Press release from the Elgin Area Chamber of Commerce: January 05, 2022 Northern Illinois – Local Girl Scouts have set-up their cookie websites and been busy marketing their products and selling Girl Scout Cookies online since December 13, 2021, for the Early Bird Online Only part of the annual Girl Scout Cookie Program! Now that 2022 is here, Girl Scouts may choose to take cookie orders safely in-person from January 5–29, as they create new ways to connect with customers and offer contactless ordering and delivery door-to-door!   This year's delicious cookie lineup features refreshing Thin Mints (vegan!), caramel-y Samoas, peanut butter-stuffed Tagalongs, crunchy Do-si-dos, buttery Trefoils, sweet S'mores, and toffee-chipped Toffee-tastics (gluten free, too!). New this year are Adventurefuls™—an indulgent, brownie-inspired cookie with caramel flavored crème and a hint of sea salt!   Cookies are on sale for only $5 per package! Girl Scouts can accept orders safely in-person or through Digital Cookie 8.0. This digital platform allows Girl Scouts to take electronic orders for cookies. Customers can now order and pay for cookies online and have the option to have the cookies shipped directly to them (shipping charges apply), have a Girl Scout offer contactless delivery of cookies to their door, or donate cookies (with no additional handling fees).   Don't know a Girl Scout? Visit www.girlscoutsni.org/buycookies to be connected to a local entrepreneur who would love to add you to her customer list!   During Girl Scout Cookie season, each local Girl Scout sets out to sell delectable cookies while also building entrepreneurial and business skills imperative for leadership and future success.
