If you're looking to score some Tagalongs or Thin Mints from the Girl Scouts this year, you'll have to do it on your computer instead of at your doorstep.
The pandemic has ushered out the typical practices of selling the famous cookies and brought in online orders through what officials call the Digital Cookie platform.
"We want to make sure that the girls are as safe as possible," says Jenna Kierstedt, director of sales and merchandizing for the Suffolk Girl Scouts. "They can put all of their goals and information as far as what they're planning to do with the proceeds. They can put that all on the site."
The site allows you to place and order and choose if you want them shipped or if you want a Scout to deliver them. Amani Bardley-Coleman, 10, says creating her site was a lot of fun.
"Creating my avatar and selling the cookies, trying to get people to buy from me," she says. "Selling cookies virtually helps me reach people that I can't get to now in a safe way who I want to sell cookies to, like my family or friends that live in Florida."
The Digital Cookie platform has been around since 2014, but Kierstedt says it's generated a lot more sales since COVID-19 hit, already doubling digital sales from this time last year.
The digital effort doesn't stop there -- the Girl Scouts of the USA announced this week that they will offer contactless delivery and pickup of their cookies through GrubHub.
