BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Girl Scouts of Western New York kicked off their 2021 season on Tuesday by adapting the ways that they're selling cookies.

In addition, nationwide Girl Scout cookie ordering will be available on February 1st.

Girl Scout cookie season runs from now through March 28th, here's how you can order

  • If you know a registered Girl Scout, reach out to her to find out how she’s selling cookies in ways that meet local and state safety protocols.
  • If you don’t know a Girl Scout, visit www.girlscoutcookies.org, text COOKIES to 59618 (message and data rates may apply. Text STOPGS for STOP, HELPGS for help), or use the official Girl Scout Cookie Finder app for free on iOS or Android devices to find socially distant or contact-free cookie booths if they are available in your area. Booth sales will be available by troops March 6 - March 28th. Visit the booth finder after Feb 7th for a list of locations near you.
