As of my last update, the ability to buy Girl Scout cookies online varies by location and may depend on local Girl Scout councils' policies and partnerships. Here are some common methods for purchasing Girl Scout cookies online:
1. **Official Girl Scout Website**:
- Visit the official Girl Scout website (girlscouts.org) and use their cookie finder tool to locate sales in your area.
- Some local councils may offer the option to buy cookies online through their official website. Check with your local council for availability.
2. **Third-Party Platforms**:
- Some local Girl Scout councils may partner with third-party platforms to sell cookies online. Look for announcements or promotions from your local council regarding online cookie sales.
3. **Girl Scout Cookie Apps**:
- Some Girl Scout councils offer mobile apps that allow you to purchase cookies online. These apps may provide information about local cookie sales and online ordering options.
4. **Social Media and Online Marketplaces**:
- Girl Scout troops or individual scouts may advertise cookie sales on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, or Nextdoor.
- Some troops or scouts may also sell cookies through online marketplaces like eBay or Etsy, although this is less common and may not be officially sanctioned by the Girl Scouts.
5. **Direct Sales from Scouts**:
- Contact local Girl Scout troops or individual scouts in your area to inquire about online ordering options. Some troops may have their own websites or online order forms for cookie sales.
Keep in mind that the availability of online ordering may vary depending on your location and the specific policies of your local Girl Scout council. If you're unable to find online ordering options, you can also support Girl Scouts by purchasing cookies in person from local booth sales or by making a donation directly to the organization.
