We are nearing the end of the 2026 Girl Scout Cookie Program! We want to ensure all troops wrap-up their sale successfully, so please remind troops in your service unit to adhere to all program deadlines. We are excited to see more girls at our cookie experiences this summer.

Council Goal Highlight
|
We are thrilled to share that our council has met the package goal! Thank you to all the amazing troops, volunteers, families, and girls who made this possible through your hard work and dedication. Every participating troop will receive an additional $0.05 per package sold. If we reach 102% of the goal (1.46M packages), troops will receive $0.10 per package sold instead of $0.05. Thank you again for all the energy and enthusiasm you’ve brought to this year’s cookie program. Your efforts are making a big impact!
Payment Details:
|
|
-
The additional proceeds will be issued through a separate ACH.
-
It will be processed after the final ACH has cleared at the end of the program.
-
Troops with outstanding balances will not qualify.

Cookie Cupboard
|
Check with cupboard managers before visiting to confirm available inventory. Troops are encouraged to use troop-to-troop transfers for small quantities.
Girl Scouts Heart of Central California cupboards in Sacramento and Modesto are accepting Unplanned Orders during open hours while supplies last (Tue–Fri 2–6 pm, Sat 9 am–12 pm).
Troop Inventory Exchange (March 10–15) allows exchanges of full, unopened, sellable cases (excluding the gluten free cookie)—no returns. Planned Orders have priority, and exchange varieties vary by cupboard. Participating cupboards include GSHCC Sacramento, GSHCC Modesto, Folsom, Mountain House, Merced, Penn Valley, Lodi, Woodland, and Sutter Creek.

Last Chance Booths
|
|
Last Chance Booth patches will be available for girls that participate in booths during the week of March 9-15. Only one patch per Girl Scout; the total patch request per troop cannot exceed the total number of girls in Smart Cookies. Request forms are due by March 18. Last Chance Booth Patch Request

Program Wrap-Up
|
As the 2026 cookie program ends March 15, ensure all sold inventory to girls (zero on-hand isn’t required but is recommended to maximize rewards). Submit Main and Troop Recognition Order by March 22 (Juliettes submit Main only). Troops without orders won’t receive rewards, and troops with unpaid balances will enter collections and won’t receive Troop Treasure (if earned). Deadlines are final; GSHCC cannot make financial or reward changes after March 23, when orders are sent to ABC Bakers.

Rewards
|
Troops must submit correct reward choices and sizes, as service units receive only the quantities listed in Smart Cookies. Caregivers should review experience dates before selecting rewards. Troop Treasure is earned with a minimum PGA of 250. Troops with an outstanding balance due are not eligible to earn or use Troop Treasure.

Reward Highlight
|
|
-
1,750+ packages: Earners can choose the NEX Playground System, an interactive, motion-based gaming experience with full-body, controller-free play, plus a watersport experience at Lodi Lake on May 2, 2026 (watersport not listed on the reward card).
|
|
|
|
Cookie Share
|
|
Cookie managers must enter all Cookie Share donations from Girl Delivery orders (after the Initial Order) in Virtual Cookie Share or the Smart Booth Divider so girls receive credit. Run the Digital Cookie report, compare totals to Smart Cookies, and enter any differences in the Virtual Cookie Share tab. New this year: Donation-only orders do not require a transfer.

|
Juliettes
|
|
Juliette families follow the same wrap-up process as troops. Juliette girls accepted card payments only and should have no balance due. Up to 24 unsold packages can be transferred if a Juliette Unsold Inventory Form is submitted by March 18—no exceptions. GSHCC will contact families with balances directly. Outstanding balances make girls ineligible for Pathway Credits, which will be sent at the end of May.
|
|
|
Financials
|
Troops needing an ACH extension must contact Girl Scouts Heart of Central California at least three days before withdrawal. Troops are responsible for returned ACH fees.
Before sales end, confirm girls have zero balances. Complete transfers or issue refunds for negative balances. Do not use troop proceeds to cover balances—submit a Cookie Collection Report instead. Once submitted, GSHCC credits the troop and collects from families. Reports require permission forms and will not be accepted after the deadline.
