Using Digital Cookie, Girl Scouts can boost their sales and build modern tech skills through hands-on experience. Our Race to the Rally contest encourages girls to explore the online storefront. Each week during this cookie season, every girl with 10 or more Hometown Heroes donations collected through Digital Cookie will be entered to win a customized bluetooth speaker!
Then, we'll end with a grand finale! From February 27 to March 5, girls can gain exciting rewards during this week that customers can order cookies to be shipped through Digital Cookie! See contest dates and details.
Please remind the Girl Scouts in your troop about this awesome opportunity. We also have Digital Cookie Resources available to share on our website.
