The GSHCC Mega Drops are officially over, and we want to thank all our wonderful volunteers how made the events a success. As your troop begins to prepare for booth sales, please be sure Girl Scouts in your troop are familiar with general booth guidelines as well as specific instructions that might apply at your scheduled booth locations. Remember to use our Troop Budget Worksheet to help your troop plan how many booth sales you will need to attend to successfully hit your troop’s goals for the year.

Starting as soon as January 27, Venmo is providing a $5 cashback offer to select Venmo consumers who spend $30 and checkout using Venmo on GSUSA’s Digital Cookie® website/app. Only Venmo consumers that received the offer, and who spend a minimum of $30 at checkout will qualify. The offer is not transferable. The offer is viable until 40,000 customers redeem the offer or until March 31, 2026, whichever is sooner. Digital Cookie and Booths Download the Digital Cookie Mobile App prior to starting booths sales to ensure you are familiar with the app. Troop sites must be activated first for Girl Scouts to see the troop option in the app when at a booth. Troop Site Link Smart Cookies and Booths Review special booth instructions in Smart Cookies under Troop Reservations -> Booth Details. Cookie managers must ensure families know booth guidelines, use the Booth Sale Worksheet and Smart Booth Divider, and confirm Troop Secured booths are approved before hosting. Booth Sale Guidelines Booth Sale Worksheet Cookie Drops Count all inventory from your Cookie Drop before distributing it to girls. Report damages, overages, or shortages using the Inventory Discrepancy Form. Troops must visit a local Cupboard within one week of opening to resolve their discrepancies. Important Note: Shortages and Overages are physical quantities received that do not match the inventory sheet you received at your Cookie Drop event. Selling Guidance Girls can continue their online marketing. Remind families that girl links should not be posted on re-sale sites or groups (Craigslist, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, NextDoor for Sale, etc.) Girls and troops are also reminded that in-person sales should only be conducted within GSHCC’s jurisdiction. Cupboards Cookie Cupboards open on February 20; hours and availability vary by location. Planned Orders (due Sundays at midnight) are prioritized over Unplanned Orders. Cupboards distribute full cases only; use Transfer Orders to receive individual packages from other troops. Eligible troops may use our Inventory Exchange from March 10–15 to swap full, unopened cases for other cases, though varieties may be limited. 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. Girls earn a Cookie Share patch at 15+ donations and a BFF Backpack Patch at 25+. Cookie Share rewards are available to girls on the Older Girl opt-out plan. Cookie Share Cookie Share Info Rewards and Experiences Don’t forget to create a Main Recognition Order and Troop Recognition Order. Troops will not receive reward items without creating these recognition orders in Smart Cookies. Work with families to find out what reward options girls choose for the levels with “or” options. Cookie Reward Experience information is listed on our website. And don’t forget that troops can still earn Troop Treasure. Troop Treasure PGA (per girl average) is based on girls selling. More information can be found on page 20 of your Troop Cookie Manager Guide and on the Reward Card on our website. Financials Troops without valid pre-authorization were contacted by GSHCC and cannot place Planned Orders until banking information is submitted. The first ACH withdrawal is March 5. Troops needing more time must contact Customer Care by March 2 to request a one-week extension, including the troop number and reason.
