Drove me fucking nuts, too. I am still a Girl Scout (lifetime membership, and I'm proud of it, so there XP) but I moved from overseas to the state and all of a sudden I have NO clue what the hell the cookies are. Nine times out of ten, though, people just call them the real names.

There's two different bakeries (at least that's what they told ME). In Colorado it was ABC and Little Brownie or something. One of them called the cookies the "real" names. Samoas, Do-si-does, Tagalongs, Trefoils, etc. The other calls them weird stuff.
Samoas = Caramel deLites (or some retarded spelling) Do-si-does = Peanut Butter Sandwiches Tagalongs = Peanut Butter Patties (you can see how those get confusing0 Trefoils = Shortbread
I think there's more. I just can't remember off the top of my head.

your girl guides have werid cookies. Mine had either chocolate mint ones (which naoise mentioned) or more recently cheap remakes of oreos and oreo blondies. We never had special names they were just "Girl Guide Cookies"

They're usually BASICALLY the same...but those little things differ, yeah. Guides aren't exactly the same as Scouts. Same principle, different details. We have the awesome cookies.

uhm, with girl scouts, it used to be like this:
daisy -> brownie -> girl scout -> junior (or something..?)
i think that's it. but then they took away daisies.
