Girl Scouts allowed to sell their delicious cookies online

As if trying to avoid buying another box of delicious Girl Scout cookies wasn’t hard enough, now it will get much more difficult. The Girl Scouts of the USA is now allowing young girls to bring their business enterprise into the 21st century to sell cookies online.

The group’s 2 million girls will be allowed to sell Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs and other varieties with a mobile app or personalized websites, if they get parental approval first. Cookie orders will then be shipped right to your doorstep.

“Girls have been telling us that they want to go into this space,” Sarah Angel-Johnson, chief digital cookie executive for the Girl Scouts, told the Associated Press. “Online is where entrepreneurship is going.”

The Girl Scouts expect over half of its members to launch digital stores to sell cookies. Still, they will not stop selling cookies the old fashioned way, with order forms and booths outside stores.

According to the New York Times, the digital program, called appropriately enough “Digital Cookie,” will start this month in select areas where Girl Scout councils have already started cookie-selling season and will go nationally in January.
