Have a Thin Mints craving? Find your local Girl Scouts cookie booth and pay with your mobile

One of the small joys of winter is enjoying a Thin Mints cookie from the Girl Scouts with a cup of coffee or milk. This year they are celebrating 100 years and your mobile phone can help you get your cookie fix.

Last year Girl Scouts across the country started accepting credit card payments using a mobile phone attachment and service from Sage Mobile Payments and Intuit GoPayment to conduct sales transactions at your door or local store. Mobile payments are being used again this year, but we also now find Girl Scout locator apps so you can get your Thin Mints fix whenever you want.

The Girl Scout Cookie Locator app is available for both Apple iOS and Android devices. The application is designed to provide you with:

  • The ability to search for sales in your neighborhood using GPS or your ZIP code.
  • Get details on your favorite Girl Scout Cookies and discover recipes to make with them ?
  • Have fun and find your Cookie Personality and then share it on your favorite social network
  • Check in with Foursquare when you find and purchase cookies

I've been known to down a box of Thin Mints in a single seating and find it tough to resist Samoas. This is the 100th anniversary of the Girls Scouts and to celebrate they have a new Savannah Smiles cookie. Which cookie is your favorite?
