Summary
The Girl Scouts are facing cookie shortages due to production problems at their main baking partner, Little Brownie Bakers, which is owned by Ferrero. The baking company has struggled to keep up with demand due to supply chain issues, labor shortages, and weather-related power outages. This has led to sagging sales for local Girl Scout troops and a shortage of some cookie flavors, causing resale prices to skyrocket. The Girl Scouts are frustrated and keeping all options open as they address these issues with their baking partner. Ferrero has said that it is working to fulfill initial orders and that global supply chain issues, labor shortages, and severe weather have impacted the selling season.
