Girl Scouts to host drive-thru cookie sales Feb. 6, 20 in Millsboro
Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay has officially kicked off the 2021 Girl Scout Cookie season, during a challenging time when many Girl Scouts are selling in creative, socially distant and contact-free ways to keep themselves and their customers safe.
Girl Scout Troop 333 will host drive-thru cookie sales events from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 6 and 20, in the Millsboro Town Hall parking lot. The scouts are eager to get outside and practice their entrepreneurial cookie sales skills, and also earn rewards, badges and money for the troop the council.
Customers can pay with cash or credit cards on site for everyone’s favorite Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Samoas, Trefoils, Dosidos and Lemon Ups for $5 per box. Premium Smores cookies and our gluten free Toffee Tastics are available for $6 per box.
Even in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, girls are adapting their sales methods to share the joy of Girl Scout Cookies through the largest girl-led entrepreneurship program. This cookie season, Girl Scouts have the opportunity to sell cookies in a more robust manner online. Ordering online previously was limited to family and friends that had a girl’s unique cookie business web address. This year, consumers who don’t know a Girl Scout can still purchase cookies from a local troop for direct shipment to their homes or donation to local organizations.
Girl Scouts are excited to continue expanding their cookie businesses through technology.
"Digital Cookie helps me reach customers who live far away, and to safely sell cookies to neighbors nearby. My goal is to sell 1,500 boxes of cookies to help pay for our troop trip to Paris in 2020,” said Olivia Bruno of Troop 547, Smyrna.
Consumers can savor cookies and know that their longtime favorite treats are fueling future leaders and entrepreneurs. And as always, the proceeds from each and every purchase stay local with the troop and its council to power Girl Scouts’ essential leadership programming.
