Girl Scouts of the USA has announced that getting your Thin Mints and Tagalongs will be easier than ever, as the cookies will be sold online and through apps.

The catch is that you still need to know a club member to get the goods.

Given that the majority of the girls are under the age of 18, privacy was a significant concern when setting up the e-commerce system.

After much discussion, it was finally determined that the best way to go about online ordering was to allow each member to set up her own mini site and make access to it invitation-only.

To place orders via the Internet, a buyer must receive an email from a scout and use the link provided in it.

The method also keeps the girls out there building valuable skills, as they’ll have to put in some work to establish their clientele.

Those who choose to do so face-to-face will be building their interpersonal abilities.

Members opting to go the social media route will gain insights into the power of networking.

At its core, the cookie-selling practice hasn’t changed at all. The girls will still set and work to meet goals.

The money earned will fund community outreach and troop activities.
