Digital Cookie

Digital Cookie is a fun and easy-to-use tool to help girls kick off their cookie business and take their sales beyond the booth with online and mobile channels that make it easy for cookie fans near and far to support their favorite Girl Scout!

Learn how girls set up their digital storefront and easily inform their customers that their cookie business is open. Customers love how easy it is to place their orders with Digital Cookie. Use the mobile app to take cookie orders too. Learn how girls can take their cookie business to greater heights using the contactless reader during the booth phase. Plus, troop leaders will learn new ways they can use Digital Cookie to support their troop.

Girls/parents will receive a welcome email from Digital Cookie to set up their Digital Cookie site on Dec. 10.

Why Cookies?

When you sell Girl Scout Cookies, you're doing more than helping your customers stock up on delicious treats (and having lots of fun). You're doing it with a goal in mind—a goal to power new, unique, and amazing experiences for yourself and your troop all year long!

Whether that goal is an unforgettable trip to an exciting new place, a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) project that will change the way you look at the world, or an opportunity to attend Girl Scout camp and make a lifetime of memories, you know how many boxes you need to sell to make it happen.

When you participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program you're part of the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world—and that’s kind of a huge deal!

Having the opportunity to run your very own cookie business gives you skills essential for success today and in the future:
