Girl Scouts will continue their young entrepreneurial efforts via online platforms and utilize "virtual cookie booths" on social media, with supervision from a parent.

"Many girls will offer socially distant or contactless sales and delivery options," the GSUSA representative said. "Regardless of the sales method, every cookie purchase helps girls learn important entrepreneurship and business skills, and the money stays local to power amazing experiences for them."

"With every sale, the Girl Scout Cookie Program teaches girls how to think like entrepreneurs as they run their own small businesses and learn skills like goal setting, people skills, and decision making -- which are imperative for any leadership role," the GSUSA said in a statement. "And girls decide how to use their portion of the proceeds for unforgettable leadership experiences and community projects, while councils are dependent on the funds to deliver life-changing Girl Scout programming to 1.7 million girls."

The online Girl Scouts Cookie Care platform that debuted amid the ongoing pandemic last season will again enable customers to safely order cookies to be donated to first responders, volunteers, and local causes.
