Troop Cookie Managers and Leaders,
Welcome to February!
Cookie deliveries are beginning on the First, booths officially begin on the Ninth, and we have a football game to watch on February 11.
Here’s a quick update on what’s happening!
Data in Digital Cookie and Smart Cookies
We are aware that there is a lag between sales showing in Digital Cookie and Smart Cookies. GSUSA and ABC are both aware; we hope to have an update this week to share. Please do not worry that your Girl Scout isn’t going to be credited correctly. We appreciate your continued support and patience as we (all GS councils) push for the systems to work both correctly and efficiently!
Booth Sales
Booth Sales are around the corner! Here are some tips to make sure your booth sale goes well:
-
After you’re set up in Digital Cookie (via a browser), it’s time to download the free app, Digital Cookie Mobile App. Use the same credentials you use for the program and log in. You’ll use the app to take credit card payments. Our last Cookiegram covered all the deets.
Cookie Coach Continues
Join us January 31 to learn more about Transferring cookies to girls and troops, best practices for tracking girl money, and how to get more cookies by placing a planned order.
Our webinar is live, begins at 6:00 pm, and it will be recorded if you can’t make it. Live Q & A to follow the presentation. Click here to join us meeting ID 848 7869 8084
Bling Your Booth
This fun contest is back for another year! Are the Girl Scouts in your troop the most creative cookie entrepreneurs around? Let your creative and innovative side soar during the Bling Your Booth Contest and earn rewards as a troop! Have your troop show they are ready to “Own Your Magic” as they decorate their cookie booths. Nothing will generate more excitement and attract customers to your booth like the pizazz of a blinged-out cookie booth! This year, there is no specific theme! Show us YOUR MAGICAL Cookie Booths!
See all the contest details, dates for submission and prizes now.
Buy Out a Booth Opportunity
We are working with some very special supporters who are looking to BUY OUT a cookie booth with a choice of three different levels or a choose your own investment. We want to make a match with a special troop and one of these generous supporters.
To be considered as a match troop, please complete our Buy Out Your Booth application. Definitely share all about your AWESOME troop and your Girl Scouts' plans for their cookie proceeds. We can't wait to make some matches!
We know this has been a challenging cookie season and we can’t say enough how much we appreciate all of you! Thank you for the continued support and kind words you send our way. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have a question (cookies@gsksmo.org) and know that we’re working to make sure your Cookie Program goes as well as possible!
What’s Next?
Our next Cookiegram is later this week with what we’re calling the “Cookie FixIt form.” This will allow you to report inventory inconsistencies from your initial order, online orders, cookie shares, and more.
Thank you!
