We still have Digital Cookie where you can order your cookies online and have them shipped! There is still a 4 box minimum on online orders, but that's not hard to do when your cookies are as delicious as ours.

Try our new Adventureful cookie, its a brownie cookie with caramel creme and a hint of sea salt!

OK! Normally, I wouldn’t bug the internet with something like this but, I’m getting desperate to help my girl scouts reach their selling goals. 

COVID-19 has hit us hard. We are 6 days away from our initial order being due. 

This time last year we had 110 cases in our initial order. That’s 1320 boxes (individual packages of cookies)!!!

This year, we have only have about 25 cases in our initial order or 300 boxes of cookies. 

Please consider ordering girl scout cookies from our troop! If you have dietary restrictions or just don’t like to eat cookies, consider donating a box or two. Donated cookies will go to local Chicago area food pantries. 

Our council gets its cookies from Little Brownie Bakers, and you can get more information about the cookies here 

My girls will be using the cookie money we earn this season to fund their Bronze Award project and to pay their own fees to attend summer camp (assuming it doesn’t get cancelled this summer). Most of the girls in my troop are from low-income families, so they wouldn’t be able to attend summer camp without financial assistance or cookie program funding. Plus, the girls always feel proud to pay for their own summer camp, and this year they are finally old enough to sleep at camp! They are very excited.

Thank you for supporting my girl scouts!

Look at this photo of Baby Yoda with Girl Scout cookies!!!

OK... now that I have your attention!

Who wants to order GIRL SCOUT COOKIES? 🍪😍

Come on! Just look how much Baby Yoda loves Thin Mints!

Did I spend an insane amount of time learning to make/edit gifs just to make this?  Yes.

Was it worth it?  That depends on you... are you gonna buy some cookies?

So come on, use this link to access our troop’s cookie selling website. Cookies ordered here will be shipped directly from our supplier to your home, as soon as two days from when you place your order! This method can also be used to order cookies anywhere in the United States and some of its territories (details can be viewed on the website). 

HOWEVER, if you live in the CHICAGOLAND area, you get another option. You can use this google form to order cookies from our troop’s soon to be arriving inventory. This method allows you to bypass shipping fees by picking up your cookies from us or if you aren’t too far we might even be able to deliver them directly to you!

As their troop leader, I can see how much they are adapting to selling cookies with COVID-19 restrictions. It’s made this cookie season so much more challenging. As of right now, we have only sold about 350 boxes of cookies, whereas this time last year we had already sold about 1320 boxes in our initial order period.

My girls will be using the cookie money we earn this season to fund their Bronze Award project and to pay their own fees to attend summer camp (assuming it doesn’t get cancelled this summer). Most of the girls in my troop are from low-income families, so they wouldn’t be able to attend summer camp without financial assistance or cookie program funding. Plus, the girls always feel proud to pay for their own summer camp, and this year they are finally old enough to sleep at camp, so they are very excited.

Thank you for considering ordering girl scout cookies from our troop! And a HUGE THANK YOU to anyone who has already purchased cookies from our troop! Your support means everything!

If you have dietary restrictions or just don’t like to eat cookies, consider donating a box or two. Donated cookies will go to local Chicago area food pantries.

🚨🚨🚨 This is not a drill!🚨🚨🚨

You read that right! The last day to order cookies to be shipped directly to your home or to donate cookies is April 4th! 

you can do that here: https://digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/troop55906-430

If you live in the Chicagoland area and would like to order cookies without paying for shipping we can figure something out. Follow this link for more details: http://bit.ly/cookies-last-chance

A HUGE THANK YOU to anyone who has already ordered! the girls were psyched to see orders come in from all around the country. We really appreciate your support!

here’s a few pictures of us selling girl scouts cookies at our outdoor booths! under the cut

This year was our second cookie season and everything was going great: my girls were surpassing their sales numbers from the year before and we were getting ready for our final 2 cookie booths.

Then everything changed when the coronavirus attacked. Everything was suddenly canceled: troop meetings, cookie booths, weekend events. We were suddenly left without a way to sell our remaining inventory!

After selling some to friends and family, our numbers our down to 78 boxes, and the girls have now chosen to donate our remaining boxes to our local dedicated hospital staff that are sacrificing their time and potentially their health to treat and contain the spread of the virus in our community.

So here’s how you can help! In order for the cookies to be donated, they must be paid for. If you’d like to put Girl Scout cookies into the hands of a hardworking medical professional, please consider contributing $5.
