Girl Scouts of Nassau County (GSNC) recently launched a Digital Cookie’s Digital Order Card— the first ever online ordering option for Girl Scout Cookies including favorites like Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Savannah Smiles and Samoas. Girl Scouts now have the option of setting up a website where friends and family can order Girl Scout Cookies from anywhere in the United States.
“Our Girl Scouts will be able to create and customize their personal Digital Cookie website to build customer lists, post photos or video to help market their cookie business and achieve their personal goals as well as track their cookie sales,” stated GSNC Executive Director and CEO Donna Ceravolo. “Going digital is yet another way for Girl Scouts to continue to learn financial literacy and valuable business lessons through our Girl Scout Cookie Program. Of course, girls will still be taking orders and having booth sales, but the Digital Cookie is just another option for building their skills.”
GSNC also announced the newest additions to America’s favorite treats with the creation of two brand new cookies, “Rah-Rah Raisins” and “Toffee-tastic.” The cookies are currently available for online
purchase and will be available at booth sale locations beginning Jan. 30, 2015. Rah-Rah Raisins is made with whole grain oats, and the hearty oatmeal cookies are loaded with plump raisins and Greek yogurt chunks.
For the first time in the Girl Scouts tradition of selling cookies, a gluten-free cookie option will be offered. Toffee-tastic, is a gluten-free cookie packed with golden toffee bits. These cookies have meet the gluten-free standards of the FDA and NSF, a public health and safety organization.
“We are so excited to announce the newest additions to our traditional Girl Scout cookie line,” said Ceravolo. “For years our customers have been asking for new varieties and we are pleased to offer them two new options this year! With the gluten-free “Toffee-tastic” and the” Rah-Rah Raisin,” which is only 60 calorie per cookie, even more people can enjoy Girl Scout cookies.”
The Girl Scout Cookie Program teaches girls valuable business lessons through hands-on opportunities in goal setting, decision making, money management, business ethics and people skills. As a part of the Girl Scout’s mission, the Girl Scout Cookie Program show girls the potential they possess to make differences in their community and in the world.
