GSCCC Retail Shops Move to Online-Only on December 23!



GSCCC Retail Shops Move to Online-Only

Beginning December 23, 2016
GSCCC Online Fall Catalog


After a multi-year review of the dollars and cents it takes GSCCC to operate our brick-and-mortar retail shops, the conclusion is that it makes much more sense to move all shopping online, effectively allowing the council to use resources wisely and discontinue the annual losses for that operation. 



Since 2012, our customers are showing a significant increase in online shopping due to 24/7 access, mobile device usage and direct-delivery convenience among other benefits.

Moving to an all online shopping experience for Girl Scout basics and merchandise falls right in line with Digital Cookie, the council's new mobile-friendly website, and the new online Volunteer Toolkit coming in January - making it easier for you to volunteer your time and serve girls.
