Girl Scout cookies have long been a staple of America's sweet tooth. What began as homemade offerings a century ago now has grown into an annual business venture that helps girls learn leadership and entrepreneurial skills while helping to fund local troop activities. With the recent introduction of online sales, it has become even easier to satisfy that cookie craving while supporting the troops.
Girl scout cookies are available to purchase at cookie booths and directly through online delivery. When purchasing at a booth, you can ask a Girl Scout to use her digital cookie site link or a Cookie Finder to accept credit card payment, then have your order shipped to you or dropped off on your doorstep. Girl scout cookies also are available to be purchased and picked up at local retail stores.
If you prefer to order your cookies online, you can do so through a Girl Scout's individual or troop digital cookie sites, which have been created using the eBudde platform provided by Little Brownie Bakery. Individual Girl Scouts who register for the digital cookie platform must have their parent's approval, and parents can view their daughter's online site at any time. Troops can create their own cookie websites and share them with friends and family.
A Girl Scout's online site BuyGirl scout cookies online allows her to sell cookies directly to her community, while flexing her entrepreneurial skills and building financial literacy and digital responsibility. She can set goals and receive real-time feedback, as well as earn rewards and badges based on her performance. She can also select a cookie share option for first responders, military organizations, veterans service organizations or local food pantries.
Those who do not want to buy cookies can donate money to the Girl Scouts and their mission. In addition to online sales, the Girl Scouts offer a mobile app that allows people to find a cookie shop and purchase cookies through their phone. In the past, people who wanted to buy Girl scout cookies could only do so at a local event sponsored by the Girl Scouts.
In the future, the Girl Scouts hope to expand their online presence to include more options for buyers and sellers. The organization hopes to offer a broader selection of products, as well as provide better customer support and more ways for customers to interact with Girl Scouts.
Whether you are buying Girl scout cookies for yourself, to give to a friend, or to support a worthy cause, you know that every bite counts. Proceeds from the cookie sales stay in the local community to help fund life-changing programs and experiences for Girl Scouts of all ages. With each sale, young women are becoming empowered to take on the world one adventure at a time.
