Smart Cookies and Digital Cookie
|
|
Digital Cookie is the platform that girls will use to take Girl Scout Cookie orders, track purchases and deliveries, and establish a more direct digital connection with their most valuable customers, while Smart Cookies is the platform for volunteers. If troops users did not receive their Smart Cookies or Digital Cookie links, first ensure they meet eligibility requirements. If they do, have them check spam. Service unit and troop users can also resend registration links. Here are Tip Sheets to retrieve Smart Cookies registration links and Digital Cookie registration links.

New to Digital Cookie
|
|
The Digital Cookie team has been working diligently to enhance the Girl Scout and Troop Experience for this season. These enhancements were focused on stabilizing access to the database, data transfer between Digital Cookie and Smart Cookies, access to returning customers and the revision at checkout. BONUS! Venmo and PayPal have been added to the mobile app and required fields reduced. Check out 2025 Digital Cookie Experience for more information on these enhancements.

Initial Order
|
|
Remind troops to enter all orders in the Initial Order by January 27. As a service unit user, you will be able to enter or modify orders until January 28. Girl Delivery orders are automatically entered into the pre-sale column. Direct Ship orders should not be included. Cookie managers can Manage Orders in Digital Cookie to get a summary of all girl orders.
|
|
|
Please ensure that Early Recognition Orders are submitted by January 28, including those opting into the Older Girl Proceeds Plan. Remember, any girl who achieves an Initial Order of 195+ packages by the deadline will earn a special panda clear crossover bag!

Cookie Varieties
|
You can find our Cookie Allergen Information and Cookie Line-up online. Our five classic cookies remain on the cookie line-up, along with four delicious crowd-pleasers.
Gluten-Free
Gluten-Free cookies were pre-ordered in October and will be added to the troop's inventory after the Initial Order. The option to place Girl Delivery orders for them is currently turned off and will be enabled once the Initial Order is complete. A limited supply of Gluten-Free cookies will be available at Cookie Cupboards to supplement your on-hand inventory.

Toast-Yay!® is retiring... but we are still saying “yay!” because it means 2026 will bring a new Girl Scout Cookie! Use the 2025 season as a last-call push promotion opportunity.

Cookie Drops
|
Service units hosting a Mini Drop were contacted by the delivery agents directly with their confirmed delivery dates. The troop scheduler will be used for both of GSHCC Mega Drops. Troops will see available appointment times when entering their Initial Order. If your service unit attends a Mega Drop, your service unit is required to have at least ten volunteers at the event.

NEW! Cookie Boss Patch Program
|
|
Remind troops about our new Cookie Boss Patch Program. This program complete steps toward the cookie and financial literacy badges, and the GSHCC Rose Award. Participants will earn a Cookie Boss patch upon completing the program and submitting the form by March 19. Girls can register through our Activities page to complete the Cookie Boss packet.

|
|
Troop Inventory Exchange Pilot
|
|
GSHCC is piloting a new option for troops. This option will be available at select Cupboards only from March 11-16. Troops can exchange full, unopened cases of cookies for other varieties. Planned Orders will still have priority to available inventory; varieties available for exchange will vary by Cupboard. Inventory brought in for exchanges must be in sellable condition. Participating Cupboards are chosen by GSHCC, cannot be new Cupboards, and must have a history of maintaining accurate inventory.
|
|
|
Financials
|
|
An ACH Authorization Form is required if a troop did not participate in 2024 product programs. Troops who participated in the 2024 product programs should refrain from submitting the form unless banking information has changed as GSHCC will already have this information on file. An ACH pre-authorization will be processed on January 30. Troops who do not have a cleared pre-authorization will be contacted by GSHCC and will not be able to pick up cookies until the issue has been resolved.

We are going to have a great 2025 Girl Scout Cookie Program!
