Program Information
The Girl Scout Cookie Program® is an awesome starting point for building on these
five essential skills that girls can use for a lifetime:
Goal setting—as she sets cookie sale goals and makes a plan to reach them.
Decision-making—as she decides how her team will spend the cookie money.
Money management—as she makes a budget, takes orders and handles customers’ money.
People skills—as she learns to talk and listen to all kinds of people while selling cookies.
Business ethics—as she is honest and responsible every step of the way.

How To Get Started
Troop Pre-Sale
NEW TROOPS
GSSC policy requires each troop to have a bank account. If your troop leader has not already opened an account, help
her to get an account set up. For assistance, please contact the Membership Department at membership@gssc.us.
Rebates will only be direct deposited to the troop bank account when the troop bill has been paid in full.
ALL TROOPS
LJLJIf you have not already fill out an ACH attachment form from the Fall Product Sale Program, please send
to the Product Sales Department in Commack or email to productsales@gssc.us
LJLJAll Troop Fall Chairs must fill out the Troop Manager job description and hand it in to the Service Unit
Cookie Chair - They will then be added into the eBudde system to have access to their troop’s information.
•• We recommend creating a new email address to help you manage the Cookie Program. This helps emails from getting
overlooked in your personal email account.
LJLJAll girls who wish to participate must be registered with GSUSA. For assistance, email membership@gssc.us.
•• Arrange with the Troop Leader the date, time & location for training your Girl Scouts & parents/guardians.
(see page 12 for more information)
LJLJFind out first on Facebook! “Like” Girl Scouts of Suffolk County for the latest information on the GSSC
Product Programs.
•• Check your email often throughout the program for important updates and critical date reminders from your Service
Unit Fall Chair and GSSC.
CADETTE & OLDER TROOPS
•• Older girl troops have the option of opting out of recognitions and earning an additional $0.05 per box. To opt out
of rewards, go to your Settings tab, click “edit settings,” then check the box “ Opt out of rewards for additional
proceeds.” Save by hitting “update.”
Initial Sale
•• When you initially sign into eBudde, every troop will use the password – Toff7926 (case-sensitve)
◦◦ Each volunteer, with a signed agreement on file, should have access to the eBudde system -
https://ebudde.littlebrownie.com. If you have trouble logging in, please email productsales@gssc.us.
UNDER THE INITIAL ORDERS TAB - All orders must be entered in BOXES not cases
1. Click a girl’s name; you will see an entry row load at the bottom of the screen. Click one of the squares to
begin entry.
2. Enter the total cookies sold by the girl in BOXES for each variety, including Operation Cookie (the first
column listed OC) Press tab or use your computer mouse to go to the next column. When you’re finished
with the girl, press ENTER on the keyboard or the OK button on the screen.
3. Repeat for each girl.
4. SAVE the page. You can still make edits after hitting SAVE, even if you log out of the system.
This allows you to partially enter your order, leave and come back later to complete or make changes.
5. Review the totals at the bottom of the screen for your order. If correct, click SUBMIT ORDER.
This means the order is FINAL. You cannot change the order once it has been submitted. Contact your
Service Unit Cookie Chair or the Product Sales Department if changes are necessary after this point.
10How To Get Started
Initial Sale (cont’d)
LJLJWhen the initial sale product arrives, your SU Cookie Chair will contact you to arrange the pickup for the
troop’s product - Initial deliveries begin the week of February 12.
LJLJSet up a time and date with the families in your troop to pick up their orders - Have them sign for all
product received and issue receipts for payments given to you. Always keep records of transactions and
receipts.
LJLJAll initial sale money is due by March 5 - You will be given deposit slips to use at any Capital One Bank. Be
sure the deposit slip has your troop number encoded on the bottom left of the slip. If it doesn’t, don’t use
it! Email productsales@gssc.us for additional deposit slips. Money can also be paid at www.gssc.us.
SPECIAL NOTE
It is suggested by Council that you round down your initial order. The system will automatically total
the troop order and round it up to the nearest full case. Please adjust your order downward to full cases.
Catch Up Orders
LJLJAsk for the parent/guardian’s help in keeping things organized - Choose dates that you will go to the
cupboard and have the parents/guardians email you with the additional products that they need. Have
them sign receipts. Always keep a record of what is picked up.
LJLJBe sure to allocate any additional product from the cupboards to the girls so they will receive the proper
rewards at the end of the season. Visit www.gssc.us for directions on how to allocate product from catch
up orders and booth sales.
Troop Wrap Up
LJLJVerify that all cookies ordered have been allocated to the girls.
LJLJAll money should be deposited into any Capital One Bank using the deposit slip assigned to your troop by
May 14. Payments can also be made at www.gssc.us.
LJLJBe sure to hand in copies of your deposit slips to your Service Unit Cookie Chair. GSSC will verify that they
have been properly applied to your troop.
LJLJGirl recognitions will be shipped directly to your Service Unit Cookie Chair. Once received, they will
distribute them to the troops accordingly.
11How To Get Started
Parent/Guardian & Girl Training
••A great way to get your Cookie Product Sale moving is to get your girls and their families
super excited. Here are some tips and tricks:
LJLJHost a Cookie Program Training night for girls and their families - Explain the purpose of the
program as a troop opportunity to generate funds and hand out program materials. This
can also be done at the end of a regularly scheduled troop meeting.
LJLJCollect and hold onto a signed Parent/Guardian Agreement - DO NOT give out any product
without having this form on file. This is what saves the troop from owing money that a
family does not pay.
LJLJInspire! Encourage! Motivate! You are the face of the program - Your program introduction
will have significant effect on the girls’ enthusiasm and parent/guardian support. Be sure
to share your contact information with the families for any additional questions they may
have.
LJLJExplain to the families that the rewards are cumulative - For example: If a girl sells 100
boxes, she will receive all the rewards up to and including the 100 reward. This is up to 350
boxes. Girls who sell over 500+ boxes get to choose a premium reward and will be invited
to our All-Star celebration! For example: if a girl sells 1,000 boxes she can choose one 1,000
level reward or two 500 level rewards.
LJLJReview the 5 Skills with the girls - Goal Setting, Decision Making, Money Management,
People Skills and Business Ethics. These valuable skills learned at the heart of every product
program will last a lifetime!
LJLJTroops & girls should set individual and collective Cookie Program goals - Ask the girls to
vote on how they would like to use the program proceeds. Reinforce how individual goals
help the troop achieve its overall goal and fund troop activities.
LJLJReview all important dates and deadlines - Meeting deadlines is critical to the success of
the program; stress the importance of timeliness to families.
LJLJExplain about Operation Cookie.
LJLJExplain what Catch Up Orders are and when they will start.
LJLJReview cash handling procedures - Set clear expectations for conduct and collection of
monies due to the troop. Checks should be made out to GSSC.

Gift of Caring
Girl Scouts can help honor our service women and men by asking
each customer if he or she would purchase a box of cookies to send
to US military through Operation:Cookie.
Donating a box to our service personnel is the perfect suggestion
for those customers who say they are on a diet or buy their cookies
from a Girl Scout in another council. This program lasts throughout
the cookie campaign, from January through May.

Cookie House Parties help girls sell by the case.
A Cookie House Party is a sweet strategy that
encourages girls to invite their best customers to
new a cookie-themed gathering to have fun, enjoy
snacks—and buy cookies by the case! Girls share
their BIG goals, and customers make BIG purchases.
From invitations to yummy recipes,
Little Brownie makes it easy!
A fun promotional video with lots of ideas in action will inspire
you and the girls alike. Would girls like to try this strategy for big
sales? What marketing ideas can they brainstorm?
The complete Cookie House Party Hostess Guide provides
step-by-step guidance and lots of fun resources. Find
more at Blog.LittleBrownieBakers.com.
So there are 12 boxes in a case, 12 months in a year...
Little Brownie has created a year’s worth of recipes
girls can give away to customers who buy a whole case.
Find these resources and more on the volunteer page
of LittleBrownie.com.
