Hello Girl Scout Family,
Now that the Initial Order has been submitted, you will soon have cookies in hand. Work with your cookie manager for information on when and how you will receive cookies. Families are always encouraged to work with their troop and offer support if the troop needs additional assistance with picking up or distributing cookies to Girl Scouts.

Girl Delivery
|
Girls are encouraged to continue taking Girl Delivery orders as part of their sales efforts. To ensure all orders are fulfilled efficiently, any inventory required to accommodate these orders will need to be transferred to the individual girls. This can be done through the Transfer Order process.

|
Booths and Alternatives to Booths
|
Booth sales and alternatives to booths begin on February 21. If you would like to host a booth that has not been secured by your service unit, work with your cookie manager to enter the site as a Troop Secured Booth. These sites must be reviewed and approved by GSHCC before hosting the booth sale. Please review our Booth Sale Guidelines.
Remember that Lemonade Stands can only be hosted on personal, residential property. All booths hosted on commercial and/or public property must be entered and approved in Smart Cookies as Troop Secured Booths. Girls will use their own inventory, not troop inventory, they can take payment through their account instead of troop site.

|
Accepting Payments
|
Girls can now easily accept contactless credit card payments through the Digital Cookie app using a mobile device when selling at booths or during individual sales. With the recent updates to the app, girls can also accept payments through Venmo and PayPal, along with fewer required fields to streamline the process.
All payments made through Digital Cookie are credited directly to each girl and troop. When processing a payment, girls will simply need to select their role. If at a booth, select troop from the drop-down menu within the app.
For additional guidance, check out our Mobile App Tip Sheet to assist with setting up and processing mobile payments smoothly. This will help ensure a seamless experience for both girls and customers.

Cookie Share
|
Girl Scouts can continue accepting Cookie Share donations throughout the entire Cookie Program. Cookie Share donations are virtual, so troops do not manage physical donations. GSHCC makes all donations at the end of the cookie program to food banks, retirement homes, shelters, Blue Star moms, college food pantries and other local community focused organizations.
Through our Cookie Share Program last year, GSHCC was able to donate to 50 community organizations throughout our council. Impressive!
|
|
|
When a girl sells 15+ Cookie Share donations they will earn the Cookie Share patch. Sell 30+ Cookie Share donations to earn the theme key ring. Both Cookie Share rewards are available to all Girl Scouts, even if their troop is opting for the Older Girl Proceeds Plan.
