An online-ordering problem involving Girl Scouts products in Denver remains under investigation, but officials say the system is partially back up and running.
Girl Scouts of Colorado hired Coalfire, an online security and regulatory-compliance firm, to help sort out what happened, spokeswoman Rachelle Trujillo said.
Scout officials still are recommending that anyone who ordered products with a credit card over the past few months contact their bank for possible changing of their cards as a precaution.
Last week, Girl Scouts officials shut down online ordering as well as credit-card purchases at their shop on South Broadway in Denver after about 15 troop leaders found unexplained expenses on their credit-card reports.
The problems may be related to the merger in October of five Girl Scouts councils into one, Trujillo said.
The councils merged into Girls Scouts of Colorado, but “some of our legacy council websites were still operating,” she said.
On Thursday, she said, purchasing on those sites was shut down, leaving as the sole site for online purchases, she said.
Credits cards were used to buy Scout products such as merit badges, handbooks and uniforms — not cookies, which usually are paid for in cash, officials said.
Updates on the problem are to be posted at .
