Dear Parents / Caregivers,
Happy New Year! We hope you have had a great start to 2021. We are so appreciative for all you do to support your Girl Scout Entrepreneur! This Cookiegram gets you ready for the first phase of the program: Initial Order Turn-In.
Your troop’s Cookie Manager (TCM) and/or Leader will be asking for your Girl Scout’s initial cookie order very soon. The TCM / Leader will give you specifics on how these orders should be turned in but we wanted to pass along some reminders and tips to help you get the correct order.
For those of you who are using Smart Cookies to help your Girl Scout gather orders virtually here are some tips:
No Action Needed:
Direct Ship orders: With Direct Ship, no further action is needed by you. You don’t approve these orders, nor do you have to turn them into the troop. They are paid in full; your Girl Scout and her troop are automatically credited for the sale. You’ll see Direct Orders count toward your Girl Scout’s goal at the top of her dashboard.
Action Needed:
Girl Delivery orders that are placed because of an email you sent through Smart Cookies do not need to be approved. The cookies ordered (including Cookie Share) need to be included on the order you report to your troop. Your troop’s Cookie Manager does not pull this info for you. These orders may or may not be prepaid.
Girl Delivery orders that are placed from the social media link must be approved within five days of the order. You should receive an email asking you to approve. If you’re not receiving emails, you can try to resend it to yourself. See more info on how to resend the email and/or approve the order. These orders also need to be communicated to your troop so that the cookies you need to deliver are ordered.
This worksheet can be used to communicate orders to your troop. Print the sheet, fill it out and return it to your troop (your TCM will let you know how they want to collect this info).
Reminders:
If you entered your paper orders into Smart Cookies be sure not to duplicate the packages.
Girl Delivery orders are credited to the girl when the troop transfers cookies from the troop to the girl.
If you need help, please email cookies@gsksmo.org. Include your Girl Scout’s name and troop number.
Thank you!
