Hello Troop Cookie Managers & Leaders,
We continue to work to be as upfront as possible as we learn updates on this year’s cookie product shortages. Getting straight to the point, we’re not getting a truck this week nor the week of March 7.
Troops with planned orders for pick up on March 4, Fry-Wagner or Camp Prairie Schooner will receive a separate email with a form to fill out. In order to pick up any cookies, you must fill out the form. For the first time ever at the council level and to accommodate as many troops with customer orders, we are opening the cases and going to distribute in packages. Cupboard pick-up will be all about pending customer order fulfillment and not product for booth sales.
If you have a booth sale this weekend or next and you have no pending customer orders and have product or can obtain some from other troops looking to transfer, go for it. Remember, you don't have to have every variety to sell.... treat it like a close out sale, last chance of the season, etc. If you have no product and can't obtain any, please cancel your booth sale in Smart Cookies prior to the date of that sale.
Other Important Reminders:
- If you did not place a planned order please do not come to the cupboard; we do not anticipate having extras or product to trade at this time.
-
We have been told that we are being worked into a schedule for a Week of March 14 delivery. This isn't 100% in stone but we always promise to share what we know. When that product arrives we will let you know how you can acquire it if you need additional product to fill girl delivery orders. Please note we have no Adventurefuls at this time and expect that supply when our last truck arrives fingers crossed during the Week of March 14.
- We will not be extending the booth season.
- Our ACH schedule will stay in place for cookies picked up through March 6, 2022.
-
If your troop picks up any product to complete Girl Delivery orders after March 6, we’ll complete a 3rd ACH pull on March 31.
Girl Recognition Deadline will stay the same for March 18, so be sure to complete all your transfers. Girl initial orders are already there in her balance. So now you be asking, I am waiting for cookies, how do I do a troop to girl transfer without having my cookies in hand? You are going to go ahead and transfer from your troop to that girl and you will go negative in your troop balance. Once we get that product and you pick it up, we will transfer and you will balance again. It's a little tricky but this way your girls will get their recognitions ordered correctly. See how to place your recognitions order now.
We appreciate your patience as we work through this very difficult, and unprecedented, cookie season. Thank you for your understanding.
