CENTRAL TEXAS — Girl Scouts of Central Texas (GSCTX) will officially launch the 2021 Girl Scout Cookie season on January 20, 2021. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Girl Scouts are adapting their sales methods by including taking contact-free pickup and delivery orders through Grubhub.

With the pandemic, girl scouts are facing the same challenges as other small businesses and are pivoting their sales methods. From running virtual friend-to-friend cookie booths on social media to setting up drive-through locations to stretching their digital marketing skills.

The proceeds from each and every purchase stay local with the troop and the Central Texas council to power Girl Scouts’ essential leadership programming.

In Killeen, consumers can order Girl Scout Cookies for pickup or delivery on Grubhub.com or the Grubhub app. This method will be available in most of the Killeen area on weekends 11:00 am – 5:00 pm.

As always, the proceeds benefit the troop and council while providing another innovative way to safely run the cookie program virtually.

Girl Scout Cookie season is recognized in Central Texas from January 20 through February 28.
