Following the launch of digital tools for virtual cooking selling, Girl Scouts of Kentucky announced a partnership with food ordering and delivery platform Grubhub to facilitate contact-free cookie orders during the 2021 Girl Scout Cookie season.
Beginning on February 5, 2021, consumers in Lexington and Northern Kentucky can order Girl Scout Cookies for pickup or delivery online or through the Grubhub App on Fridays and Saturdays from 4-7 pm.
Kentucky Girl Scouts will manage e-commerce, track and fulfill orders, and manage inventory, all using Grubhub’s back-end technology. Grubhub is waiving all fees to make this new delivery option feasible, without reducing Kentucky Girl Scout troops’ and councils’ cookie sale proceeds.
Online ordering for cookies to be shipped and delivered to your door begins on February 1, 2021. Customers can enter their zip code into the Girl Scout Cookie Finder to find a local troop to purchase from through the Digital Cookie platform. Kentucky Girl Scouts also use the new Smart Cookies Mobile App, a digital tool that allows girls to sell cookies and track progress from their mobile devices.
Revenue from the Girl Scout Cookie program stays in Kentucky. Girl Scout Cookie sales represent over 80% of GSKWR’s annual operating budget. All proceeds are truly girl-focused, with 19% going toward camp programs and properties, 19% toward troop proceeds and rewards, and 33% toward membership, volunteer development and program support. The vital programming that is funded through Girl Scout Cookie season leaves a lifelong impact on Kentucky’s future leaders.
