Girl Scouts cookie drive in Healdsburg this weekend

Troops backed by high tech apps and computer links are out in force in several neighborhoods.

Girl Scouts cookie-selling is now so high-tech, you can do almost everything but eat the treats via a computer link or a smartphone app.

Healdsburg and Sonoma County troops are selling cookies locally this weekend -- as they do every year.

However,  according to the Girl Scouts' website, this year is most decidedly high tech. For example, if  you don't want to wait until someone comes to your house, you can download a "Cookie Locator Mobile App" for your Smartphone by clicking here.
