Hello Cookie Manager,
The GSHCC Mega Drops are officially over and we want to thank all of our wonderful volunteers for helping to make these events successful. We know Girl Scouts are busy making their customer deliveries and prepping for booth sales that are beginning this weekend. Please be sure Girl Scouts in your troop are familiar with general booth guidelines as well as specific instructions that might apply at your scheduled booth locations.

Digital Cookie
|
GSUSA has reported that some users on the Digital Cookie mobile app have experienced an error message or maintenance page. If you are using the mobile app and experience this, please log out of the app and log back in to re-establish connectivity.
Tip: Download the Digital Cookie mobile app prior to starting booth sales to ensure you are familiar with the app. Troop sites must be activated first in order for Girl Scouts to see the troop option in the app when at a booth.

Cookie Drops
|
Remember to count all inventory received from your Cookie Drop location before distributing to girls. Inventory damages, overages and shortages must be resolved by contacting GSHCC Customer Care within 24 hours of your Cookie Drop event. You will receive an email to resolve discrepancies which must be printed and brought to a local Cupboard to resolve within one week of Cupboard opening day. Contact the Cupboard manager before your visit to ensure hours and inventory availability.
Important Note: Shortages and overages are physical quantities received that do not match the inventory sheet you received at your Cookie Drop event.

Booths and Alternatives to Booths
|
Girls can accept contactless credit card payments through the Digital Cookie app using a mobile device when selling at booths, but the troop site must be set up by the troop cookie manager first. These payments are credited directly to the troop. Since girls are selling troop inventory at booths, they will select their troop from the drop-down menu when signing in to Digital Cookie. For further assistance about mobile payments, please refer to page 7 of the Mobile App tip sheet.
Tip: Have a process in place in case a customer does not want to give their email address. Most troops choose to use a troop email address in these cases.
Please review any special booth instructions in Smart Cookies. This can be done by going to Troop Reservations, clicking the three dots next to a booth, and selecting Booth Details. Cookie managers are also responsible for ensuring participating girls and families are familiar with all booth guidelines. We strongly encourage using a Booth Sale Worksheet to track booth sales and the Smart Booth Divider to transfer sales. Troop Secured booths must be approved in Smart Cookies before a troop hosts the booth sale. All booth sales should be recorded using the Smart Booth Divider, including all credit card sales. Inventory will not be moved from the troop’s on hand inventory and credited to participants unless they are transferred as booth packages as in years prior.

Cookie Cupboard
|
Need additional inventory? Our Cookie Cupboards have been stocked to their maximum capacity. Remember to place a Planned Order as inventory is prioritized for these order types. Planned Order deadlines are Sundays at midnight and we recommend pick-ups for Friday or later to allow time for cookie delivery. Hours vary by Cupboard location. If you are not seeing specific dates or times listed, that means the Cupboard may not be operating at that time. Not all Cupboards will accept Unplanned Orders so we recommend contacting your local Cupboard Manager for availability information.
The GSHCC Sacramento and GSHCC Modesto Cupboards will only be accepting Planned Orders at this time.
Cupboards can only distribute full cases. If your troop needs individual packages, work with another troop to process a Troop to Troop (T2T) transfer. Check with your service unit cookie manager for information on how your service unit coordinates these.

Cookie Share
|
Girl Scouts can continue accepting Cookie Share donations throughout the sale. Donations accepted at booths should be entered in the Smart Booth Divider; they will not be automatically credited to the troop/girls unless this is done. Those accepted by girls via other selling methods, excluding Direct Ship, should be entered in the Virtual Cookie Share tab by the cookie manager. Girls who reach 15+ Cookie Share donations will earn a Cookie Share patch. Girls who sell 30+ will earn a boost bar. Girls who sell 50+ packages will earn a boost bar. These boost bars fit on the themed key ring. All Cookie Share rewards can be earned on the Older Girl opt-out plan.

Financials
|
Troops who do not have a cleared pre-authorization were contacted by GSHCC. These troops cannot place a Planned Order until valid banking information has been submitted. Our first ACH withdrawal will be processed on March 7. Troops who will not have funds available will need to contact Customer Care no later than March 4 in order to receive a one-week extension for their ACH withdrawal. Extension requests must include a troop number and the reason for the request.
