We appreciate your organization, coordination, and determination to help girls, and our council, reach the goals necessary to make the Girl Scout Movement strong.
Troop Initial Order
Let’s get right to it—how do I get my cookies? With the eBudde online platform! It’s easier now than ever to manage cookie inventory, find your delivery location, and transfer to other troops (so we can all help a Girl Scout sister out)!

Captains
Check out the Little Brownie Bakers website for a fun video and an awesome guide, notebook, flyer and more just for Cookie Captains!
Cookie Captains are girls and troops that are experienced cookie bosses. At your local Cookie Rally, Cookie Captains will have special activities and receive a patch.
Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors have the opportunity to become Cookie Captains and earn additional program credits! Because the largest girl-led business in the world is a major part of Girl Scouts and greatly benefits our council, we want to provide older girls an opportunity to share their expertise with younger girls.
There are optional activities for girls to complete to earn credits, but all girls must complete the online training . All Cookie Captains will need to complete a final report as well. Below is a list of other activities to earn additional credits.
