked into spending way too much on cookies where the actual local scouts don’t really see enough of the funding from the sales.
I’m not a fan of the organization. The cookies though, they’re legit.
Small correction, only discovered when I moved across the country: there are two factories producing Girl Scout Cookies – and the recipes have overlap, but each production company has a few unique ones. So sometimes I have to order from my niece rather than my neighbor.
That’s why in some areas Samoas are called Caramel Delights. IIRC, they use extremely slightly different recipes, and there is some sort of licensing agreement between the two.
All I know is that as a Cub/Boy Scout, I loathed Girl Scout Cookie season, because it overlapped with Boy Scout Popcorn season. It took me years to figure out that the way to sell the stuff was to completely ignore the product, and sell the idea of “keeping young boys from inventing their own entertainment.”
They’re all the same.

Some of them are the same everywhere, though.
