Smart Cookies and Digital Cookies
|
All troop cookie volunteers should have received an email to register for Smart Cookies. If your troop has not received this communication, please email Gretchen at cookies@girlscouts-gssi.org.
Girls are being uploaded into Smart Cookies as Annual Permission Forms are received. Please ask families to be on the lookout for their registration email for Digital Cookies.

Permission Forms
|
|
Girls cannot be uploaded to Smart Cookies until GSSI has received their Annual Permission Form. If you need to verify which girls in your troop have submitted their forms, please reach out to the Membership Specialist for your area:
|
|
|
When providing instructions for completing the Annual Permission Form, please ask families to copy and paste the link below to access the online form. If a sign-in page appears, it means we are experiencing a high volume of submissions, and they may need to try again in about an hour.

Empower Your Troop: Plan and Fund Unforgettable Adventures
|
Before your girls take part in all the cookie program fun, it’s important that they have a clear plan and purpose for their product program activities. As a volunteer, you have the opportunity to facilitate girl-led financial planning.
GSSI's new volunteer resource, Planning & Funding Your Troop Year, offers step-by-step instructions on helping girls select troop adventures, calculate costs, and set funding goals. This resource includes a budget planner for outlining annual troop expenses and estimating cookie program income.

Upcoming Service Unit Meetings
|
Service units (SUs) consist of Girl Scout members who live in the same city or county. SUs provide opportunities for volunteers to connect, share experiences, and build camaraderie through their shared commitment to the Girl Scout mission. Regardless of volunteer role, all volunteers are invited to attend SU meetings in their area! Learn more at About Girl Scout Service Units.

Important Financial Update for Troops
|
Please note that any checks issued by the council will expire 90 days from the date written on the check. Additionally, all troop accounts with German American will now receive direct deposits from the council instead of paper checks.
If your troop account is currently with a different financial institution and you wish to transfer to German American, please reach out to Membership Administrator Brittany Pringle at bpringle@girlscouts-gssi.org for assistance.
