What’s New for 2020
    There’s a reason the Girl Scout Cookie Program® is a celebrated tradition. It’s an amazing opportunity for
    girls to WOW THE WORLD and build lifelong skills!
    The largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world also offers an incredible opportunity for you
    as a volunteer. You get to see firsthand how girls grow, learn, and come into their own. We give you
    the resources you need to guide girls in discovering hidden talents, uncovering new strengths, and
    developing the entrepreneurial mindset that will serve them far beyond cookie season.
    Thanks for all you do for Girl Scouts!

    ✭ New Cookie and All New Cookie Packaging
       Lemon-Ups are crispy lemon cookies baked with inspiring messages to lift your spirit. Lemon-Ups
       and all cookie packaging must remain confidential until January 7, 2020 per GSUSA.

    ✭ New Reward Levels
       Several new reward levels have been added to keep girls excited about the program.

Cookie Program Activities
    The Five Skills
    The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world and girls learn
    five key skills they will use for a lifetime:

        1 Goal setting: She sets cookie goals and makes a plan to reach them.
        2 Decision-making: She decides how her troop will spend the cookie money.
        3 Money management: She makes a budget, takes orders and handles customers’ money.
        4 People skills: She learns to talk and listen to all kinds of people while selling cookies.
        5 Business ethics: She is honest and responsible every step of the way.
    Your time and talents are valuable to girls and to the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Thank you for helping
    build a program where girls learn, grow and make a lasting impact on the world.

    Digital Cookie
    Digital Cookie is the online cookie sale channel for the Girl Scout
    Cookie Program. Digital Cookie is meant to complement the direct
    sales and contacts girls make with customers. It should not replace
    the traditional door-to-door selling process. Digital Cookie is run by
    and is not controlled by Little Brownie Bakers or council staff.

           To Begin Digital Cookie
           • Council must have her registration data correct and complete. This includes the accurate name,
             birth date, troop number, grade level, and parent/guardian email address.
           • Service unit cookie chairs should work with troop leaders to make sure that their girls’ information
             is accurate and up-to-date.
           • Council can help service unit cookie chairs access troop rosters that list our current registration
             information.
           • Changes may be made by visiting My GS from our website, www.gskentuckiana.org.
           • If additional assistance is required, or if you have a parent or leader who does not receive the Digital
             Cookie link, please call Volunteer Care.

           Once Digital Cookie is activated
           • Parents/guardians will receive an email by January 1. Remind parents to look for the email.
           • This email will contain instructions on creating their girl’s site and how to begin to receive and
             accept orders.
           • All Digital Cookie online orders will automatically be imported into eBudde and credited to the
             girl and funds credited to troop in eBudde.

2020 Volunteer Cookie Program Guide - Girl Scouts of ...
Customers have three options:
   • Donated cookies: purchase virtual cookies that will be donated to U.S. military troops via
     Operation: Cookie, our council-wide gift of caring initiative.
   • Direct shipped delivery: purchase cookies that are shipped to customer address as provided.
   • Girl delivery: parent/guardian will have to approve this option and the girl will need to order and
     pick up cookies from her troop inventory and deliver to the customer. Toffee-tastic will be available
     for girl delivery during the initial order period only. After initial orders are submitted, Toffee-tastic
     and S'Mores will not be available as a girl delivery option.

All digital orders are pre-paid by the customer online and the amount paid is entered into eBudde for
credit to girl and troop.

Parents love the convenience of using Digital Cookie and girls who participate in Digital Cookie sell 76
percent more than girls who participate in the traditional program alone. Help the girls in your troop
reach their goals with Digital Cookie.

Accessing Digital Cookie as a volunteer
   1. Watch for an email that will have Girl Scout Cookie Program as the sender and the from email
      address will be email@email.girlscouts.org.
   2. Click on the green button in the email.
   3. Create a password and use your email address and password to login.
   4. View the safety video and sign the Terms & Conditions.
   5. Check out your troop’s progress on your Digital Cookie dashboard.
      • There is a set of Terms & Conditions for each role. If you have multiple roles you will sign
        multiple Terms & Conditions.
       • If you are also a parent, you can expect a parent email to arrive about a week after your
         volunteer email. You do not need to register again if you are using the same email for all roles.
       • If you use different email addresses for different roles, i.e. one for your Girl Scout volunteer
         communication that is different than your email used as a parent, you will have separate
         accounts for each role and need to register each of them.
       • When logging in, you will be prompted to select a role: parent, troop leader, or SU. If you have
         one email address on file for all roles, you can switch between them using the Select a Roll
         button at the top.

Additional training regarding the use of Digital Cookie will be provided. Look for more information in the
weekly Product Power Connection email.

Operation: Cookie
Operation: Cookie is a council-wide campaign. Troops can take orders for cookies that will be shipped
directly to military troops and organizations. These orders must be listed in eBudde under the OpCke
column. The rewards will automatically generate in eBudde under the rewards tab.

                                                                                                                 5

Cookie Entrepreneur Family Pin Collection
    The new Cookie Entrepreneur Family pin encourages families to support girls as they learn to
    think like entrepreneurs through the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Each Girl Scout grade level has
    its own set of requirements to help families guide their Girl Scout as she runs her own cookie
    business year after year. Girls can earn all 13 pins in the collection—one unique pin for every
    year they participate. Instructions on earning the pins can be found on the GSK website.

2020 Volunteer Cookie Program Guide - Girl Scouts of ...
Troop Basics
    The 2020 Cookie Program theme is WOW THE WORLD!

    Initial orders are taken from January 1–26, 2020. Girls should have their order cards to their troop by
    January 26, 2020. Check out a list of girl rewards for initial sales on page 26.

    After January 26, girls may continue to take orders from friends, family and neighbors and use Digital
    Cookie until March 22. Troops may hold booth sales from February 28–March 22 to increase their sales
    and qualify for higher level rewards.

    Product Line Up!
    There are eight great flavors on the order card from Little Brownie Bakers!

           Six Core Flavors: Samoas, Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Do-si-dos, Trefoils, and Lemon-Ups (new
           cookie!) are $5.00 per package! Basic troop profit is $0.70 per package.
           Two Specialty Flavors: Girl Scout S’Mores, and Toffee-tastic (gluten free) are $6.00 per package!
           Basic troop profit is $0.80 per package. Available only during the initial order.

    Who Can Participate?
    All registered Girl Scouts with a signed permission slip can participate in the Cookie Program!

    All troops must be clear of any debt due to the council in order to participate. Any girl with an
    outstanding debt may not take part in direct sales, but she can participate in booth sales with her troop.

    Girls registered independently must contact their local office to get cookie information and get set up in
    eBudde.

    How Do We Get Started?
    Encourage your girls to set troop and individual goals. Hold a family meeting and discuss what the girls
    have planned for the 2020 Cookie Program. Collect a signed permission slip from the primary guardian
    for each participating girl in your troop.

    Remember, when adults understand the importance of the Cookie Program, they give their full support
    and help their girls do everything it takes to be successful. Let the girls inspire their families!

    Financial Responsibility
           The troop is financially responsible for:
           • Any cookies ordered through eBudde and picked up at delivery and cookie cupboards.
           • The total number of cookies submitted in eBudde. Check orders for unusual quantities before
             hitting submit.
           • Counting and signing for all cookies at delivery and from cupboards. The signed receipt is final!
             There are no exchanges/returns!
           • All girl payments received for cookies and all money collected at booth sales.
           • Providing parents/guardians with receipts for money collected.
8
• Making timely deposits of all money into the troop account.
       • Any lost or stolen money.
       • Distributing all girl rewards. Rewards for any girl with outstanding debt should be held until
         balance is paid in full.

       The family is financially responsible for:
       • All cookies ordered by their Girl Scout. The troop should give receipts for all transactions.
       • All money collected from customers.
       • Turning in payments to troop by given deadlines. Turning in money often is recommended.
       • Any lost or stolen money. The guardian who signed the girl product permission slip will be held
         liable.
       • Signing receipts anytime they pick up cookies and/or make payments.

       There is a no return policy on cookies.
       If a package is damaged (crushed box or sealed but empty), the package can be exchanged at any
       cookie cupboard for a non-damaged package of the same cookie flavor.

Training
All troops must have at least one adult participant in a cookie training.

Bank and Receipt Procedures
     • Troops must have an ACH form on file with the council to participate in the Cookie Program.
     • Troops should deposit money often.
     • Troops with families owing need to turn in a Family Owing Form with attached signed receipts by
       March 26, 2020 in order to have the adjusted amount withdrawn from the total due to council.
     • The total amount due to council is listed under the Sales Report tab in eBudde.
     • To accommodate Family Owing Forms, transfers between troops, and late orders, ACH
       withdrawals may occur in more than one transaction.

     • Parents are responsible for all Girl Scout cookies and money received. Have parents, not girls, sign
       receipts.
     • Fill out a receipt each time money or cookies are exchanged.
     • Make sure adults count cookies before signing receipt.
     • Count money in front of parent before signing receipt.
     • Adult receives one copy and troop keeps one copy.
     • Troops will be held responsible for entire balance due to council if signed receipts are not included
       with Family Owing Forms.

 Safety Tips
      • Wear your GS membership pin and/or GS clothing to identify yourself as a Girl Scout.
      • Always use the buddy system. It’s not just safe, it’s more fun!
      • Sell in familiar areas and neighborhoods.
      • Daisies, Brownies and Juniors must be accompanied by an adult. Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors
        and Ambassadors should be supervised by an adult and should never sell alone. Two adults
        must be present at cookie booths at all times.
      • Always have a plan for safeguarding money. Avoid keeping large amounts of money on your per-
        son.
      • Never enter the house of a customer. Avoid selling to people in vehicles or going into unfamiliar
        areas.
      • Sell door to door only during daylight hours.
      • Do not give out girls’ name, address, personal email or phone number. Use adult emails
        whenever possible. Adult supervision should be stressed when using online sites or social
        media for cookie promotion.
      • Always follow safe pedestrian practices, especially when crossing at intersections.

Instructions for Louisville Metro Berger Drive-Thru
     • You must have a scheduled time slot.
     • You must select a pickup date and time in eBudde.
     • Bring a copy of your eBudde delivery confirmation.
     • Arrive at your scheduled time slot.
     • You may bring one additional adult per vehicle to count cookies as they are loaded into the
       vehicle.
     • Only the counter will be allowed to leave the vehicle while in the warehouse.
     • Someone will greet you in the parking lot and give you further instructions.
     • If you are unsure of the cookie count after your vehicle has been loaded, you may pull to the
       side and recount before signing the receipt.

 How Do Girls Get Cookies?
     • Divide entire troop inventory by girl and verify count before distributing to families.
     • Make sure each family counts all their cookies and an adult signs the receipt for them.
     • Girls should deliver their initial orders, collect money due, and turn into the troop by the first
       week of March.
     • Families should sign receipts any time money or cookies are exchanged between the troop and
       family. The troop and the family should each keep a copy of the receipt.

 How Do Customers Get Cookies?
     • Girls should deliver initial orders as soon as they receive their cookies from the troop.
     • Troops should decide if checks may be accepted and what to do if checks bounce.
     • Families should turn in money often.
     • Encourage girls to take extra packages of cookies with them while delivering for additional orders.
     • Providing a transaction receipt each time cookies or money changes hands keeps a record of
       who is financially responsible.

Booths and Cupboards
Cookie Booth Dates
Friday, February 28–Sunday, March 22, 2020

Service Unit Booths
Booths are set up by council or service units for troops.

Service units will have booth sign ups for their troops. Selected booth locations will then be uploaded
into eBudde. Any open times loaded into eBudde will be available for any troop to claim.

Troop Cookie Booths
Troops may set up their own booths under the following guidelines:
     • Locations cannot be a major business or a location where the service unit generally has booths.
     • Locations should be in geographic area of troop’s service unit if possible.
     • Troop booths must be entered into eBudde and be approved before they can happen. At least 48
       hours notice is necessary for approval of location.

Preparing for a Cookie Booth
Confirm your booth assignment and check for any specific rules for that location.
Arrive on time with:
     •   Girls with their Girl Scout uniforms or Girl Scout shirt
     •   Table and two chairs for adults
     •   Cash box with money for change
     •   Signs for marketing your cookies including Operation: Cookie
     •   Clover credit card reader and/or phone with access to Clover App
     •   First Aid Kit
     •   Permission slip for each girl selling

Booth Rules and Safety Guidelines
     • Cookie booths are a troop activity. Cookies that a girl has received for personal orders cannot be
       brought to the booth. Make sure girls know the troop goals and plans for their cookie proceeds.
     • Every booth must have a minimum of two girls and two adults per GSUSA safety guidelines.
       Adults cannot conduct a booth sale by themselves. The only exception to this is for council
       sponsored booths that occur during school hours. No tagalongs (any children who are not Girl
       Scouts) are permitted at booths.
     • Girls should do the selling, not the adults.
     • No smoking, eating, or drinking during the cookie booth.
     • Businesses may have their own requirements. Please respect their requests to ensure the site for
       future sales. Don't roam the store, approach people in parking lots, or harass customers.
     • Leave your booth cleaner than you found it. Take all empty boxes and garbage with you, don’t use
       the store’s garbage cans or dumpster unless you have permission.

                                                                                                            23
Suggested Cookie Amounts for a Two Hour Booth
      2 cases Samoas
      2 cases Tagalongs
      2 cases Thin Mints
      1 case Trefoils
      1 case Do-si-dos
      1 case Lemon-Ups
      1 case Toffee-tastic
      1 case S'mores
      The number of cases will vary based on location, time, and duration. A great resource for
      information on needed amounts of cookies is your service unit cookie chairs or experienced troop
      leaders. Remember that no cookies can be returned, so order carefully and wisely. There are cookie
      cupboards open through the end of the Cookie Program.

 Cookie Cupboards
 Cookie cupboards are locations where troops can pick up cookies for additional cookie orders and booth
 sales. Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana will have five council cupboards and other volunteer cupboards located
 throughout the council. Check the Cookie Cupboard Locations chart for locations and hours of operation
 on page 25.

       • Troop leaders may pick up cookies or allow parents to do so. The person picking up cookies will
         sign a receipt for cookies received.
       • When cookies are received from a cupboard, the troop is taking financial responsibility for those
         cookies.
       • Troops may pick up cookies at any of the listed cupboards.
       • Toffee-tastic and S'Mores will only be available at PLC cupboards and the Berger Warehouse.
       • Troops wishing to pick up cookies from a council PLC on Thursday must submit a pending order
         by noon on Monday.
       • Remember, no cookies can be returned.

Rewards and Patches
 Girl rewards are based on the number of packages sold and are cumulative. Girls should be given credit
 for booth sales as well as individual sales. Troops should make sure to credit all packages of cookies in
 eBudde to girls for reward credit. See Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador Reward Options on page 11 for
 the older girl reward option. Be sure to enter and submit all rewards in eBudde.

 Final rewards are shipped to the troop leader listed in eBudde and should be received and distributed to
 girls by mid-May.

Cookie Program Service Unit Chairs
This section is for service unit cookie chairs.

Service Unit Cookie Chair Basics
   1. Assist with initial order delivery.
   2. Secure and coordinate cookie booths.
   3. Assist in supporting troops during the Cookie Product Program.

Selecting a Cookie Delivery Station
       • Delivery locations should be selected and entered into eBudde by December 1, 2019.
       • Exact date and estimated time of delivery will be entered into eBudde by council after initial
         orders are submitted and delivery agents confirm the schedule.
     Delivery locations should be:
       • Easily accessible for trucks to deliver and volunteers to pick up cookies.
       • Clean, reasonably well-lit, watertight, and insect-free with a sturdy and clean floor.
       • A secure location closed off from public access.
       • Please make sure to secure enough help for the day of delivery. Delivery drivers will unload from
         the truck, but Girl Scout help will be needed to divide orders by troops.
       • Count and sign for all cookies before giving orders to a troop.
       • Troops will need to count and sign for the cookies they pick up.
       • Troops are responsible for all the cases they sign for at pickup. Please make sure the counts are
         correct!
       • Make sure signed receipts and copies are given to the troop and the service unit.

                                                                                                          33
Cookie Booths
 Service unit cookie chairs or booth coordinators should make contact with local businesses to set up
 booth opportunities.
 Be sure to inquire about:
        • Dates and times of availability.
        • Exact location of the set up area.
        • When and where signs may be displayed.
        • Name of contact person and any restrictions for the location.
        • GSK Certificate of Insurance information, if needed.
 Be sure to cover safety at booths in your trainings with troops.
        • Booth should have proper girl/adult ratio. At least two adults must be at every booth.
        • Money collected should be managed by adults at the booth.
        • Encourage polite and well-behaved Girl Scouts.

 Distributing Booth Locations to Troops
 Decide well ahead of booth sign ups the method your SU will use to offer booths to troops. Troops need
 to know of any requirements for booth selections. SUs should have booth draws for their troops by
 February 15. Booth information must be forwarded to council for upload into eBudde. Any open spots
 will be available to any troop council-wide. Personal troop connection excludes large businesses (e.g.
 Walmart, Republic Bank, or Kroger) Permission for My Sales (troop booths) will be approved by the
 service unit through the Booth Sites section in eBudde. Troop booths must be entered at least 48 hours
 before requested day/time.
