Thank you again for all the energy, enthusiasm, and dedication you brought to this year’s cookie program. Your efforts are making a meaningful impact for Girl Scouts across our community!

GSHCC 2026 Council Goal Achieved
We are thrilled to share that our council has met both tiers of our 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 $0.10 per package sold. 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.
Inventory and Program Wrap-Up
Review your Smart Cookies dashboard to wrap up your program. Check inventory, financials, and reward selections for accuracy. Negative inventory means more packages were transferred to girls than received—verify all transfer orders. Consider transferring all Troop on Hand Inventory to girls to maximize rewards, though it’s optional. This ensures a smooth, accurate program wrap-up. Remember to check for Troop Direct Ship orders that are pending distribution, if any, and transfer to participating girls.
Smart Cookies Action Items
Cookie Share
Verify Cookie Share donations from Girl Delivery orders after the Initial Order are entered as Virtual Cookie Share or in the Smart Booth Divider so girls receive credit.

New this year: Donation-only orders do not require transfer. Run the Digital Cookie report to total each girl’s digital Cookie Share donations, compare it to Smart Cookies, and enter any differences in the Virtual Cookie Share tab.

The Cookie Share Patch at 15+ package and the BFF Backpack patches at 25+ packages will show in the “Extras” section of the Main Recognition Order. All Cookie Share rewards can be earned on the Older Girl opt-out plan.
Rewards and Experiences
All troops must complete Main and Troop Recognition Orders to receive rewards—collect girls’ choices and sizes as needed.
Cookie Experiences | Reward Card

Early Reward T-Shirt: Due to the extra processing time for the custom t-shirt and to simplify distribution to troops, the Early Reward will be received in May alongside Main recognition items.

Troop Treasure: Earned with a minimum PGA of 250. Troops with outstanding balances are ineligible. A Troop Recognition Order is required to receive Troop Treasure, which will be issued virtually.
Financials
Troops must deposit funds in time for ACH withdrawals, even without a reminder email. For a one-week extension, contact GSHCC at least three days before withdrawal (include name, troop number, and reason). Returned ACH payments incur fees if no extension is requested and will appear on Troop Balance Summary Reports.

Verify girls have zero balances. For negative balances, ensure Transfer Orders are complete or refund customers—do not use troop proceeds. Submit a Cookie Collection Report if needed; GSHCC will credit your troop in Smart Cookies and handle families directly. Do not accept payments from families after submitting the report.
