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!"

Issaquah Service Unit Added! PDF Print

Sunday, 08 October 2006

We would like to welcome the Issaquah Service Unit 444 of Totem Council, Washington to our service.  The Issaquah Service Unit is located just outside of Seattle, Washington and has roughly 50+ troops to their name.  The Issaquah Service Unit is expanding, and boasts 20 new troops in the area already and will use this service to expand their current growth by keeping in better communication with their leaders and girls, as well as keeping their leaders better informed about council activities and trainings going on near them!  Because of their size, keeping simple email lists is no longer an option!

This system was initially developed with the Issaquah Service Unit in mind in 2002, by a volunteer in the service unit who has extensive experience in Web Hosting, programming, and technologies.

Our goal is to help Scout Service Units, Councils, Packs, Dens and Leaders stay organized and communicate with those involved in their areas.  You will find tools from Scout Websites (post news, photos, meeting times, events and more) to Online Registration of events.

This service was created for the Community, and your participation will make this community grow and flourish. Take a look around, and see what we have to offer you today!
