COOKIE PROGRAM PREP  
It's time to start counting down the days until the 2015 Girl Scout Cookie Sale begins!

1. Contact your Cookie Sale Service Unit organizer or Product Sales staff member for details on when and where to pickup your troop's initial cookie order.

2. Get pumped for the Cookie Program at a COCO Command! Girls will learn how to set motivating goals and sell cookies online! Go to www.abcsmartcookies.com.

3. Encourage the girls in your troop to attend a Cookie Kickoff event near their community.

4. Make sure all members of your troop are registered with accurate information. The simplest way for you to check your troop roster is to log into your eBiz account. Follow these simple steps:

a. Click here to go to eBiz. 
b. Log in with your username and password. (If you have not yet created a username and password, choose ACTIVATE your account to get started).
c. Once you are logged in, the upper right-hand corner will display your name.
d. Click on Troop Management (accessible only to the Troop Leader). If you are a troop leader for more than one troop, ensure you are working in the correct troop by using the My Troops drop-down to the right of the page.  
e. View your troop members and use the Edit button to update information.
f. You can also email parents, print rosters, update girls' and parents' contact information, update troop meeting information, and print current year membership cards for girl and adult members.
