Here’s a bit of good news for Girl Scout cookie fans.
Girl Scout cookies will be available for order and delivery through GrubHub beginning Feb. 1 in select markets across the country.
The service could be available in the Chicago area by mid-February as soon as safety protocols can be established to keep Scouts, parents, volunteers and delivery drivers safe, according to Julie Somogyi, spokeswoman for Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana.
“We’re trying to navigate how we do this safely,” Somogyi said.
Local Girl Scout councils were left to coordinate specific safety measures in line with city and state governments. Under the arrangement, Grubhub drivers will pick up cookie orders from distribution hubs staffed by chaperoned Scouts working in shifts, Somogyi said.
