Phone App Helps You Find Girlscout Cookies In Your Area

By: Stephen Crews

Updated: January 30, 2011

For everyone who enjoys delicious Girl Scout cookies, but doesn't necessarily know a sweet little lady... there's an app for that. The application, which is available for iPhones and iPod Touch, uses either GPS or manually entered zip codes, citing or states to find cookie booths near the customer. The app will conveniently map those locations and add the sale information to the iPhone or iPod calendar.

In addition to locating the booths, customers can learn about their favorite cookies, including nutritional value and ingredients. Cookie lovers can take a fun, interactive quiz to learn their "cookie personalities" as well.

"The app is one more way that the Girl Scout Cookie Program teaches girls important business, leadership and technology skills," said Hilary Perry, Director of Communications & Advocacy.

All cookies sell for $3.50 each. For more information, call 800-734-4541 or visit www.girlscoutsnca.org.
