 90-year Tradition Meets New Media as GSUSA Launches www.girlscoutcookies.org
CONTACT: Girl Scouts of the USA
NEW YORK - Now in their 90th year of sales, Girl Scout cookies - those delectable treats sold by Girl Scouts across the United States and its territories - have a new official online home: www.girlscoutcookies.org.
This mini-Web site from Girl Scouts of the USA offers consumers point-of-sale information that makes finding Girl Scout cookies fast, fun and interactive.
At girlscoutcookies.org, consumers simply use their ZIP code to find out when and where to purchase Girl Scout cookies. In addition, Girl Scout cookies also have a new official presence on the popular social networking site, MySpace.com, and four vintage cookie promotional commercials pulled from the archives have been added to Web sites that feature online videos. The most popular of these is YouTube.com, but the videos have also been added to Google, Yahoo, Grouper, Sharkle, Break, Friendster, AOL Uncut, Uber and Soapbox.
"By creating a one-stop online destination with information about every council that sells one of America's favorite treats, we believe it will be easier than ever to enjoy a quality product while supporting girls and young women throughout the country," says Kathy Cloninger, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA. "This annual, voluntary activity teaches girls essential financial skills they will use their entire lives. We're proud that the Girl Scout Cookie Program has become the nation's premier business and economic literacy program and believe this online initiative will truly strengthen the program and result in a successful 2007 sale!"
