Cookie Recognition Redemptions
Redemption (for girls who sold 300+ boxes of Cookies) and ticket sales open on April 3 at 10:00 am! If you want to sit together, one person must redeem recognition packages, order additional tickets and order tshirts in ONE order!
Caregivers of girls who earned this recognition level, as well as
Girl Scout Day at Worlds of Fun (500+ packages) received an email confirming the recognition level on March 20. There is no special link or code for cookie recognition redemption. The adult purchaser/redeemer just needs the name(s) of the Girl Scout(s) who earned for whom they want to redeem.
Girl Scouts who sold 750+ packages will receive an email in the coming weeks about their additional recognition items!
