                                          FAMILIAR TERMS
    ACH DEBIT - When troop funds are electronically taken from a troop account to cover payments for cookies the troop has or-
    dered or transferred in from another troop. To be ACH ready means that the troop has set up a troop account and completed
    and turned in the ACH paperwork. ACH paperwork is available on the cookie portion of the council website (www.getyourgirl-
    power.org) in the forms section.

    COOKIE BOOTHS - Locations, usually stores, where girls sell cookies to customers. Troops should bring tables, chairs, cook-
    ies and change. GSCI works with some of the local retailers to secure locations for troop leaders and these locations may be
    reserved through the Cookie Booth Scheduler. Troops are encouraged to set up their own cookie booth locations since most
    cookie reservations set up by the council go fast. Successful cookie booths are in high traffic areas, display troop goals and
    incorporate eye-catching marketing.

    COOKIE CUPBOARDS - Locations where cupboard orders arrive and are picked up by the troop. Some regions will have
    multiple location choices for cupboard order pickups.

    COOKIE DOUGH - Credit earned by selling cookies. Cookie Dough may be used toward day and resident camp,
    council-sponsored programs and items in the Trefoil Boutique (except gift cards). Cookie Dough expires on
    September 21, 2019, and will not be accepted as payment after this date.

    DIGITAL COOKIES - The new online way to sell cookies to customers. Digital Cookie customers can have their cookies
    shipped directly to their home or donated to Operation Cookie Share. Customers can even request their cookies be delivered
    by the Girl Scout, all while paying with a credit card. Each family and troop leader must have an email address on file
    to gain access to Digital Cookies.

    DIRECT SALE FORMAT - Allows girls to have cookies in-hand to sell door-to-door to family, friends, and neighbors. With the
    direct sale format there is only one transaction, and selling is condensed into one simple step.

    INITIAL ORDER - The first order a troop places. The initial order must be placed in eBudde by January 15, 2019.

Get ready to Go for Bold this Girl Scout season!
 Girl Scouts are known for their infectious, go-getter attitudes. This season we’re celebrating their spirit and all the ways they
 are daring, creative and innovative in their Girl Scout Cookie Sale. It’s a great year for all of us to Go for the Bold! Whether it’s
                         embarking on a brave new adventure or simply mustering up the courage to talk to someone new,
    A NEW                every girl finds her own type of bold in the Girl Scout Cookie Program.
    YEAR
                         Your most important function in preparing for the Girl Scout Cookie Program will be the time you
   OF THE                spend with the girls in the troop. Through the cookie program, even the youngest Girl Scouts gain
 GIRL SCOUT              self-confidence and poise by learning how to greet customers and offer cookies for purchase.
   COOKIE
                         The Troop Leader and Troop Cookie Coordinator should work closely throughout the sale and
  PROGRAM                communicate the progress of the sale on a continuing basis. This resource is written to help you
   AWAITS!               organize and conduct the most successful cookie campaign possible and has been designed to help

you make the most of your time and energy. Please take the time to thoroughly review the new updates to the program,
general facts, important dates, guidelines, procedures, and forms provided. This guide should answer most of your questions.

A Direct Sale format will provide your troop more opportunity in sales and troop profit. Girls will earn Cookie Dough and
recognitions throughout the entire program, including during Cookie Booths. This means that girls will earn more Cookie
Dough and recognitions and parents/guardians will save lots of time because cookies in hand means just one transaction.
Returning to customers’ homes after an order has been placed is now a thing of the past!

To help your troop manage your cookie inventory, and also to provide cookies for additional sales, your troop will be provided
six opportunities to place a troop order. You will have one initial order and five additional cupboard orders. As in previous
years, your initial order will arrive at your local delivery site. (After your initial order you will have five opportunities to place
additional cupboard troop orders.) The cupboard orders will arrive at strategic locations and you will have an opportunity to
choose your cupboard delivery location. Cookie inventory management will be very important to you. Inventory management
requires communicating with girls and parents. With good communication between the troop cookie coordinator and parents,
your troop will be able to have cookies when and where you need them and your troop will not end up with more than you
need. The resources on GetYourGirlPower.org contain several tools that will help you determine troop orders as well as tools
that will help you keep track and manage your troop inventory.

If you have questions we are here to help! Our Coordinators, Program Specialists, Membership Recruiters, Support
Specialists, and Product Sales team will be happy to assist. Have a safe and fun cookie season!

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is a great responsibility - it could not happen without you. We are confident you will find the
experience to be both enjoyable and rewarding. Thank you for your support and dedication to the success of the program.

This year we welcome back LITTLE BROWNIE BAKERS. Our Council will implement eBudde, the
                    powerful cookie-management software that electronically manages every part of the sale. Explore
                    Little Brownies fun and engaging resources-including Cookie Rookie, for first time cookie sellers,
                    and Cookie Captain to engage experienced girls in mentoring roles.

                    STANDARDIZING PRICING. All cookies will be $5 per box. This is advantageous to all.
                     • All varieties will be available to "trade out" at your local service center
                     • It will no longer be required to transfer cookies or add girl sales by variety. However, you may
                       transfer by variety if you prefer.
                     • Keeping track of the amount each girl owes will be simple.

                    Back again is DIGITAL COOKIES. Girls and troops learn more, earn more and have lots more fun. It
                    takes learning Goal Setting, Decision Making, Money Management, People Skills and Business Eth-
                    ics to the next level. Digital Cookies is a great opportunity to learn and participate in E-commerce.
                    To take full advantage of Digital Order card opportunities Girl Scouts may begin the Digital Order
                    card program on Friday January 25. On that day, girls will receive a DOC registration email and may
                    begin to email customers to have cookies shipped to their door or in-person delivery.

                      Please note that Girls/Troops may not make any deliveries until February 8.

                    To better serve the financial needs of troops and our council, we will have THREE ACH PAYMENTS.
                    The first ACH payment is for one third of the initial order (minus troop profit), the second ACH pay-
                    ment is for one third of the total amount owed to council and the last ACH payment will cover all
                    remaining balance owed to council. Please review the Cookie Calendar for ACH dates.

                                                                                FEBRUARY 22-24, 2019

THE FIVE SKILLS FOR GIRLS
Everything girls do in Girl Scouting is designed to help them grow into leaders of courage, confidence, and character. The five
skills girls learn through the Girl Scout Cookie Program are an important ingredient in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience and

WHAT IS A DIRECT SALE?
Girl Scouts of Central Illinois will be using a direct-sale format to sell cookies for the cookie program. Girls will have
boxes IN HAND to sell door-to-door to family, friends, and neighbors. Girl Scouts exchange cookies and payment in one easy
step! No more taking orders, waiting weeks, and then returning for the delivery and money collection. A direct
sale program condenses all that work into one simple step.

NO RETURN POLICY
Little Brownie Bakers does not allow GSCI to return unsold cookies.
GSCI does not allow Girl Scout troops to return unsold cookies, and
troop leaders should not allow parents/guardians to return unsold
cookies. The orders your troop places should be based on the demand
of your Girl Scouts (with parent/guardian consent). If you accept return
cookies from your parents, you are personally accepting responsibil-
ity for the cost of the cookies that are being returned. GSCI does not
encourage troop leaders/cookie coordinators to accept return cookies
from parents.

COOKIE SUCCESS
KICK OFF THE COOKIE SEASON
Help girls get ready by selecting learning activities that fit their experiences and interests. Create a custom plan with the Built
by Me tool (www.builtbyme.littlebrowniebaker.com). Kick off your first cookie meeting with a video! Cookies Live Videos
are interactive shows that teach girls selling tips, inspire them to reach goals and have loads of fun along the way. First time
sellers love Cookie Rookie. Made for young girls, this show teaches cookie names, how to ask customers to buy and other
skills. Keep teens interested and have them give back with the Cookie Captain program. Older girls love being mentors. These
resources can be accessed at www.littlebrowniebaker.com. Choose “Girls” for Cookie Rookie or “Teens” for Cookie Captain.

GOAL SETTING
Goal setting is one of the most valuable life skills you can pass on to girls. Research has shown that girls who
set goals will increase their sales by approximately 35%. We have the perfect online tool for the girls to set goals
AND have fun! When you help girl set high goals for the cookie season, they learn an important skill for life.
Encourage girls to set two types of goals: Something they’d like to try and something they can do to help others.
Visit the Volunteer Blog for goal-setting games and crafts (http://blog.littlebrownie.com).

             COOKIE HOUSE PARTY
             This season, cookie sales are in the house! During a Cookie House Party, girl comes together under one roof to
             sell cookies by the case! With 12 boxes per case, cookie sales add up fast. Girls will invite friends, families and
             all their favorite cookie customers to the their story, declare their goals and share their dreams. Check out the
             Cookie House Party hostess guide at www.idealcookiesale.com for planning a party, theme ideas, planning a sales
             pitch and much more. Throwing a party is fun and sells cookies fast!

SELL BEYOND FAMILY AND FRIENDS
For girls to reach high goals; they will need to expand their circle of customers. Don’t worry; customers are eagerly looking for
their favorite Girl Scout cookies!

DOOR-TO-DOOR SALES
Encourage girls to canvas their community with buddies and adult partners, leaving no doorbell unrung! Sell door-to-door with
cookies in hand. Load up a wagon with cookies, make signs, and you are ready for a neighborhood walk-about.

ONLINE SALES
Customers buy more cookies when girls sell online. With Digital Order Card, girls can send cookie customers to
their website to order and pay for their cookies online. It’s a faster, easier way to reach high goals.

SOCIAL NETWORKING
Online social networking sites are a great place for teens (13 and older with parent permission) to ask for cookie orders. Be
sure girls follow the GUSUA safety guidelines for online marketing!

TELEPHONE SALES
It’s fast and easy to sell Girl Scout Cookies by phone. Review order cards from previous years and contact customers again.
Once cookies have been delivered, call customers, thank them for their orders and ask if they need additional cookies. Try a
text-a-thon. Girls may want to text their friends and family to let them know it’s cookie time and ask for orders.

WORKPLACE SALES
With a parent as a guide, contact business owners to request permission to sell cookies. Girl can make either make a quick
“sales pitch” at a staff meeting or make sales calls around the office, depending on the wishes of the business. You may be
able to leave an order card or have an adult oversee a sales card. Just remember it’s the girl’s responsibility to fill the order.
Girls should establish a date and time to pick up the order cards and deliver the cookies

               BOOTH SALES
               Booth sales are a great way to increase your team’s success. Remember, you must have the appropriate
               permission from the booth location. Grocery stores, malls, banks, sporting events, community events and high
               traffic locations are great for booth sales.

DIGITAL COOKIE
    BIG NEWS!
    The Girl Scout Cookie Program you know and love has gone beyond the booth and now offers an e-commerce way to sell and
    buy cookies—and support girls’ learning at the same time. The Digital cookie platform helps prepare girls to be leaders in the
    fast-paced e-commerce world of today. With the Digital Cookie platform, girls can customize the way they learn and earn,
    using technology in a whole new way and earning cool cookie badges along the way! With Digital Cookie girls can:
             1. Promote their troop’s cookie business and inspire more support than ever—with more ways to sell and more ways
                to talk to customers about the cookie business
             2. Keep track of cookie customers—because an organized Cookie Boss is a rock star Cookie Boss!
             3. Take digital credit card orders for in person delivery or shipped orders. Customers appreciate being able to easily
                 pay for their cookies. Less hassle equals more support!
             4. Ship cookies directly to customers or have customers share the love with a cookie donation.

    HOW DOES DIGITAL COOKIE WORK?
    It’s a lot like buying your cookies at a traditional cookie booth but with an online twist. The girls initiate a cookie sale, whether
    online, via email or in person at the cookie booth with their mobile app.

    She can invite customers to visit her personalized cookie website where they can place an order, pay using a credit card, have
    their order shipped/delivered by a Girl Scout or even donate cookies to Operation Cookie Share. Some Girl Scouts may take
    in-person orders using a mobile app that also allows them to securely accept payments using credit cards. Customers select
    cookies, place their order and complete their transaction.

    DIGITAL COOKIE SET UP BEGINS JANUARY 25!
    For Girl Scouts and volunteers to participate in Digital Cookies the volunteer AND Girl Scout must be registered and GSCI must
    have your correct email address on file. On January 25, the Girl Scout will receive an email from “Girl Scout Cookie Program”
    with the subject “Ready Set Register for Digital Cookie”. From there simply register, create a password and set up your Girl

    email on file. To update your current email address with GSCI please call Customer Care at 888-623-1237.

    will provide them with valuable e-commerce skills and will be fun and exciting at the same time!

February 8, 2019 - Direct Sale Begins

OPERATION COOKIE SHARE
Operation Cookie Share has been a huge success. Girl Scouts of Central Illinois has provided over $1,000,000 worth of
Girl Scout cookies to the women and men of our armed forces at home and abroad. In fact, our Girl Scouts were so successful
that this achievement is entered in the Illinois Congressional Records.
With Operation Cookie Share orders, only troops will receive $1 per box troop profit.

HOW OPERATION COOKIE SHARE WORKS
Even though we are using a directs-sale format, girls should still take along their order cards. On each girl’s order card there is
a column listing each variety of cookie plus one additional column labeled “Cookie Share.” When the girls go out with cookies
in hand (and during cookie booths!), please encourage them to not only ask the customer to purchase Girl Scout cookies for
themselves, but also to ask the customers to purchase cookies for our military troops. Girls will enter the number of boxes
each customer donates on the Cookie Boxes Donated column. Customers do not have a choice of the variety of cookies to
be sent to troops. Operation Cookie Share cookies are held in a “virtual warehouse”, troops do not take possession of these
cookies. At the end of the program, all Operation Cookie Share orders are accounted for and then shipped to military soldiers
at home and abroad.

NEW WITH DIGITAL COOKIES! When Girl Scouts send out emails through Digital Cookies, customers will have
the opportunity to donate to Operation Cookie Share.

SHARE PATCH AND MORE
Girls that sell twelve boxes for Operation Cookie Share will earn a Cookie Share patch. Girls that sell 24 boxes will earn a
Cookie Star Bandana and girls that sell 50 or more Operation Cookie Share will earn the Fashion Dry Erase Markers!

HOW ARE THE COOKIES DELIVERED TO MILITARY TROOPS?
A special thanks to Soldiers Angels. Many of the donated cookies will arrive at home and abroad through Soldiers Angels. Also,
donated cookies are sent to Great Lakes Naval facility, Illinois Veteran Retirement Homes and medical facilities, local USO’s
and the Illinois National Guard.

                                       OPT-OUT OPTION
Girl Scout Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador troops will be allowed to opt out of receiving recognitions and Cookie Dough in
exchange for a higher troop profit. All recognitions will be forfeited, including free memberships; however, girls will still receive
any patches earned. Whichever option is chosen applies to the entire troop, not a girl-by-girl basis. If a troop decides to opt
out of recognitions and Cookie Dough, the troop will earn $0.85 for each package sold. Troops must decide to opt out prior
to the initial order (January 15). Please refer to page 19, “Update Your Troop Information,” for information on how to opt out.

A troop bonus of
                               100
will be given to troops that place an initial order with a per girl selling average of 160 boxes (with a minimum of 800 boxes
ordered: 5 girls selling an average of 160 boxes). The initial order is the first order placed by the troop. Troops have an
opportunity to earn a $100 troop bonus based on their initial cookie order. If a troop places an initial order with a per girl
selling average of 160 boxes, the troop will earn the bonus. For example, if a troop has 10 girls, they would need to order at
least 1,600 boxes for their initial order to earn the bonus. Also, for a troop with less than 5 girls, they must order at least 800
boxes to qualify. Troop bonuses will be issued through ACH credit.

RECOGNITIONS (INCLUDING COOKIE DOUGH!)
     Girl Scouts of Central Illinois offers an empowering recognition program that affords Girl Scouts the opportunity to make a
     variety of choices. Through this recognition program, the girls will follow a decision-making process that includes goal setting,
     product choice evaluation, and making purchasing decisions based on what they have earned. Our recognition program not
     only rewards and encourages girls to set goals and work as a team to achieve them, but they also provide girls with a hands-
     on experience with purchasing and financial decision making.

     HOW COOKIE DOUGH WORKS
       • Cookie Dough and recognitions will be earned throughout the entire cookie program, including booth sales!

       • To encourage goal setting, girls must sell 25 boxes of cookies to qualify for Cookie Dough.

       • Cookie Dough will be distributed on a Girl Scout Cookie Dough card. Every girl who sells 25 boxes of cookies or more will
         receive a Girl Scout Cookie Dough card.

       • Cookie Dough may be used to pay for 2019 activities and events (resident camp, day camp, one-day events, and bus
         trips), membership registration, cookie recognitions, and merchandise in council Trefoil Boutiques.

            Cookie Dough expires September 21, 2019
