Recommendations for Cookie Payments While Maintaining Social Distance
With ongoing recommendations of social distancing, we understand troop co-leaders, cookie managers and parents’ concerns about troop gatherings. We hear your concerns and have compiled a list of ways that you can recommend parents make cookie payments in lieu of traditional in-person payments:
-
Digital Options
-
Bank Deposit Option
-
Drop Off Option
Whichever method is used by parents to send their cookie payments to the troop, the Troop Co-Leader or Troop Cookie Manager should write a receipt and text them a picture for their records.
Whether your troop is concluding their program on Sunday, March 22, or extending it until May 8, a cookie payment will be automatically withdrawn from troop bank accounts on April 6. The percentage withdrawn will be determined by the cookie program extended participation option you communicated to the council. Please work with parents to receive payments so that your troop account balances will satisfy the ACH withdrawal amounts.
The deadline to extend your Cookie Program is Monday, March 23 at noon. Select your option here, if you have not yet done so.
If you have additional questions, or need further guidance please call us at 800-624-4185, email us at info@girlscoutshs.org or chat with us online at www.girlscoutshs.org.

Cookie Planner
Help girls build the best cookie season ever with the new Built By Me cookie planner.
Built by Me is a new online tool made especially for volunteers that helps create a customized plan for cookie season. It’s as simple as taking a short quiz! Just choose from a menu of options that fit girls’ (and your) interests and schedules. The tool takes your answers and creates a special plan just for your group.
When you’re done, you can print or email the plan to yourself and use it as a blueprint to guide girls in making their own decisions—making it a truly girl-led experience.
