Need More Cookies Check with your Troop Cookie Manager to see if and when
the troop will be getting more cookies and let them know if
you need more.
Follow the Rules All businesses have to follow
rules, including your Girl Scout’s cookie business. Review the
2020 Cookie Program Guidelines & Expectations at
gsnetx.org/cookies.
Social Media - NEW! All online sales efforts should always be led by the girl and supervised by parents and
guardians. Never post to resale, marketplace or garage sale sites
or groups and never post personal information.
Adhere to Deadlines It’s important to abide by your
TCM’s deadlines for orders, payments, and more! Don’t let
your Girl Scout miss out on important things, like rewards – be sure to follow all deadlines!
Let Your Girl Lead The Cookie Program is built
around the 5 Skills. It’s important to let your girl take the lead when talking with customers, handling
transactions and balancing money and inventory.
Troops earn proceeds of $0.67 for each package of cookies their girls sell. Depending on how the girls choose to participate and at what level they sell, the troop can earn additional proceeds on top of the $0.67 base proceeds. All proceeds become property of the troop, not individual girls, and can be used to fund troop activities, camping adventures, badges, troop shirts, meeting supplies, and more.
We value our booth sale partners and are grateful for their support. By granting our girls access to their valuable real estate and customers it is critical to show our appreciation and respect by following all booth guidelines. All guidelines and expectations can be found in the 2020 Guidelines & Expectations at gsnetx.org/cookies. Council organized booth partners include stores like Walmart, Kroger, Tom Thumb and more. Parents, caregivers & troops may not approach these stores under any circumstances to facilitate approval for booth sales. All sign ups for these sales are handled through the TCM in eBudde, the Cookie Program software.
Booth sales at other retailers, restaurants, etc., are called My Sales and must be approved by completing the My Sale Request Form and following the steps for approval. Parents, caregivers and troops may begin seeking approval for these sales on October 26, 2019. The My Sale must be entered in eBudde by the TCM and approved by the local Service Unit Cookie Program Coordinator.Violating booth guidelines can result in fines and the loss of booth approvals.
