Digital Cookie
• The Digital Cookie platform helps girls superpower their cookie
sales with mobile and online channels.
• Girls run and manage their Girl Scout Cookie business online.
Gift of Caring: Operation Sweet Treats
• Donations to Operation Sweet Treats can be made from January 5
until March 17.
• Girl Scouts can take orders for this through every part of the program.
• Troops will collect money for these orders, but will not receive the
cookies, which will be in our virtual warehouse.
• At the end of the program, GSofSI will send all of the donated
cookies to H.E.R.O.E.S Care in Fenton, MO.
Cookie Booths
• Cookie booths allow girls an opportunity to work together as a team
to reach their goals, while being visible in the community!
• The Girl Scout Cookie Booth is not just a “booth,” it’s the girls'
storefront for their business.
• Girl Scouts are honest and fair. We have made a commitment to
those people and companies allowing us to host Cookie Booths at
their locations. We will only sell on the dates and times in which
they have agreed to and respect their property and customers.
Remember, Girl Scouts leave places better than they found them.
Workplace and Corporate Sales
• Girls may leave an order card at a family member’s workplace,
with employer permission, so employees can purchase cookies.
Girls should play an active role in distribution and fulfillment of
orders. Girls can utilize the business skills they are learning to
connect with larger scale customers.
• Companies may also be interested in purchasing cookies as gifts,
customer giveaways, or charitable contributions to the Business
Gift of Caring Program.

• Cookie swaps and transfers between Troops are encouraged.
• Please use the Cookie Exchange tab in eBudde if you are looking to exchange cookies with another Troop.
Please Abide By the Girl Scout Law
Girls and adults are expected to act respectfully and abide by the Girl Scout Law at all times. Please remember
to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, respectful of others, and a sister to every Girl
Scout. Please model good behavior and assume good intent; mistakes and misunderstandings happen to everyone.
Please be patient and kind.
Disregard of any cookie program standards and guidelines outlined in this manual may result in loss of booth
privileges, loss of highest girl reward earned, loss of Troop proceeds, and/or removal from the cookie program,
as determined on a case-by-case basis.
Zero Tolerance for Misuse of Girl Funds
GSofSI has a zero tolerance policy for misuse of girl funds; any adult accepting responsibility for handling money
is accountable for its proper use and safekeeping. Unresolved debt under $1,000 will be referred to a collections
agency. Unresolved debt above $1,000 will be turned over to law enforcement for prosecution. Misuse of funds
may result in legal action with law enforcement and termination of volunteer service. This policy includes both
parent/caregiver and Troop leader debt. Unpaid debt may jeopardise the opportunity to serve as a GSofSI volunteer.
In order to minimize the risk of loss, Troop Cookie Managers should regularly collect payments from caregivers
throughout the sale and make prompt deposits into the Troop’s bank account.
Please provide weekly/monthly financial updates to families for full transparency.
We appreciate your understanding and support of the Girl Scout Cookie Program. The intent of the program
standards are to ensure a positive experience for all.
8SAFETY GUIDELINES
Be sure girls understand and follow these safety rules:
Show you’re a Girl Scout: Wear uniforms, Girl Scout membership pin and/or Girl Scout clothing to identify
yourself as a Girl Scout.
Buddy up: Always use the buddy system. It’s not just more safe, it’s more fun.
Be streetwise: Become familiar with the areas and neighborhoods where you will be selling Girl Scout Cookies.
Partner with adults: If you are a Girl Scout Daisy, Brownie or Junior you must be accompanied by an adult
when taking orders or selling/delivering product. If you are a Girl Scout Cadette, Senior or Ambassador you must
“buddy up” when selling door-to-door. Adults must be present at all times during cookie booth sales.
Plan ahead: Always have a plan for safeguarding money. Avoid walking around with large amounts of money or
keeping it at home or school. Give proceeds to supervising adults who should deposit it as soon as possible.
Do not enter: Never enter the home or vehicle of a person when you are selling or making deliveries. Avoid
selling to people in vehicles or going into alleys.
Sell in the daytime: Sell only during daylight hours, unless accompanied by an adult.
Protect privacy: Girls’ names, addresses and email addresses should never be given out to customers. Use a
group contact number or address overseen by an adult for customers to request information, reorder or give
comments. Protect customer privacy by not sharing their information except for the product sale. Girls should
never take write down card numbers.
Be safe on the road: Always follow safe pedestrian practices, especially when crossing at intersections or
walking along roadways. Be aware of traffic when unloading product and passengers from vehicles.
Be net wise: Take the Girl Scout Internet Safety Pledge before going online and follow the specific guidelines
related to marketing online at http://girlscouts.org/help/internet_safety_pledge.asp

What is a Cookie Cupboard?
Cookie Cupboards are locations where Troops can pick up more cookies to fill girls’ additional cookie orders
AND pick-up cookies needed for booth sales. These locations are local homes, community buildings or GSofSI
facilities throughout Southern Illinois which offer convenient places and times for Troops to pick up additional
cookies. They are maintained by GSofSI staff or a volunteer. Designated Troop volunteers with a signed Troop
Cookie Manager Agreement on file with our council can pick up additional cookies on the Troop’s behalf.
Cupboards will begin to be stocked between February 14-16. Cupboard hours of operation vary and are determined
by the Cupboard Manager. Please be courteous to the cupboard managers' property, time and schedule.
Cupboard Guidelines
• Cupboard pickups are made by the case only. Remember, there are 12 boxes per case.
• Pickups should be made by the TCM or Troop Leader.
• Caregivers pick up cookies from their TCM; not from the cupboard.
• No returns are allowed at any GSofSI cupboards. Exceptions will be made for damaged cookies which must be
exchanged for the same variety.
• Please remember to count the cases with the Cupboard Manager and sign a receipt every time. Keep these
receipts for your records.
• Your cupboard manager will update inventory in eBudde.
• Although every effort is made to keep the cupboards well-stocked, there may be times cupboard inventory is
limited or unavailable. Please make sure to communicate with your cupboard manager ahead of time if you
have a large order.
• Be aware of Troop inventory. TCMs are responsible for all cookies ordered by the Troop. Please double check
your Troop inventory before picking up additional cookies at the cupboard.
• Cupboard managers are always happy to see you! It is better to make more frequent trips to the cupboard than
to have excess inventory at the end of the sale.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Document EVERY SINGLE transaction
Caregivers should verify counts (money and cookies) and sign a receipt for every transaction. This protects the
Troop and the caregiver in the event of a discrepancy.
Keep deadlines in mind
Create firm deadlines for caregivers. Think about sale dates, when ACH cookie payments are due, and your schedule.
Don’t check out more from your cupboard than you can reasonably sell
Please remember you can always pick up more cookies at a cupboard. It may be more beneficial for your Troop to
make frequent, smaller pickups, rather than large orders, to avoid having excess inventory at the end of the sale.
Practice good record keeping at booths
Make sure you keep track of inventory during booth sales at all times. Take cookies to booths according to traffic
levels at the location. If possible, designate an additional adult to be a “runner“ to pick up more cookies if necessary.
Regularly count Troop inventory
Count, count, and recount! Make sure that your receipts, eBudde, and physical inventory reconcile on a weekly
basis. This will keep you organized and save you a lot of potential stress!
Troop-to-Troop Transfers
We encourage cookie swaps and transfers between Troops by the box or the case. Remember that the Troop
receiving boxes from other Troops also receives the financial responsibility for them.
(continued on next page) 12How to Transfer Cookies in eBudde
How to enter a Cookie Transfer:
1. Go to the Transaction tab and click "Add a Transaction.:
2. Select the types as normal and enter under "2nd Party to Troop." Enter the Troop number of the receiving Troop.
Remember, all the Troops in eBudde are five digit numbers. Ex: if the Troop is 8447, enter 08447.
3. Under Product Movement, select "Remove Product" because you are removing product from your inventory.
4. Click OK to save the transaction, then click "Save" to complete the transaction.
5. Both parties will now see the transaction in eBudde.
MONEY MANAGEMENT
Please understand that cookie money is girl money, and that any misuse or failure to appropriately deposit funds
may result in legal action or prosecution taken by Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois.
Make weekly deposits of all funds collected from cookies into your Troop’s bank account. DO NOT leave large
sums of money in places that may be unsafe. This includes your vehicle and your home.
Troops must deposit all monies from cookie sales including Troop proceeds. Troops should not spend Troop
proceeds until all cookie balances are paid in full with GSofSI.
Troop Cookie Managers should regularly collect payments from caregivers throughout the sale to minimize
the risk of loss and/or outstanding balances.
Outstanding Balances
If payments due are not turned in, caregivers must be reported to GSofSI as having an outstanding balance.
GSofSI may actively pursue collection efforts through legal avenues. If a girl is delinquent with her payment to
the Troop, the Troop Cookie Manager will need to send a Product Program Collection Form to the Service Unit
Cookie Manager. As GSofSI uses Automated Clearing House (ACH) electronic funds transfer(see following page)
you must also submit the ACH adjustment request form to GSofSI within FIVE business days from the sweep
date. You must submit an adjustment form by March 1, 2019 by 3 p.m. if the outstanding balance is from your
initial cookie order. For final sweep adjustments due to caregiver debt, adjustment forms must be submitted
by March 15, 2019 by 3 p.m.
Transactions
For each transaction, Troop Cookie Managers and caregivers should count cookies and money together, then
complete a receipt for the transaction. This way everyone is on the same page!
• All checks should be written to “Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois - Troop #”.
• Try not to accept bills larger than $20 (to avoid counterfeit bills).
• Cookie money should NEVER be deposited into personal bank accounts.
• Every Troop should have Check Redi on their bank account - this will help with bounced checks written by parents.
• Troops should not accept checks over $500 from a caregiver. Check Redi will only cover bounces up to the
amount. Have caregivers write multiple checks if necessary.
• Note: Troops that do get parent/customer checks which come back with Non-sufficient funds (NSF), can also
send those to their States Attorney’s Office for collection.
When Is Cookie Money Due?
There are two stages during the sale where there will be an ACH withdrawal from the Troop’s bank account for
payment of cookies. Here are the dates and amounts due:
March 6: 50% of your initial order due
March 21: Remaining balance due to council from initial order, January Kick-Off and booth cookies
The Product Program Team will upload a confirmation of payments to eBudde. These will show under the
“Deposits” tab in eBudde. With each ACH payment, you will see that a reduction to the Troop’s balance reflected
on your “Sales Report” tab.
All DOC and NSF transactions can be viewed from the "Deposit" tab and "Sales Report" tab.
13RECEIPTS
Money or Product Receipt
You will give this receipt to a girl/caregiver when they pick up
cookies from you. The TCM will keep the white copy and the
caregiver gets the yellow copy. Again, please keep these receipts
for your records even after the sale is over.
You will get a receipt whenever you pick up cookies from
your designated cookie cupboard. You may also print your
own receipt from the eBudde cupboard transaction. Please
save these receipts for your records even after the sale is
over in case there is a discrepancy or a caregiver debt.
Cupboard managers may use a printed eBudde transaction receipt instead of a product receipt. The receipts
work the same way. You may also print this receipt out from home when you place your cupboard order.

t-shirt for each girl who sells 20 boxes, plus one for the Troop Leader!
Final Troop Reward
Troops averaging 200+ PGA at the end of the cookie program will receive
$5 in cookie dough for each girl selling (20 boxes qualifies as selling).
If a Troop averages 300+ PGA at the end of the program, they will receive an additional $5 in Cookie Dough for each

Please have rewards distributed by June 1. If you are missing or have received a defective reward, please report it to
your Service Unit Product Manager IMMEDIATELY. Reporting missing/defective rewards to the vendor must be done
within 14 days of reward delivery. It is crucial to distribute rewards as soon as possible so as to promptly recognize
and resolve any issues.
Opting Out of Rewards
Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors have the choice of opting out of rewards. If these Troops decide to
opt out of rewards, they will receive an extra $0.10 per box sold. Please be aware of the following:
• Girls, caregivers, and leaders must make this decision as a whole.
• Troops who select this option WILL NOT receive any rewards, with the exception of the bar patches.
• Theme patches may be ordered for $.50 per patch. Please contact Product Program if you would like to
purchase the 2019 Theme Patch.
In order to opt out, Troop Cookie Managers need to go under the SETTINGS tab in eBudde and select “Opt out of
rewards for additional proceeds.” Once this has been done, eBudde will automatically calculate the additional 10
cents into the Troop’s proceeds. The ability to order rewards will be restricted; GSofSI's Product Program Team will
order and distribute patches and Troop Rewards.
Multi-Level Troops and Opting-Out
In regards to product programs, Troops who contain an multi-level range of girls will be classified at level of the
majority (for example, a Troop with 3 Brownies, 8 Juniors and 3 Cadettes would classify as a Junior Troop). In order
for Troops to opt out of rewards, the entire Troop must consist of a Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors majority.
Service Unit Rewards
Each Service Unit will receive a $300 advancement of proceeds in October. Then, when the cookie program is over,
each Service Unit will be credited with $.02 per box sold. The original $300 will be deducted from this total and any
additional proceeds will be sent to the Service Unit.
17BOOTH GUIDELINES and STRATEGIES
General Guidelines
• There are two types of booth sale weekends:
Council Sponsored Booth Weekends: These are booth sale weekends set by GSofSI. On these weekends,
GSofSI guarantees cookies to be stocked at all the local cupboards.
Non-Council Sponsored Booth Weekends: Girl Scout Troops can sell cookies on ANY weekend during the
Cookie Program (January 5-March 17). GSofSI cannot guarantee stock on non-council sponsored weekends.
• Two adults must be present at booths. One must be a registered, approved volunteer, and the other must have
a background check (Girl Scout membership is encouraged, but not required, for the second individual).
• Remember, Troop Cookie Managers do not have to attend all booths – enlist caregivers to help! However, the
adult designated as the money handler must be a registered Girl Scout Volunteer with a current background
check on file with GSofSI.
• ONE Senior or Ambassador Girl Scout may sell cookies at a booth with only one registered adult (18 and older) present.
• Work with your Troop Leader to decide what booth system works best for you and communicate that to your
caregivers. We recommend dividing booth times into shifts according to what is appropriate for your Troop.
• This is an opportunity to shine in the community! Girl Scouts should have fun, smile, be polite,
and demonstrate their amazing people skills. Other than water (stay hydrated!), do not bring other food or
drinks to booths. Girls should be on their best behavior – no running, yelling, or horsing around. Instead, greet
customers, be present, maybe even make up a Cookie Season jingle! Encourage girls to make eye contact with
customers—this demonstrates courage and confidence, and prepares girls to be lifelong leaders.
• Please encourage caregivers and volunteers to wear Girl Scout attire – there are plenty of fun cookie shirts in
the GSofSI Council Shop!
• Troops are required to stay within their Service Unit jurisdiction when scheduling booths. If you would like hold
a booth in a different Service Unit, please get permission from the other Service Unit first.
• Be mindful of the number of booths you are scheduling. We encourage you to strategize with Troop volunteers
and caregivers to hold an appropriate number of booths for your Troop’s size and adult availability.
How Troops Order Booth Cookies:
1. Log in to eBudde.
2. Click the "Transaction" tab.
3. Click "Add a Transaction."
4. In the "Pick-up" box, choose a date and time.
5. In the "2nd party" box, "Cupboard" needs to be selected. In the next box,
choose the cupboard in which you plan on picking up your cookies.
6. Enter your Troop order. Make sure you put your order in full cases.
7. Click "save/print." Take this receipt with you when you pick up cookies.
Cooperating With Businesses
• Please check in with store managers EVERY TIME you arrive at the location.
• Follow any guidelines that are set forth by management at the cookie booth location and GSofSI. This is KEY to
maintaining relationships with these important partners. Feel free to leave behind GSofSI information or flyers.
• Be PREPARED and ON TIME to your booth reservation. If you cannot make your scheduled time, please be fair to
your fellow Girl Scout sisters and release your time slot on eBudde so another Troop may have the opportunity.
18BOOTH GUIDELINES and STRATEGIES
Money Safety
• Keep money in a safe location. Cash boxes are an easy target. Instead, use a cash apron to keep money
nearby, and designate one person to handle all cash transactions.
• Never leave money or personal valuables unattended.
• Be cautious when taking large bills at a cookie booth to avoid counterfeit money.
What To Do If Theft Occurs?
• First, DO NOT go after the thief! The safety of you and the girls is worth much more than a cash box
or box of cookies.
• Next, secure the girls and your property (cookies, money, and personal property), and call the police.
• After that, contact GSofSI. The Product Program Team will support you through the next steps.
Cookie Booth Tips
• Talk to your girls’ caregivers about what their schedules look like prior to selecting booths.
• Use a “booth kit” (posters, tablecloth, etc.) for every booth. You might want to keep 2-4 booth kits ready to go
to make preparation easier. Have fun with your decor! Consider using Girl Scouts' G.I.R.L. art and messaging.
• Display your Troop number and Troop fund raising goals/projects prominently!

• A binder with girls’ emergency contact info and signed permission slips, booth location eBudde printout,
important phone numbers (Product Program Team, Service Unit Cookie Manager, Troop Leader, etc.)
and a tracking sheet for inventory and cash.
• Cookie recipes, pens, calculator, tape to hang signs on your table and brochures.
• Pocketed tie-on aprons for adults and older girls who take money and give change.
• A heavy-duty, zippered money bag.
• Decorative promotion signs: Girls can promote their service projects, sales strategies, goals, etc.
• A chair for the cookie adult and/or the girl on break. Girls selling should be standing.
• Smiles! Remember to always have fun.
• Bling for your booth! Decorate and create a fun, eye-catching one-stop “Cookie Shop” with your girls.
• Optional - a cookie plate for samples…customers love to try them! (Be sure to decide who is responsible for
purchasing samples.)
Don't miss Girl Scout Cookie Program promotional materials available in the GSofSI Shop in Glen Carbon or Juliette's
Closet Mobile Shop! T-shirts, car magnets, yard signs, money bags, clipboards and more can be purchased to help
give your booth extra oomph!
19COOKIE BOOTH FAQS
How do I allocate boxes to girls from booth sales?
Once a booth weekend is over, Troop leaders will need to go back into eBudde and give the boxes sold at the sale
to each girl that sold.
1. Go to the "Girl’s Order" in eBudde.
2. Click a girl’s name.
3. Click "Add Transaction."
4. Enter the number of boxes the girl should get credit for under the "Booth" column.
5. Click "OK" on the bottom right side.
6. Click "Save" on the top left.
7. Follow these steps for all the girls that are participating in the booth sales.
I have a girl in my Troop who decided not to sell. How do I delete her in eBudde?
You are not able to delete a girl in eBudde once she has already been entered into the system. As long as her
balance is zero and says that she has sold zero cookies, she will not be counted as a participant in the sale and
the Troop’s per-girl-average (PGA) will not be affected.
How do I cancel a booth that I’m registered for?
It is very similar to how you would sign up for a booth.
1. Go into eBudde in the “Booth Sites” tab.
2. Click on the location and time that you’re signed up for and uncheck the box.
3. Once you have removed your Troop number from the box, hit “submit”. This will cancel the booth.
What is 5 for five and how does it work?
The 5 for five campaign will run during the February/March Council Sponsored Cookie Booth Weekends.
Customers who purchase five boxes of cookies will have a chance to win five cases of cookies. Once the cookies
are purchased, customers will receive a business card with a QR code (as well as a website URL). That code will
link the customer to a web page to complete their entry form to be eligible to win. Cards will be available at your
local cupboard to pick up.
What should I do if I’m at a booth and we feel uncomfortable because it is dark?
You are never required to stay at a booth if you feel uncomfortable. Please feel free to leave your booth location
if there is anything there making you uneasy.
I’m at an awesome booth and I ran out of cookies. What do I do?
Please be aware of the inventory present at each cookie booth. If you have a very successful booth and begin to run
out of inventory before the booth is over, you can contact another adult in your Troop to drop off additional cookies.
Our booth did not sell as many cookies as we'd hoped. Now what?
The best thing to do in this situation is to keep it positive when talking with the girls in the Troop. Praise their effort
and focus on the positive that you did sell some cookies, and then open up the dialogue about what techniques they
could have tried differently.
If you find yourself with extra inventory you can always sign up for additional booths and try your girls' new ideas.
You can also consider transferring cookies to another Troop. Please use the "Cookie Exchange" tab in eBudde if you
are looking to exchange cookies with another Troop.
Can Troops contact businesses to host cookie booths at their location?
Yes you can! Troops can contact any stores that are not on our council sponsored booth list. As soon as your Troop
has found their location you will need to add this information in eBudde in the tab under “My Sales.” Once this is
done, GSofSI or your Service Unit Cookie Manager will approve or deny this location. If your site is approved, the
information will be uploaded into the Cookie Finder App provided by Little Brownie Bakers.
20COOKIE BOOTH FAQs
Can my Troop accept credit cards at booth sales?
Yes! Your Troop can opt to accept credit cards at your booth sales! For some Troops, this is a great way to reach
higher sales, provide great customer service and reach more customers. In addition, working with credit card
processors can help girls get hands-on experience with technology, help customers make purchases more easily
and eliminate the chance of counterfeit money or bounced checks. Please keep in mind that using any credit card
processor involves fees, and Troops should evaluate those fees prior to making a decision regarding credit/debit
card sales. Troops will be responsible for the setup, tracking and fees related to their merchant account.
Here are a couple of popular outside processor companies (please note that Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois is not
endorsing or promoting the use of these processors, but simply stating some popular options):
Square - https://squareup.com/
PayPal Here - https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/credit-card-reader
Watch for more information about credit card processing at www.gsofsi.org.
Can Troops exchange cookies to help meet booth needs?
Yes! Troops can exchange cookies if they find that they are running low or have excess amounts of a certain variety
of cookie. Take advantage of the new "Cookie Exchange" tab in eBudde:
To offer cookies to other Troops:
1. Click the "Cookie Exchange" tab in ebudde.
2. Enter the number of packages that you would like to offer to another Troop and click "submit."
3. Once the exchange has taken place, the Troop that offered the cookies will need to go back to the
"Cookie Exchange" tab and zero out the offerings. If all cookies are gone, zero through each variety. If only a
few of the varieties are gone, only zero out what you exchanged.
To find cookies from other Troops:
1. Click Cookie Exchange tab in eBudde.
2. Click on the variety of cookie you are looking for.
3. eBudde provides the email address of the Troop leader that has cookies available. Troops looking for cookies will
set up the exchange through this email.
4. Once the exchange is complete, the Troop leader that received cookies will enter the transaction in eBudde.
(See Inventory Management on page 13 for transaction instructions).
