Hello Girl Scout Family,

We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are enjoying our annual Cookie Program season.

By now, most troops who are participating in the annual Cookie Program have handed out materials and held family meetings. (If you haven’t received any materials, check in with your troop!).

We wanted to remind you of a few things that will make your cookie program go smoothly for your troop and your Girl Scout.

Be sure to know, and follow, your troop’s deadlines. One of the upcoming deadlines is for families to turn in their Girl Scout’s first (aka initial) order. We have a wonderful worksheet that helps you report the number of packages needed. Fill this out and turn it in to your Troop Cookie Manager.

If you are participating online, and you opted into Girl Delivery Orders, be sure to keep an eye on your emails. You have five days to approve the order or it will automatically cancel. You receive the email, click the link and click approve (or cancel if it’s someone who you don’t want to deliver to). REMEMBER – any girl delivered orders – both placed online and in person – must be reported to the troop so you get the cookies you need. Our tracker form helps you keep all that straight.

Be sure to turn in the money you collect and insist upon a receipt!

If you haven’t opted into Smart Cookies and want to participate online, please email us at cookies@gsksmo.org. Include your Girl Scout’s full name, her troop number, and the email you want to use. We’ll work to get your registration email sent out asap.

There's plenty of time to get started if you haven't yet! We are here to support for whatever you may need.

You can get an additional order card, other resources and information on our cookie central for families section of our website.

If you have any questions, feel free to email us at cookies@gsksmo.org

Thank you!
