2018 SUPPLEMENT
THE FIVE SKILLS
Goal Setting: Girls set cookie sales goals and with their team create a plan to reach them. Knowing
how to set and reach goals are important skills needed to succeed in school, on the job and in life.
Decision Making: Girls decide where and when to sell cookies, how to market their business, and
what to do with their earnings. Girls will make many decisions, big and small, throughout their lives.
Practicing this in a safe environment will help girls learn how to make good choices.
Money Management: Girls develop a budget, take cookie orders and handle customers’ money.
Learning to budget and how to handle money will help girls manage their money—from their
lunch money to their allowance, and someday their paycheck.
People Skills: Girls learn how to talk (and listen!) to their customers, as well as how to work with
other girls. This helps them do better in school (on group projects, on sports teams, and on the
playground) and later, at work and other collaborative environments.
Business Ethics: Girls act honestly and responsibly during every step of the Cookie Program.
This matters because employers want to hire ethical employees—and the world needs ethical
leaders in every field.
1COOKIE SEASON 2018
Dear Girl Scout Volunteers,
Thank you for changing the lives of so many girls. Your work at Girl Scouts creates leaders and
innovators, and ultimately great women who will make the world a better place.
The Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE) gives girls a variety of experiences. Girls earn badges, go
on exciting trips, explore the outdoors, work on community service projects and, yes, sell cookies. Many
people think of the Cookie Program as just another fundraiser, but it’s so much more. Beyond learning
important life skills, the Girl Scout Cookie Program is the only income generating program where girls
decide how to spend a portion of the proceeds they earned. That’s because at Girl Scouts, everything is
girl-led, including the Cookie Program.
When girls have a voice and decide what to do with the money they earn, they become courageous,
confident, lead with character, and become empowered to transform their ideas into action. It’s all part
of helping girls unleash their inner G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)TM–potential that is
realized by practicing grit like a go-getter, problem solving like an innovator, embracing new things like a
risk-taker, and demonstrating empathy like a leader.
Girls can’t get there without you. Your mentorship is important because you create the environment
and structure where girls feel comfortable, can take charge, make mistakes, reflect, and refocus when
2018 SUPPLEMENT
needed. Girl-led is not always easy, but it’s worth it! When you encourage girls to take the lead, they will
gain the confidence they need to:
• Set and reach goals
• Make good decisions
• Manage money
• Ask for what they want and listen to others
• Become ethical leaders
Thank you for helping girls develop leadership skills today so they can become trailblazers, innovators,
entrepreneurs, architects, creators, and pioneers tomorrow. With your support, girls will build the self-
confidence and know-how to pursue their dreams.
Your sister in Girl Scouting,
Deb Esparza
Senior Associate
2 GIRL SCOUTS–ARIZONA CACTUS-PINE COUNCIL, INC.TAKE THE LEAD LIKE A GIRL SCOUT!
Girl Scouts are big thinkers, groundbreakers, and role models. Girl Scouts design robots, start garage
bands, and improve their communities—and yes, they sell the best cookies on the planet.
2018 SUPPLEMENT
When she’s a Girl Scout, she’s also a G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™.
GO-GETTER
She’s bold, honest, and determined to succeed. In her mind failure is no reason not
to get back up and try again, and again, and again. That explains why half of all U.S.
businesswomen were Girl Scouts.
INNOVATOR
Thinking outside the box is her specialty, so she’s always looking for a creative way to take
action. A clear correlation: 75 percent of current female senators were Girl Scouts.
RISK-TAKER
Courageous and strong, she’s keen to try new things and embrace the unfamiliar. It’s no
wonder that nearly all of the 40 women who have flown in space were Girl Scouts.
LEADER
She’s confident, responsible, and committed to changing the world. Here’s proof:
Every year, Girl Scouts collectively spend more than 75 million hours improving
their communities.
These traits define girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world
a better place. This is the Girl Scout DNA.

COOKIES FOR THE COMMUNITY
Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine proudly supports St. Vincent de Paul, St Mary’s Food Bank, the USO,
Packages from Home and a multitude of other important local charities through our Cookies for the
Community program.
BOOTHING UPDATES
Please see the Program Manual for detailed information about boothing. Remember to be a sister to all
troops when boothing,
SELF-SCHEDULED BOOTHS
Troops may begin self-scheduling booths as soon as they have completed training. Please enter your
booths into eBudde as soon as possible. This helps speed up the approval process for everyone.
Help your sister scouts; we are in this together! Many of our troops have established relationships with
local Store Managers and Business Owners. If you find a business is willing to allocate more boothing
opportunities than you can schedule within your troop, please don’t let the opportunity slip by. Contact
the productprogram@girlscoutsaz.org and let us know so we can open the times you can’t use to other
troops.
4 GIRL SCOUTS–ARIZONA CACTUS-PINE COUNCIL, INC.COUNCIL-SCHEDULED BOOTHS IN THE EXTENDED AREA
If you live in Metro Phoenix and your troop loves to travel and booth, please feel free to venture out of
town, but be considerate of the girls living in the local communities and allow the extended areas to
select booths in their town first. Troops may select booths Council-wide on December 9. Troops living in
the extended areas should select booths in eBudde for local troops as soon as possible.
COUNCIL SCHEDULED BOOTHS
Releasing booths: If you can’t staff a booth, release it immediately in eBudde so another troop may
take the opportunity. Even if it’s at the last minute, please release the booth. Council scheduled booths
are hard to come by. Many troops keep a watchful eye on eBudde looking for these last minute boothing
opportunities and will be happy to take your booth. Releasing a booth in eBudde is very easy–you can
even do it using your phone. So, please be a sister scout and don’t let those booth opportunities go to
waste. Release any booths you can’t use in eBudde, even those last-minute cancellations.
How to cancel your booth in eBudde: Log into eBudde, find the spot you want to cancel, unclick the
slot(s) and click “Submit.”
OPEN BOOTH ROUNDS
Open Rounds means that the Product Program Team will no longer audit the number of booth
selections a troop makes; however, we still need to be a sister to every troop. Be strategic, select what
you need, and allow others to do the same. Open Rounds doesn’t mean it’s a free-for-all. Selecting every
unopen booth, regardless if you can staff it, is not appropriate.
INITIAL ORDER INFORMATION
Initial orders are important! A strong initial order will save you time and energy. If you place a strong
initial order, your troop will have enough cookies to cover your demand for the first few weeks of the
program. And that means spending less time re-stocking at the cupboard and more time with girls.
Your strong initial order also gives the Product Program Team a snapshot of troop inventory needs for
2018 SUPPLEMENT
the season. The council-wide initial cookie order is based, in part, on the number of cookies troops
order. Troops who under-order, or don’t make an initial order at all, rely too heavily on the cupboards,
especially at the beginning of the sale. Over-reliance on the cupboards directly causes council-wide
cookie shortages.
What’s a strong initial order? The Product Program Team recommends you order 80% of your 2017
total sales, adjusted for girl participation, as your initial order. New to the Cookie Program? We have a
formula for that, too. Check out the Initial Cookie Order calculator on our website. It will give both new
and veteran troops a personalized, flavor-specific recommendation for your initial order.
If you have questions or concerns about the number of cookies you should order, talk to your Service
Unit Cookie Team. They are familiar with your area and can help you decide the right amount of
cookies for your troop.
TROOP INITIAL ORDER REWARD
160 Troop PGA
One shirt per participating girl and one additional adult shirt.
Additional adult shirts may be ordered at $7 each.
5GIRL SAFETY AND THEFT
Nothing is more important than ensuring the health and safety of girls and volunteers. If a girl or
volunteer feels threatened or compromised in any way, they should get to a safe place immediately, call
the police and contact the Product Program Team, as soon as possible.
For the majority of our girls, theft of Girl Scout Cookies or money will never be an issue; however, there
are procedures in place to mitigate loss when theft happens.
Fanny packs are recommended and should be used in place of a cash box at booths. However, if you do
use a cash box, never let it out of your sight. A small distraction can give a thief the opportunity to grab
and dash off with the cash box.
»» Starting cash: $30 in one-dollar bills. No more than $100 in your fanny pack/cash box at one time!
»» When you have more than $100, remove the money to a safe location.
»» Never leave cash in your car or in an unsecured location. Please treat cookie money the same way
you treat your own money. It’s simple! If you wouldn’t leave your own money somewhere - don’t
leave the cookie money there.
»» Do not accept bills over $20. Council will not replace counterfeit bills over $20.
When theft is reported to the Product Program Team, they will need to speak directly to the person
making the claim. It is our duty to protect the interest of all girls in the Council and thoroughly investigate
each claim independently. If an unfortunate event happens and cookie money or cookies are stolen, as
with any other theft claim, you will be asked to provide documentation, including a police report. You
may also be asked about your personal insurance as a good faith measure. This helps to validate the
claim, the amount of loss and to rule out negligence. Sadly, it’s not unheard of for the Product Program
Team to receive fraudulent claims of theft to hide the misuse of Girl Scout cookie money.
ACH DATES
2018 SUPPLEMENT
The Program Manual contains the details of the ACH process, but be aware the ACH takes a few days to
process. Money is due in the troop account the Monday before the ACH date. Money is withdrawn
from the account the following Thursday. If money is spent between Monday and Thursday, the troop
account may be overdrawn. Troops are responsible for all overdraft fees.
If you are unsure how to calculate the amount due – vist http://bit.ly/ach-calculator.
»» February 5: Money due in troop account for the first ACH withdrawal. The amount withdrawn
will be $1.00 per package of cookies ordered on the initial order and cookies picked up at the
cupboard through February 4.
»» February 8: Money is withdrawn from troop account for first ACH.
»» February 19: Money due in troop account for the second ACH withdrawal. $1.50 per package of

»» March 12: The remaining amount due in the troop account. Check the eBudde sales report to find
out the amount due.

6 GIRL SCOUTS–ARIZONA CACTUS-PINE COUNCIL, INC.DIGITAL COOKIE
With the Digital Cookie (DOC) platform, the Girl Scout Cookie Program you know and love is better than
ever. Fun, easy-to-use tools help your Girl Scout augment her cookie business beyond the booth, with
online and mobile channels that make it easy for cookie fans near and far to contribute to her success.
Your Girl Scout will use the DOC platform to build a personalized business page where she can earn
badges, set goals, use bar graphs and pie charts to track boxes sold and document service projects.
Plus, she’ll have fun playing cookie trivia and other games.
All registered Girl Scouts will receive an email in January inviting them to participate in this exciting
program. This secure online system allows girls to design personalized online storefronts to share their
cookie program goals and invite customers to support them.
Girls can begin building their website on January 8 and start sending emails on January 23.
»» Girls who setup their Digital Cookie website and send 25 emails will earn the Cookie Techie patch.
»» Girls who sell 200 or more packages of cookies through their Digital Cookie website will earn the
light up ‘Awesome’ sign.
Digital Cookie Mobile App: Girls can use their Digital Cookie mobile app on walkabouts and for
in-person sales! After girls have set up the Digital Cookie website, they can download the app and use
2018 SUPPLEMENT
the same log-in as their Digital Cookie website.
In the unfortunate event that a girl transfers out of the troop but has Digital Cookie sales, please contact
productprogram@girlscoutsaz.org.
THE CUSTOMER DIGITAL COOKIE EXPERIENCE
Customers must receive an email from a Girl Scout. Customers cannot go directly to a girl’s storefront.
Online storefronts will share cookie and service project goals and customers can see a picture or video
of their favorite Girl Scout.
All digital cookies are paid for online with a credit card and can be delivered in two ways:
»» Cookies are shipped directly to the customer. This is the perfect option for out-of-town friends
and family who want to support their favorite Girl Scout! Delivery charges will apply.
»» Girls can deliver cookies to local friends and family. This will save on delivery charges, but a
parent/guardian must approve the transactions or the sale will be declined.

COOKIE PROGRAM MANUAL | 2018 SUPPLEMENT 11GIRL SCOUT COOKIE GLOSSARY
ACH: ACH is the acronym for ‘Automated Clearing House’ and transfers money owed from the Cookie

Cookies for the Community: A cookie donation program where customers can donate cookies. There
are two Cookies for the Community programs: Council Cookies for the Community and Troop Cookies for
the Community.
Council Cookies for the Community: A cookie donation program where Council donates the cookies

documented in eBudde under C-CFC. Council takes care of the donation.

They are generally booths at the large grocery chains and the booth schedule was arranged with their

Delivery occurs over two days; and troops are scheduled to pick up their cookies at a designated date,

Initial Order: The cookie order that troops place prior to the sale. This order should include the majority of cookies the troop will need to fulfill girl orders and the first few weeks of booths. Troops can use the Initial Order Calculator on our website to help determine the number of cookies to order by flavor. The cookies will arrive with Delivery. Initial Order Calculator: A calculator located on our website that can help troops determine the number of cookies (flavor specific) that they should make on their Initial Order.

THE GIRL SCOUT LAWS and the Cookie Program
Many people have for asked for guidelines to be used throughout the Cookie Program. We believe the Girl Scout Law
is the best source of guidance.
I will do my best to be honest and fair - I don’t take cookie orders before the start date of The Cookie Program.
friendly and helpful - I say “please” when asking a customer to buy cookies and “thank you” after they buy them.
I am helpful by describing the different types of cookies and how we plan to use the funds we raise.
considerate and caring - I only take as many cookies as I can sell and only sign up for the booths that I can attend.
I don’t expect someone else to sell my leftover cookies.
courageous and strong - I smile and say “thank you,” even if a customer doesn’t purchase Girl Scout Cookies from me.
and responsible for what I say and do - every week, I turn in my cookie money and let my troop know how many
cookies I have left to sell.
and to respect myself and others - I am always on my best behavior at cookie booths and on walkabouts.
respect authority - I follow the rules set by my Troop Leaders and parents. I am respectful of the businesses that
allow us to booth in front of their stores and am always friendly to their customers.
use resources wisely - I set realistic individual goals and troop goals. I also help the environment by recycling empty
cookie boxes.
make the world a better place - I support our community by participating in the Cookies for the Community donation
program and in service projects funded by our troop proceeds.
and be a sister to every Girl Scout - I support my Girl Scout sisters in their cookie sales. And I know some of the
money I help raise will benefit all my Girl Scout sisters in our Council so that we can enjoy Girl Scout programs in safe
and fun environments.
