Troop Cookie Managers and Leaders,

What a beautiful day it was today! Perfect for Cookie Booths, hope you did great and wore your sunscreen!!

Let's talk Cookie Share

Cookie Shares are the cookies customers purchase in support of GSKSMO’s Cookie Share program. Customers pay $6 per Share and troops track this in Smart Cookies*.

One of our issues with Digital Cookie “talking” to Smart Cookies is the recording of Cookie Shares. We appreciate your patience as we waited for a solution.

Because we aren’t seeing a solution for 2024, we need to manage the issue at the troop level to make sure your Girl Scouts are credited for their Cookie Shares correctly. Please follow these steps:

1. Log into the Digital Cookie platform as the troop
2. On the Dashboard, scroll down until you see Reports: Troop (your troop number)
3. Next to All Order Data, click Get Report and open that report
4. Sort or filter by Girl Scout
5. Scroll over to column U – Donations and note each girl’s total
6. Repeat for each girl

Once you have completed the DC24 portion and have each girl's Cookie Share total, now log into Smart Cookies:

1. Under Reports click Current
2. Choose the Girl Balance Summary Report and Click View Report
3. When the report opens, scroll through each girl and note at the top of each girl’s report the number of Cookie Shares Smart Cookie assigned to the girl

Is the number from your DC24 Report higher than what’s in Smart Cookies?

1. Go to the Orders tab in Smart Cookies
2. Choose Virtual Cookie Share
3. Enter the number of shares needed to equal the number on the Digital Cookie Report and save. You can enter every girl at once or you can complete one at time. Just remember to save

Is the number from your DC24 Report lower than what’s in Smart Cookies?

Email cookies@gsksmo.org with the girl’s first and last name, your troop number, and the number of Cookie Shares to remove.

*Some troops opt to collect packages for their own Cookie Share. If your troop is supporting another organization, Cookie Shares don’t get tracked in Smart Cookies. And as a reminder, girls do not earn any Cookie-share related recognitions.

If you need more cookies, don't forget your Planned Order by 9:00 pm TONIGHT! This is for pick-up at our council cupboards at Camp Prairie Schooner and Fry Wagner on Friday and regional cupboards in Topeka, Manhattan and St. Joseph.

Thank you,

Your Product Program Team
