I thought it was due to cost of living/rent etc differences.
Ours are $5 for most, $6 for S'mores and gf. Little Brownie Bakers. Incentives seem ridiculously high. (24 for a patch, 50 for a bandanna) We live in a very HCOL area, though.
It is sometimes hard because people living in other areas will bring their kids' lower priced cookies to work, and we get customers who want the lower priced cookies. We've had camp closures, too.

My daughter has been wanting to age out specifically so she can be a lifetime member at half price. Not sure what else she wants out of the program, but she says she wants to keep going and use her money for a lifetime membership. It's a goal, right? :-) She's 14, almost 15 and we're struggling to keep the troop together at this point. Wishing that Juliettes can sell cookies so we didn't have to worry about keeping 5 girls active!

Our girls have to sell 65 boxes for a patch, 100 for the 100 year of cookies patch, 350 boxes for a tee shirt... It's a lot of cookies. It's also 125 boxes/day of resident camp they want to go which is what she works for. Incentives aren't that special to them.

That's not right about the lower price cookies at work. :(
Have the girls talk to the council about it. Make their voices heard, it's their sale after all.
