We appreciate your organization, coordination, and determination to help girls, and our council, reach the goals necessary to make the Girl Scout Movement strong.
Each January, cookie season begins for Girl Scouts in our local council. Start preparing for cookie season in December when our council will ship the necessary resources to your troop's product manager.
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)!
In 2023, Troops are breaking the Cookie Booth mold and finding new ways to reach customers! Try a mix of in-person (remember your masks), virtual, and drive-thru Cookie Booths.
The Digital Cookie app makes it super simple for customers to order their faves online and pay by credit card to either get the cookies right from you or have them shipped—awesome!
All proceeds from the Cookie Program stay local! This financial literacy program not only teaches girls business skills, but also funds their troop experiences.
Spread the word! Girl Scouts are selling cookies and have many options to reach customers and market their cookie businesses.
Check out the Little Brownie Bakers website for an interactive program and activities all about Cookie Rookies!
Cookie Rookies are girls and troops new to the Cookie Sale Program. Cookie Rookie girls will receive special training at your local Cookie Rally (and a special patch!).
Girls will learn:
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.
Earn Additional Cookie Credit!
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 to earn an initial $5 in program credit and train a Cookie Rookie Troop to earn another $5 in program credit. All Cookie Captains will need to complete a final report as well. Below is a list of other activities to earn additional credits.
To complete the Cookie Captain Program and receive your Cookie Captain patch and additional Program Credit, complete the final report by Friday, March 31, 2023. Mail completed forms to Girl Scouts, Attn: Shelli Griffin, 940 Golden Valley Drive, Bettendorf, IA 52722 or email ShelliG@girlscoutstoday.org.
