Girl Scouts Series Books - A List of Titles and Authors

This is the text of an eBay guide that I created in 2006.  The guides are now orphaned pages that can only be found through an Internet search.  eBay plans to delete the guides in April 2018.

This eBay guide was viewed approximately 9,400 times.

The purpose of this guide is to list the many different vintage series books for children that have featured Girl Scouts as the main characters.  

Building a series around a troop of Girl Scouts was a frequently ploy by publishers during the first half of the 20th century. 

This list is likely not a complete list of all of the different Girl Scouts series books, but it should list the majority of the different books that can be collected by Girl Scout and series book enthusiasts.  Keep in mind that to date I have not collected the majority of these titles and cannot comment as to how much scouting is present in each book.  

Additionally, this guide is not intended to be a price guide.  Values are constantly changing based on supply and demand, and a price guide would soon be be inaccurate.  Many of these books sell for very low prices due to lack of demand, while others sell for higher prices.  It depends upon who is looking on the week that a book is listed.
