I know that a general online ordering system still wouldn't fit into their program considering the whole reason they sell cookies is more about what the girls learn from it and less about the money, however perhaps you could reach out to some councils from your US home area and suggest to them that some troops could reach out to military folks abroad that aren't necessarily in war-zones. I bet it's just for lack of contact people that troops don't do it. Hmm, perhaps this is something they could address.

Americans abroad have no way to get cookies. That includes ALL the military in Korea, Germany, Iraq, Afghanistan, and every other non-US base. It includes every State Department worker, from Addis Ababa to Zurich. We all love buying little touches of home and have US mail access. Yet Girl Scouts ignore us all. Yes, some troops buy cookies and send them to the military in the war zones. But who's taking care of those abroad outside of war zones? Why not the Girl Scouts? I'd think it'd be AWESOME for us to have online ordering capabilities. We have no neighborhood grocery store to go to, no other way to order but online. We include families and singles, foxholes and mansions. And we want cookies! I am in Montevideo, Uruguay. How do I get cookies and support an organization I was part of for ten years?
