Girl scout cookies are now available on Amazon but consumers are being advised not to buy them from the site. The Girl Scouts of the USA are concerned that the cookies may be old or inauthentic. A rep from the company told Huff Post, "Girl Scouts USA, your local Girl Scout council, and our license cookie bakers cannot guarantee the freshness or integrity or these cookies. In many instances, these cookies are actually expired." Another reason is that buying the cookies on Amazon defeats the whole purpose of Girl Scout cookies. The girls sell the cookies to help them build "essential life skills, such as goal setting, people skills and business ethics." A spokesperson for the Girl Scouts of the USA said, "Buying the cookies through Amazon is giving people access to cookies without access to Girl Scouts, which undercuts the programmatic element."
