Best practices during the Initial Early Order phase:
• Talk with your Girl Scouts about setting goals for themselves and for the troop.                                                                           D9                Marni Ziegler               63031
• Discuss what goals your troop has for next year—are you planning a big trip or a service project? How can
   the cookie program support your goals?                                                                                                                    D10               Jodi Soltwisch              63052
• Set clear expectations and guidelines for parents/caretakers about deadlines to turn in order cards, how
   many booths your troop will run and how to contact you.                                                                                                   D10               Michelle Jones              63051

Best practices during the Goal-Getter and Cookie Booth phase:
• Starting Feb. 14, Girl Scouts will have the option to use the Digital Cookie In Hand payment feature through                                               D13               Robin Ackermann             63090
   the app when delivering cookies to customers. Taking credit card payments through the Digital Cookie app
   means payments are automatically communicated to council and show up in eBudde!                                                                           D12               Carolyn Pickel              63021
• Set clear expectations and guidelines for parents/caretakers about deadlines to turn in additional orders
   and payments. Remember, these orders will not automatically appear in eBudde and you may need to pick                                                     D14               Michelle Deken              63366
   up packages from Cookie Cupboards. Let parents know if there is a certain day of the week you are willing
   to make cupboard pickups, or set trusted parents as pickup users in eBudde to allow them to pick up                                                       D14               Nathan Schremp              63385

• Track your inventory closely and make sure to keep receipts for all product given out and money received.                                                  D15               Heather Ervin               63501
   Cookies cannot be returned at the end of the season, so make sure to use the Cookie Exchange feature in                                                   D16               Ros Hamilton                63448
   eBudde to see if another troop could use your cookies.
• Make regular deposits to your troop bank account when you receive payments from families and booths.                                                       D17               Deb Ziebarth                63552
• Ask for family help for booths—create a sign up system for them to volunteer (any adults helping with Girl
   Scout activities need to be registered members and background checked).                                                                                   D17               Shannon McGee               63401
• Keep the Cookie Program girl-led—set realistic expectations for your Girl Scouts based on their age level
   and involve them in every part of the program. Show your Girl Scouts how to make change at booths, help                                                   D18               Karen Diamond               63362
