Girl Scout cookie season is here, which means it’s time to stock up on our favorite cookies (anyone else love themself a good Thin Mint?) and make them last long enough until they’re on sale again.

ROAONKE, Va. – It is that time of year when Girl Scouts across the country and here at home turn into cookie CEOs. This year, you don’t even have to leave your home to get the delicious treat as the Girl Scouts are partnering with Grubhub to deliver cookies right to your door. Local Girl Scouts will track and fulfill orders, manage inventory, and more while using Grubhub’s technology and delivery service. Grubhub is waiving its fees so proceeds will continue to benefit Girl Scout troops. “When people put in their order through Grubhub for their Girl Scout cookies a Grubhub delivery driver will show up here in Roanoke at the Girl Scout headquarters and there will be a troop there to give them the cookies and then the Grubhub driver will deliver it right to your doorstep, so contact-free delivery,” explained Jennifer Pfister with Girl Scouts of Virginia Skyline Council.

ROANOKE, Va. – Taking time in an election year to educate the next generation on voting. The Girl Scouts of Virginia Skyline launched a Future Voter Series. For seven weeks, Girl Scouts will learn about the party system, different branches of government, the electoral college and more. The idea came about after scout leaders started asking questions themselves about the election process. Anyone can register for the Future Voter Series by clicking here.
