Managing the Money
Troop Cookie Managers + Troop Leaders:

Now that your Girl Scouts are delivering cookies, you should be regularly collecting cash/checks from caregivers and then making regular deposits into your troop bank account and the Product Sales Account*.

During this process you should be doing three things:

1.        ALWAYS complete a receipt when you collect money or give out cookies. Your Troop supplies included receipt books for this. Troops keep the white copy, parents get the yellow copy. Fill it out completely!

2.        Cookie money collected from Girl Scouts is called ‘girl money’ and you should be recording girl money in Smart Cookies each time you receive.

3.        Deposits made into the Product Sales Account should be recorded in Smart Cookies.

You can find instruction on tracking girl money and entering PSA deposits on pages 16-17 of the Troop Cookie Handbook.

*If you are in SU 716 or 816 you do not enter PSA deposits but you do have to track girl payments.




Important Reminders
REMINDER: You don’t need to record deposits to troop accounts

REMINDER: If you have problems at the ATM don’t call the toll-free number on the ATM and don’t go into the bank. Instead email cookies@gsksmo.org and include the location, date and time of the ATM deposit, what happened and your troop number. We’ll work to help!

REMINDER: If you need more receipt books ask your SUPSM, visit your local office (check to make sure they are open) or email us at cookies@gsksmo.org (include address) and request.
