There is no better season than Girl Scout’s cookie season. Now is the time to repeat your favorite fundraising treats. I’m talking about the Thin Mints, the Caramel d-Lites, the Tagalongs and the Do-si-dos. Every year, young, enterprising Girl Scouts are tasked with selling cookies to raise money for their troops. The cookie drive promotes financial literacy for the scouts and teaches them modern business skills.
Today’s youth are particularly well positioned to become tech moguls in the cookie tradeas the pandemic means they will run more and more of their business through online sales– and now even in partnership with food delivery service Grub Hub. Here are the different ways you can order cookies online this year.
Use Grub Hub

Sign up or log into the app and enter your zip code or address to find the Girl Scout group near you. Delivery takes place between 4 pm and 7 pm. daily, right at your door. The Grub Hub service is only available in select cities, so use the app’s cookie finder site to find out where to get Girl Scout cookies.
