Any registered girl can participate in the Cookie Program, even if
she is not aligned with a troop. There are many different
ways that individually registered girls can participate. Some groups are
registered as a Pathway and have a registered adult in charge; some
individually registered girls want to participate in the Cookie Program to help
pay for their camp experience; etc. Since there are so many different Pathway
options, Pathway groups will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
For Individually Registered Girls
Service Unit Cookie Managers will be responsible for individually
registered girls participating (that did not align themselves with a troop);
making sure they are trained, collecting parent permission slips, orders and
payments and distributing product and incentives.
For Pathway Groups
The process for Pathway
groups will be dealt with individually. Several factors will apply to how the
process will be handled. Is there a registered adult within the group; is there
a bank account linked to the group; are they seasonal and how frequently do
they meet; etc. Please contact Brittan Davis at brittan.davis@girlscoutshs.org
or 731-215-6123 to determine the best way for these girls to participate.
eBudde
For orders to be placed in
the eBudde, individually registered girls must be assigned a “troop”
number.
A specific Pathway number
has been assigned for each SU to place orders in the eBudde system.
All
individually registered girls’ orders will be placed under this “dummy” number
so that her orders arrive with the rest of the SU’s delivery. This number has
no meaning outside of the Cookie Program; it is only to process their order
through eBudde. This number is simply 99 in front of the SU number (example: 99111
for A.B. Hill and 99310 for Yalobusha.)
If there is a pathway group as well as
other individual girls selling within the same SU, please contact Brittan Davis
to obtain a separate number.
