Local Girl Scouts Prepare for Enhanced Cookie Season Program Amid COVID-19

For six weeks each year, Girl Scouts in Arizona participate in the world’s largest girl-led entrepreneurial program: The Girl Scout Cookie Program. This year, the cookie season for the Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council (GSACPC) will take place Jan. 18 to Feb. 28, 2021.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, GSACPC developed innovative ways for girls to safely sell cookies including opening the Digital Cookie app early for friends and family. The Digital Cookie app is an online selling platform where a Girl Scout can build their own custom website and invite friends and family to purchase cookies via email marketing.

Beyond the Digital Cookie Offering, local Girl Scout troops will also be coordinating drive-thru booths in 2021, with cashless transactions being strongly requested. The drive-thru booths will be in parking lots that allow for plenty of distancing and space for the girls and their parents. Cars will have the chance to pull to the front of the line, make their orders (masks required to make an order), and have the contactless or near contactless ability to pick up their cookies as they would from a traditional booth There will be parents stationed at each of these booths with sanitizing products to help the girls ensure maximum safety and monitor cookie transfer to cars.

• Lemon-Ups (introduced in 2020): Crispy lemon cookies baked with inspiring messages. $5
