For Cookie Sellers

Did you know that customers buy more cookies when girls sell online with Digital Cookie? Digital Cookie is an easy way to stay contactless and participate in the program.

Digital Cookie is program developed by GSUSA in conjunction with Little Brownie Baker which allows girls to take electronic orders for cookies. Girls can send friends and family to their website to order and pay for cookies online. Customers have the option for the cookies to be directly shipped to them (shipping charges apply), have the Girl Scout deliver the cookies or donate cookies with no additional handling fees.

Your Girl Scout can make her own business website through Digital Cookie. She can send emails to customers and these customers can purchase orders with a credit card. Always think safety first!

“Girl Delivered Cookies” will arrive with your troop order in February.

“Shipped Cookies” will be sent directly to the customer.

Your troop may request your order card earlier than March 22. Please ask your leader for the deadline set by your troop.

Encourage girls to canvas their communities with buddies and adults, leaving no doorbell un-rung! Always think safety first!

Girls can take orders door-to-door at the beginning of the cookie program with their order cards.

Girls can sell door-to-door with cookies in hand. After cookies are delivered, load up a wagon with cookies, make signs and you are ready for a neighborhood walkabout.

Cookie booth sites are girl-operated opportunities for customers to purchase cookies from troops. All Girl Scout levels may participate in booth sites and will gain valuable experiences in the process.

At a cookie booth, Girl Scouts get to sell directly to the public with cookies in hand at a local business. In this new environment, cookie booths may look a little different than in years past. Check with your troop leader to see what type of booth (virtual, drive-thru or in-person) they decide on and how you can provide support.

The Goal Getter program is another way for Girl Scouts to reach their goals after the initial order taking phase of the cookie program. Girls can continue to earn rewards and fulfill customer orders to the package by going to any Gathering Place cookie cupboard.

The Gift of Caring service project is a great way to support local Girl Scouts and provide comfort to military personnel. If, for instance, customers say they’ve already purchased cookies or are on a diet, girls may encourage them to make a monetary donation to support the Gift of Caring program. Always remind customers that money donated to GOC will go toward purchasing packages of cookies for women and men in the Armed Forces and for community organizations. Last year more than 232,000 boxes of cookies were collected for Gift of Caring by our Girl Scouts.

Donations are made in $5.00 increments with a Girl Scout on her order card, online with Digital Cookie, or at a cookie booth. Customers who wish to contribute 250+ boxes will also receive recognition from Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana. If you would like more information about Gift of Caring or Gift of Caring Business, contact Angela Foster.
