Booths
|
Please review any special booth instructions in Smart Cookies by going to Troop Reservations, clicking the three dots next to a booth, and selecting Booth Details.
Cookie managers must ensure all participating girls and families understand the Booth Sale Guidelines. Troop-secured booths must be approved in Smart Cookies before hosting. All booth sales—including credit card sales—must be recorded using the Smart Booth Divider. Inventory will only be credited to girls when transferred as booth packages, ensuring proper sales credit and avoiding financial responsibility being assigned to girls.
Booth Sale Worksheet
Girls can accept contactless credit card payments at booths using the Digital Cookie app once the troop site is set up by the troop cookie manager. Payments are credited directly to the troop. Girls should select their troop from the drop-down menu when signing in. For help, refer to the Mobile App tip sheet.

Alternatives to Booths
|
|
Girl Scouts are still able to host Cookie Stands on personal property without prior approval, but they must follow all booth guidelines. Remind troops that booths and in-person selling are limited to council boundaries.
|
|
|
Cookie Cupboard
|
We’re in the final weeks of sales. Some Cupboards may close early based on Planned Orders, so troops should contact Cupboard managers before visiting for Unplanned Orders to confirm inventory and availability.
The GSHCC Modesto and Sacramento Cupboards are open Tuesday–Friday from 2–6pm and Saturday 9am–2pm and are accepting Unplanned Orders.
|
|
|
Girl Delivery
|
Girls should communicate delivery timelines, mark orders as delivered once completed, and use Troop to Girl transfers for inventory. Customers receive an email when orders are marked delivered. Orders can be edited or refunded at delivery. Online card payments must be completed by March 15.

Cookie Share

Girl Scouts may accept Cookie Share donations throughout the sale. Booth donations must be entered in the Smart Booth Divider to credit the troop/girls. Donations collected through other selling methods (excluding Donation Only via Digital Cookie) should be entered by the cookie manager in the Virtual Cookie Share tab.

Financials
|
Troops with returned ACH payments will be contacted by GSHCC and are responsible for NSF fees. Requests for a one-week ACH extension must be made at least three days in advance. Outstanding balances require a Cookie Collection Report by March 22; GSHCC will issue Smart Cookies credit and handle further collection directly.
