Girl Scouts prep for Digital Cookie

WARWICK – Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England will be part of the national organization’s new Digital Cookie platform, expanding the program’s ability to teach girls new skills for business and life.
Digital Cookie enhances the organization’s “hands-on” approach to teaching girls new skills, enabling them to take in-person cookie orders from customers and, for the first time, automate cookie shipments through a unique transaction application designed specifically for Girl Scouts. The program adds lessons about online marketing, application use, and e-commerce for more than a million Scouts.
“Through Digital Cookie, we are incorporating modern and innovative technology into the Girl Scout Cookie Program,” said Neil M. Stamps, CEO of Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England. “Digital Cookie lets us continue our proud tradition of teaching today’s girls the skills of tomorrow, while remaining true to the core principles of the Girl Scout mission and the values taught by our iconic cookie program.”
Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England, which has 2,600 adult volunteers serving 7,700 girls, will begin using the platform at the start of its cookie-selling season on Dec. 22.
Like the traditional cookie program, the net revenue earned from the digital cookie sale will remain in Southeastern New England. Girls decide how to spend their troop cookie money and reinvest it in neighborhoods through community service projects and learning experiences.
”Girl Scout Cookies have always been about so much more than a delicious treat – they’re about helping girls learn important business lessons,” said Anna Maria Chávez, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA. “This year, when you’re buying your Thin Mints and Caramel deLites digitally, you can feel good that you’re helping girls learn the skills the cookie program has always instilled in a 21st century way, turning today’s girls into tomorrow’s business and tech leaders.”
