The Girl Scout Cookie Program toggle arrow

Thank you for volunteering to serve as a Service Unit Cookie Coordinator. Your efforts are extremely important to the success of the Girl Scout Cookie Program!

Our council offers this program to increase opportunities for girls. Proceeds generated from this program create funds for troops and service units, provide services for girls and develop quality training for adults. Without you, this would not be possible.

The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps girls develop 5 key skills:

GOAL SETTING - as she sets cookie goals and makes a plan to reach them
DECISION MAKING - as she decides how her troop will spend the cookie money
MONEY MANAGEMENT - as she takes orders and handles customers’ money
PEOPLE SKILLS - as she learns to talk and listen to all kinds of people while selling cookies
BUSINESS ETHICS - as she is honest and responsible every step of the way

The Number One Reason People Buy Girl Scout Cookies is to Support Girl Scouting!

All of the proceeds – every penny – from the Girl Scout Cookie Program are used to benefit girls within our local council. This revenue is used to fund major council initiatives like supporting and building membership, creating and sustaining innovative girl programming, maintaining and improving camp properties, providing volunteer training and offering a platform that allows troops’ funding for trips, activities and community service projects.

By purchasing Girl Scout Cookies, you directly support the Girl Scout Leadership Experience for girls in your community!

Service Unit Tips & Training Points toggle arrow

Prior to Training toggle arrow

Secure a date, time, location or virtual option for your training. Make sure all Troop Cookie Managers are aware of your dates and times in advance. Send invitations, emails or make phone calls.

If troops are unable to attend the training you provide, the council offers two Zoom training dates. See calendar for details.

Review dates (set service unit dates if needed). Service Units can set an earlier date for troops to submit orders. Set a realistic deadline for orders to be turned in. Troops should be given the opportunity to take orders for the entire time of the program.

Download training PowerPoint from Cookie Resources and make changes if necessary.

Tips & Key Points for Training toggle arrow

Be enthusiastic and make it fun! Have icebreaker games or cookie-related trivia questions.

Girls and troops must be registered for the 2025-2026 membership year before they receive their troop cookie packets.

Explain the importance of the Cookie Program:

For girls – it’s a program activity that teaches girls life skills such as goal setting, planning, organizational skills, and teamwork
For troops – the chance to earn funds for activities
For council – the opportunity to continue the quality programs, activities, and services currently being offered as well as those planned for the future

Girls and their families must always decide whether or not to participate. Leaders do not make that decision for them.

Encourage leaders to appoint caregivers to help as Troop Cookie Managers: this helps take the pressure off the leaders and keeps caregivers involved.

Explain the importance of troops and girls discussing and setting goals.

An easy way to do this is to utilize the Cookie Program materials provided by Little Brownie.
More activities and additional resources can be found on the Little Brownie Bakers website at www.littlebrownie.com.

Encourage everyone to visit the Volunteer Cookie Resources page on the council website and the Cookie Resources Google Site.

Distribute and review all materials.

Give your contact information and let troops know they can always call you for help.

Troop Cookie Manager Agreement and Policies toggle arrow

Use the Troop Cookie Manager Agreement & Policies (obtained at your troop training) to set up each troop in eBudde.

You must have a signed form before troops can participate.
Review the Product Program Forms spreadsheet for a list of those forms already on file with the council.

Automated Clearing House (ACH) toggle arrow

Explain that payment via ACH is mandatory.
Review the Product Program Forms spreadsheet for a list of those forms already on file with the council.

Financial Reports & Bank Statements toggle arrow

Troops must submit a financial report and bank statements through the Volunteer Toolkit (VTK) prior to September 30 of the previous year to participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. If you have troops that have not done so, direct troop leaders to submit their financial report and bank statements at this link.

Two Fully Screened Volunteers toggle arrow

Troops must have two registered adult volunteers, with completed background checks, with two co-leaders listed in the MyGS community.

Permission Forms toggle arrow

Troops must collect a Caregiver Permission and Responsibility Form for each girl before she is allowed to participate.

Troops keep forms on record until all payments have been made to the council at the end of the program.
If permission forms for Fall Product had the approval for cookies, troops can use the same permission form.

All Cookie Varieties are $6:

Review Selling Cookies Safely toggle arrow

Whatever approach troops decide to take this Girl Scout Cookie Season, we’ve provided tools to equip volunteers to be flexible in a range of environments. You can find Girl Scouts® safety materials and resources in the Safety Activity Checkpoints and additional information at www.girlscoutcookies.org/troopleaders and the Cookie Resources Google Site.

Rewards

Troops can collect girls’ reward choices on the Girl Initial Order Summary.

Have girls make a selection on all levels, in case she increases her orders from additional contacts and/or booths.
Suggest that troops select a specific item at each level with a choice as their default item.
If a girl doesn’t submit a choice, then she will get the default item.
This will help prevent a delay in submitting orders because of reward choices.

After initial orders are submitted, girls can continue selling using their Goal Getter Order Card and Digital Cookies.

All rewards are cumulative.

Troop Proceeds toggle arrow

Troop proceeds are not to be divided by girl.

Troop Proceeds are based on the Troop’s Per Girl Average of girls participating. Explain requirements for the Extra Proceeds Option.

See Product Program Proceeds Standards for further information.

Extra Proceeds Option toggle arrow

Cadette, Senior and Ambassador troops can choose to earn $0.05 more per box instead of earning rewards. Girls within the troop choosing the extra proceeds option will only earn patches and charms (initial and additional orders). For every girl that reaches the 850+ box level, she will then begin accumulating rewards at each level she obtains thereafter. Troops that have chosen the extra proceeds only qualify for patches or charms offered at Troop PGA reward levels.

Troop-to-Troops toggle arrow

A Troop-to-Troops poster and box wrap can be downloaded online.

Discuss the difference between virtual and non-virtual Troop-to-Troops cookies.

Virtual Troop-to-Troops Cookies toggle arrow

Troops do not receive these cookies in hand.
Virtual donated cookies are placed in the T2T column on eBudde.
Virtual T2T boxes can be added to eBudde at any time during the program.
Troops cannot specify variety of virtual cookies.
If cookies are placed in this column, the council will fill orders from council inventory or obtain additional cookies from the bakery. These cookies will be shipped directly to the council’s Troop-to-Troop recipients.
Any boxes placed in the T2T column will add to the amount owed to the council.
Troops will be responsible for payment of any cookies placed in the T2T column.
ONLY VIRTUAL TROOP-TO-TROOPS COOKIES WILL COUNT TOWARDS TROOP-TO-TROOPS PATCH AND REWARD QUALIFICATIONS.

Non-Virtual Troop-to-Troops Cookies toggle arrow

Troops will receive these cookies.

DO NOT ENTER THESE IN THE T2T COLUMN ON EBUDDE.
These cookies are placed in either the GOC column or as additional cookies.
These are cookies sold at booths and/ or additional orders for the Troop-to- Troops Program.
These donations will need to be brought to the council by April 2 to be sent with the virtual cookies in this program.
Troops can use their “extra” inventory at the end of the program to fill their Troop-to-Troops (nonvirtual) cookie orders by April 2.

Gift of Caring toggle arrow

Troops can choose their own Gift of Caring (GOC) recipient.

DO NOT ENTER THESE IN THE T2T COLUMN ON EBUDDE.
Place in the GOC column in eBudde.
GOC donations are not considered virtual cookies.
At the end of the program, troops can use their remaining inventory or get additional cookies from cupboards to fill their Gift of Caring needs.
Email pictures to the Council of your troop delivering cookies to your recipient with a brief description to news@girlscoutshs.org.

DONATED COOKIES

All 2026 Girl Scout Cookies will expire on September 1, 2026. To ensure the quality and integrity of the Girl Scout Cookie Program, DO NOT donate any remaining cookies after this date.

Delivery / Count-n-Go toggle arrow

Explain your Service Unit delivery or the Count-N-Go process and what to expect; also what is expected from troops.

Cookie Cupboards toggle arrow

Volunteers picking up cookies from cupboards should download the eBudde app to their mobile device.

Volunteers are to submit their Cookie Cupboard orders digitally through the eBudde website or app. Most cupboards use the eBudde app to capture electronic signatures for cupboard transactions.

Refer to the Cookie Cupboard listing in the Cookie Resources folder to see how far in advance orders must be entered for pick-up.

Orders entered into eBudde are not guaranteed to be available, but the council makes every effort to fulfill every order. Entering orders in eBudde will help Cookie Cupboards better manage their inventory.

Only Troop Cookie Managers are automatically approved to pick up cookies from a cupboard. If they need someone else to pick up cookies, the TCM must approve this through the cupboard.

Discuss cupboard guidelines and policies. It is very important to follow these guidelines and dates so the council can accurately stock cupboards.

ORDER AND PICK UP YOUR COOKIES FROM THE SAME CUPBOARD LOCATION. This helps to properly manage cupboard inventory.

Orders from the cupboards can be either full cases or comprised of mixed varieties equaling 12 boxes.

BOXES/CASES OF COOKIES CANNOT BE RETURNED AT ANY TIME.

Payment & Collection toggle arrow

STRESS THE USE OF RECEIPTS FOR ALL TRANSACTIONS, BOTH MONEY AND PRODUCT.

Discuss the impact that girl participation and outstanding balances have on the service unit proceeds. If they have a caregiver with an outstanding balance, it affects the entire service unit.

Council, Service Units and Troops reserve the right to require payment up front for product. *See Product Program Agreement and Policies.

It is at the Troop Cookie Manager/Leader’s discretion whether the troop will accept personal checks or not. Troops will be responsible for any returned check fees.

BE CAUTIOUS when using alternative payment options such as Paypal, Venmo, Cashapp, etc. Certain transactions may have fees associated and some apps may issue a 1099 if specific amounts are exceeded.

Deposit payments into troop account frequently.

ACH Payment is mandatory and troop must follow the guidelines and deadlines outlined in the ACH instructions.

NO PROCEEDS ARE DEDUCTED FROM ACH #1 and ACH #2.

If an Outstanding Balance form is not submitted to the council by March 25, 2026, the Troop Cookie Manager will be responsible for the amount due.

If troops are having problems collecting money, have them contact you and remind them to document all correspondence.

If a caregiver has problems delivering cookies, they need to notify their troop immediately. If they wait until the program is over, there is no time to get cookies sold before money is due.

Cookie Booths toggle arrow

Encourage troops to discuss booth guidelines and etiquette with their troops at training. It is great to role play with the girls to help them understand how to behave and how not to behave at a booth.

Discuss potential booth locations in your area.

Remember, the Service Unit Cookie Coordinator will be setting up those booth locations and submitting them to the council for the eBudde Booth Scheduler.

Troops can seek approval for any noncouncil sponsored booths. They must receive approval from the manager of the location.

For these booths to be included in the Cookie Finder, which advertises booth locations to potential customers, they must submit the location, date and time in ebudde on the “My Sales” portion of the Booth Sales tab.

If troops have cookies remaining at the end of the program, they can still set up booths after the end date of the program. They must receive approval from the manager of the booth site.

Porch Delivery / Pick-Up toggle arrow

Through Digital Cookie, girls can sell online and deliver cookies (once approved by caregivers) to customers by leaving them on their porch.

Girls should always deliver with an adult, and confirm with the customer the delivery date and location where to leave the cookies.

Cookie "Lemonade" Stands toggle arrow

Encourage families to set up lemonade-style stands in their driveways or entrance to their neighborhood. Consider doing this for evening commuters, or after-school crowds. Remember, never let a girl go up to a car, and make sure to have an adult with girls at all times.

Cookie Yard Signs toggle arrow

Host a drive-by cookie booth in your driveway or neighborhood park. Put out cookie signs at major intersections to let customers know how to find you. This is a great idea to host on a Saturday morning.

Make cookie signs with your Digital Cookie URL or QR code for drivers to order cookies on the go.

Walkabouts toggle arrow

Get out in your neighborhood with cookies to increase your orders! With cookies in hand, girls can take contactless payment in the Digital Cookie app.

If people aren't home, consider leaving a door hanger order card with your Digital Cookie URL, or QR code for customers to order.

Create a Cookie Mobile toggle arrow

Families can have a lot of fun decorating their cars to let customers know they have cookies. Use car magnets, car chalk or even removable vinyl and get creative.

Don’t forget to put your Digital Cookie URL or QR code somewhere for customers to order online.

Drive-Thru or Curbside Cookie Booths toggle arrow

Perfect for popular parking lots, drive-thru cookie booths give customers the ease of purchasing cookies without leaving their cars! This open-air idea gives girls the opportunity to sell cookies and take contactless payment through the Digital Cookie app. Make sure to discuss safety guidelines and never let a girl approach a car.

Too Many Cookies...DON'T WAIT! toggle arrow

Inform troops that if they discover that they have over-ordered product, they should not wait to notify you or the council. If troops wait until the end of the program, below are some opportunities to help troops clear up their remaining inventory.

Utilize the Cookie Exchange tab in eBudde to inform other troops that you have cookies.
Facebook Cookie Swap Group! A place for Girl Scout Cookie volunteers to swap extras cookies, search for needed cookies and to connect with other Girl Scout Cookie volunteers! Request to join today at www.facebook.com/groups/GSHSCookieSwap.
Encourage your girls to set a higher goal (booth and additional orders, door-to-door, etc.).
Set up additional booths to sell the inventory. Troops can even set up booths after the “end date” of the program (with the permission of the store managers).
Notify cupboards in your area of your extra product.
Contact other troops in your area to see if they need extra product or would be willing to swap inventory.

As with other cookie transfers between troops, proper documentation is required (i.e. signed receipts and eBudde entry by the troop transferring cookies out.)

eBudde

Online ordering is mandatory at all levels of the program. Access will be set up by the Service Unit Cookie Coordinator. http://ebudde.littlebrownie.com

All users will recieve a volunteer email from eBudde with a link to reset their password.

If no email is received, go to http://ebudde.littlebrownie.com and enter your email address. Click forgot password to resend the email.

Discuss eBudde trainings offered. Find a complete list on this webpage under the Training tab.

Troops have the ability to email girls/caregivers from eBudde on the Contacts tab. NOTE: Emails sent will come from a “no reply” email address.

Enter cookie and reward orders BY GIRL into eBudde.

ALL ORDERS ARE ENTERED INTO EBUDDE AS BOXES, NOT CASES.

TROOP INITIAL ORDER WILL BE ROUNDED UP TO FULL CASES.
All cupboard transactions and transfers between troops MUST be in multiples of 12. Although the eBudde app allows users to input orders that are NOT in multiples of 12, troops are required to do so and will have to amend their orders to a multiple of 12 for pickup at a cupboard if they have entered anything less.

Digital Cookie toggle arrow

Encourage troops to utilize Digital Cookie. This year girls are able to share links with family and friends starting on Wednesday, December 17.

Digital Cookie orders placed for girl delivery prior to initial order deadlines will be automatically tallied on the Initial Order tab in eBudde and will arrive with the troop order at delivery.

Stay in Touch toggle arrow

Watch your email inbox for messages from the council. Check the dashboard on eBudde for messages and updates from the council.

Another great resource is socialmedia.

Troop Proceeds toggle arrow

Troop Proceeds

With Rewards
Daisy Brownie, and Junior troops MUST take this option.

Troop PGA Proceeds Per Case

1-399 $9.60

400-799 $10.32

800+ $11.04

Super Troop Additional $.60*

Without Rewards - Extra Proceeds Option (EPO) or Opt-Out
Cadette, Senior and Ambassador troops may choose with or without rewards.

Troop PGA Proceeds Per Case

1-399 $10.20

400-799 $10.92

800+ $11.64

Super Troop Additional $.60*

Troop proceeds are based on the Per Girl Average, which is the average number of boxes participating girls sell in your troop.

How to determine Troop Per Girl Average (PGA):

Divide the number of boxes sold by the number of girls participating in cookies for your troop.

Example: 1,200 boxes sold ÷ 10 girls participating = 120 PGA

eBudde will automatically calculate your Troop PGA on the Sales Report tab.

These rules apply to the Without rewards - Extra Proceeds Option (EPO) or Opt-Out option:

Girls within troops choosing the EPO will only earn patches, and charms, offered on the initial order. They will not be eligible for t-shirts, sweatshirts or other rewards offered on the initial order.
Girls within troops choosing the EPO will only earn patches and charms for additional/booth orders. For each girl that reaches the 850+ box level, she will then begin accumulating rewards at each level she obtains thereafter.
EPO troops only qualify for patches and charms offered at Troop PGA reward levels.
The troop must be registered with the council as a Cadette, Senior or Ambassador troop.
The choice made is for the entire troop. GIRLS, not adults, must make the troop’s choice.
EPO option MUST be marked in eBudde on the settings tab PRIOR to entering girls’ initial orders. No changes will be made after initial order is submitted.

* Super Troop proceeds will be paid to troops in early August via ACH after qualifications have been met. View Super Troop qualifications.

Service Unit Proceeds toggle arrow

Service Unit Proceeds

Service Units have the potential to receive a total of $0.04 per box ordered within their SU if they have no outstanding debts.

Service Unit (SU) Proceeds

$.02 Service Unit Proceeds

+$.01 5% SU Initial Order Increase & No Debt

+$.01 3% SU Final Total Increase & No Debt

$.04 Potential Service Unit Proceeds

The council does not encourage troops to cover a caregiver’s debt to ensure the proceeds bonus for the Service Unit. If a troop remits payment for a caregiver’s outstanding balance, then the troop is responsible for collection of this debt.

NOTE:
Service Unit proceeds will be held until all unregistered girls participating in the Cookie Program are registered for the current membership year, all troops have at least two fully screened and approved volunteers, and Service Unit ACH form, budget, financial report and bank statements are submitted.

Individually Registered Girls toggle arrow

Any registered girl can participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, even if she is not participating in a traditional troop.

For Individually Registered Girls (IRG)

Service Unit Cookie Coordinators will be responsible for IRGs participating (that did not combine with a troop for the program); making sure they are trained, collecting caregiver permission forms, orders and payments, entering orders and rewards in eBudde, allocating additional boxes in eBudde, and distributing product and rewards.

Some troops may allow an IRG to combine with their troop for the Cookie Program. The Troop Cookie Manager/Leader will be responsible for making sure she is trained, collecting caregiver permission forms, orders and payments, entering orders and rewards in eBudde and distributing product and rewards. Troops can also invite IRGs to participate in booths.

eBudde

For orders to be placed in eBudde, IRGs are assigned a “troop” number. A specific number has been assigned for each SU to place orders in the eBudde system.

All IRGs’ orders will be placed under this number so that their orders arrive with the rest of the SU’s delivery. This number is simply 99 in front of the SU number (example: 99423 for TN West Central, 99245 for Clay, etc.)

If there is a group as well as other IRGs within the same SU, please call 800.624.4185 or email info@girlscoutshs.org, to obtain a separate number.

IRG Proceeds/Rewards

Individually registered girls that participate separately (did not select a troop for the program) will receive “Passport Bucks” at the rate of $20 for every 50 boxes sold.

Passport Bucks may be used for annual GSUSA membership dues, council-sponsored program activity fees, resident camp registration fees, resident camp trading post, and to purchase items in the council shop; may not be cashed for “real money” and cash will not be given as change; has no value outside of Girl Scouts Heart of the South; expires 9/4/2026.

Passport Bucks will only be issued if balance is paid in full.

Please Note: IRG troops follow the same rules in eBudde as traditional troops. Therefore, the total IRG troop order will be rounded to solid cases.

SELECT DELIVERY INFORMATION IN eBUDDE FOR
COOKIE COUNT-N-GO PICKUP:

After submitting the Troop Initial Cookie order in eBudde, Troops will be reminded to go to the Delivery tab to select their delivery date and time.
Go to the Delivery tab and choose the Count-N-Go delivery date desired from the drop down menu.
Then click on the desired time slot.
Available slots will be white; unavailable slots will be gray.
If troops are attempting to sign up for time slots and there are no available spots, contact info@girlscoutshs.org or 800.624.4185.
Troops that have over 200 cases in their initial order will be required to select two or more simultaneous time slots.
Troops in the Greater Memphis Area that have over 400 cases in their initial order will be required to select multiple simultaneous time slots. Council will contact eligible troops AFTER they have entered their order, and selected their pick up slots and be given the opportunity to select an earlier pick up time between Monday-Thursday. The council will update eBudde with the new pick up information.
Click the “Submit my Info” button at the top left. The delivery information will not be saved unless it is submitted.
Prior to their pick-up date (but after 2/2/26), troops will need to print the delivery confirmation from the delivery tab in eBudde to take with them to delivery. This will recap the order in cases, by variety, delivery date/time and also tell an estimate of how many vehicles to bring.

If combining multiple troop orders for pickup (no more than three troops at one time), follow these instructions:

Submit cookie order for Troop A on the Initial Order tab. On the delivery tab, select “Some other troop (or my SU)” and submit.
Submit cookie order for Troop B on the Initial Order tab. On the delivery tab, select “Some other troop (or my SU)” and submit.
On Troop C, submit cookie order on the Initial Order tab. On the Delivery tab, select “Someone from my troop”. When asked if you will be picking up for more than one troop, select “yes,” and enter the troop numbers into the fields provided. This will combine all troop orders for a total pickup case count.
Choose the Count-N-Go delivery date desired from the drop down menu.
Then click on the desired time slot and submit.

COUNT-N-GO DAY OF PROCESS:

Count-N-Go is for troop initial orders only, not individual girls.
Troops need to bring or have access to their Troop Delivery Confirmation that includes a unique Troop Code and phone number for pick-up. These are available to print beginning February 2, 2026.
Troops will need to arrive at their scheduled time with all vehicles needed for pick-up. Troops will not be allowed to begin pick-up process until all vehicles have arrived at the site and are lined up together. Council staff will be stationed outside the site entrance to help facilitate this process and will direct your party to the Check-In station when your group is all present and ready.
Troops will stop at the Check-In station to receive further instructions.
One troop member will text their Troop Code from the Delivery Confirmation to 225-398-3281. They will receive a confirmation back stating they have been checked in.
At the Check-In station, troops will receive their initial order rewards.
They will then be directed to a pick-up line.
A council representative will follow them through the pick-up process and assist with counting.
Cookies will be set up in an “assembly line” style with one or two varieties of cookies at each station. Troops will count the cases as they are being loaded by variety into their vehicles. Cars will move through the line to receive all cases ordered of each variety at each station.
Once all cookies are loaded, the council representative will release the cookies in eBudde to the troop.
The troop will receive a text stating their cookies have been released. To confirm their pickup, they’ll respond via text with 1 and for additional help respond back with 2.
- If they replied with a 1 to confirm pick up, this will also trigger a confirmation email to the troop.
- If they replied with a 2, they will stay with their council representative to discuss issues with their count. There will be a recount station if quantities are questioned. Troops will need to move out of the line, unload, count and reload their own cookies.

COUNT-N-GO DAY OF TIPS:

Girl orders are not separated into individual vehicles.
Have all vehicles cleaned out with minimal passengers.
Delivery agents will be loading the cookies. You do not need extra people to do this.
Pay close attention during the loading process. The loaders load fast. Be aware of what is being loaded into your vehicle and make sure you get an accurate count before moving to the next station.
For orders requiring multiple vehicles:
- Have all vehicles needed for pick up arrive together.
- Bring an extra person to be the designated “counter” so they do not have to get in and out of the vehicle as they are moving in the line.
- The first vehicle will be filled to capacity before loading any subsequent vehicles.

SERVICE UNIT DELIVERY

Your Service Unit Cookie Coordinator will contact you to pick up the troop/girls’ cookie orders between February 9-12 and rewards in May.

Bring a copy of your Delivery Confirmation when picking up product.
Count and recount the items before signing for them.
When dispersing items to girls, have each caregiver count and sign for their orders.

As Service Unit Cookie Coordinator,

one of your responsibilities is to secure a convenient, suitable location for receiving, sorting and disbursing your cases of Girl Scout Cookies. If your Service Unit is participating in the Count-N-Go, the council will take care of this process.

Don’t wait until the last minute!
Planning early helps you select and secure the best possible location for your troops and delivery agent. The people donating their space and time appreciate advance notice so they can plan accordingly.

Check with the prior SUCC or Service Unit Manager in your area. Ask long-time community people for recommendations.

What makes a good delivery site?
Streets and parking area must be wide/ long enough for a large delivery truck to maneuver without backing into yards or off driveways and have no low hanging trees or power/phone lines.

Not all delivery sites will require the use of a tractor-trailer. The delivery truck and Troop Cookie Managers need to be able to get close to the entry door for loading and unloading.

A location which has a forklift on the premises will make your job easier.

The space should be large enough to accommodate all cookies (possibly in pallets) and still have enough room to separate cookies by troops.

Look for a location where Troop Cookie Managers can drive close to an access door rather than having to maneuver up and down stairs or through a maze of hallways.

The location must be water tight and insect free.

Excellent delivery site locations are fire stations, National Guard Armories, schools, churches, etc. Try to choose a location that is easily found and centrally located in your service unit.

Think quantity: An average two-car garage (20x22 feet) will hold approximately 1,000 cases. To prevent toppling over, stack straight and only 6 feet high. Consider that each case averages approximately 9 pounds and the weight of 1,000 cases requires a GOOD FLOOR!

Helpful Hints:

Remember to schedule plenty of help for unloading and separating cookies.
Notify troops promptly about the delivery date and their pick-up time.
Count and recount and obtain an electronic signature or signature from the Troop Cookie Manager before they leave with product.
After delivery day, write a thank you note to the manager of the facility!

Emergency Procedures toggle arrow

Adhere to All Safety Activity Checkpoints

Please keep a copy of these guidelines and the Accident/Incident Report with you in your first aid kit at all Girl Scout activities.

In the event of a serious accident, emergency or fatality please follow the following council emergency procedures:

Provide First Aid to the injured person. Dial 9-1-1 if emergency assistance is needed.
Keep a responsible person at the scene at all times.
Keep the girls calm and occupied.
Notify the Council Crisis Team at 800.624.4185 or after hours at 901.463.2999.
Call your troop’s emergency contact person to let the caregiver know there is a delay. Have it planned in advance what the person will say.
In the event of a fatality, see that no disturbance of the victim or surroundings is permitted until police arrive.
Do not surrender permission forms or medical records. Keep your copies.
Refer all media (press, radio, TV) inquiries to the Council. Do not make any statements or release names to anyone.
File an Accident/Incident Report and refer all insurance questions to Council personnel.

Please Remember:

Only Council-designated spokespersons (Council Crisis Team) are authorized to speak on behalf of the Council. It is very important that communications are controlled to minimize risk. A good response is:
“I really don’t have all of the information you are looking for. You need to speak with someone from our communications team.”

Feel free to give them the office phone number: 800.624.4185.

In addition to reporting emergencies and serious injuries occurring during a Girl Scout activity or on Girl Scout property to the Council Crisis Team, you are asked to report any situation or potential situation that poses a threat to the Girl Scout name and/or impairs the Council’s ability to operate effectively.

The Council Crisis Team appreciates it when it has time to Be Prepared.

An Accident/Incident Report should be completed for any accident, illness or inappropriate behavior that occurs on the site or during a program event. It is used to supplement insurance information and to notify the council of an incident while awaiting insurance forms and doctor’s statements.

This report should be completed and submitted to the council office within 24 hours following the incident. You may call the council and file an initial report by phone at 800.624.4185. A copy will then be mailed for your signature.

A leader, activity planner or caregiver may fill in sections of the form that relate to their actions. On-site First Aider and Program Director should complete separate forms.

Incident report forms can be subpoenaed for legal evidence, so information should relate only to the known facts.

Program Overview toggle arrow

Thank you for volunteering to serve as a Troop Cookie Manager. Your efforts are extremely important to the success of the Girl Scout Cookie Program!

Our Girl Scout Cookie Program is much more than a fundraiser. It’s a fun way for girls of all ages to earn money that fuels their dreams and it’s a powerful, hands-on leadership and entrepreneurial program.

The countless, exciting possibilities — from new business opportunities, to a healthier planet, to a more beautiful world — begin with the skills girls learn and the action they take today. Girls will learn firsthand the ins and outs of running their own cookie business, even “branding” their enterprise for maximum impact.

Everything girls do in Girl Scouting is designed to help them become leaders in their daily lives and prepare for their bright futures!

The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps girls develop 5 key skills:

GOAL SETTING - as she sets cookie goals and makes a plan to reach them
DECISION MAKING - as she decides how her troop will spend the cookie money
MONEY MANAGEMENT - as she takes orders and handles customers’ money
PEOPLE SKILLS - as she learns to talk and listen to all kinds of people while selling cookies
BUSINESS ETHICS - as she is honest and responsible every step of the way

The Number One Reason People Buy Girl Scout Cookies is to Support Girl Scouting!

By purchasing Girl Scout Cookies, you directly support the Girl Scout Leadership Experience for girls in your community!
