Fun, easy-to-use tools help you superpower your sale and go beyond the booth with online and mobile channels that make it easy for cookie fans near and far to support your sale and, ultimately, your success.
To start using Digital Cookie, look for an email from "Girl Scout Cookies" with the subject "Ready. Set. Register for Digital Cookie." Please check your Spam, Junk, and Promotion folders for the registration email. If you do not see the email, email Info@GirlScoutsToday.org and our team can help you.
Girls earn these rewards when they reach each level of cookies sold using their Digital Cookie site. Digital Cookie orders count toward the girl’s Initial Order, Care to Share, and Final girl rewards.

Customers can purchase cookies to donate to men and women serving in the military through a council-sponsored program called Care to Share. Cookies purchased go directly to Iowa’s Bravest, Riverbend Troop Support, and Soldier’s Angels; military support organizations that send care packages.
Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois facilitates the delivery of cookies purchased through this program. In 2021, Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois collected donations of 25,093 packages of cookies for the Care to Share Program!
Girls who sell 24 or more packages earn the Gift of Caring
patch.
Rewards in the line-up are cumulative. Girls will earn all rewards up to the level that they sell. Check out the reward line-up.
NEW THIS YEAR: INSTANT REWARDS
Troop leaders (of troops
that opt in for rewards) will receive the 110 level rewards and 185
level rewards with their cookie materials – this means that girls will
not have to wait until the end of the sale to earn these rewards!
110 packages: Cookie Decals
185 packages: Koala Clip
250 packages: Pick out an instant mystery reward
Stop
into a Girl Scout Office to pick out an instant mystery reward as your
Girl Scout sells in increments of 250 packages of cookies! When she
reaches 250, 500, 750, 1,000 and beyond, she’s eligible to pick out a
prize. Each office has tons of prizes to choose from, like notebooks,
shirts, stuffed animals, stocking hats, keychains, bath bombs, and
more.
Girl Scouts are invited to stop into our
Bettendorf, Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, and West Burlington locations during
offices hours as well as the fourth Saturday of the month from
9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. on January 22, February 26, and March 26.
Visit Camp Little Cloud on Fridays from 12:00-5:00 p.m. or by
appointment.
With parent permission, Girl Scouts will be
featured on Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois social
media. Look for the
posts on Wednesday evenings!

Girls selling
500+ packages will become a member of the elite 500 Club! Girls earn a

Program Credit
Program Credit is an individual girl reward. It
can be used to pay for camp, council-sponsored and Service Unit
events, uniforms, pins, awards, and merchandise at the Girl Scout
shops or camp trading posts. Girls who are part of troops that opt in
for rewards can choose Program Credit instead of the reward at the
215, 250, 175, 225, 325, and 425 levels. ALL girls will also have the
option to choose $100 Program Credit instead of a reward at each level
at and above 500 packages sold.
Feed-A-Horse Program
The Feed a Horse program is back!
This philanthropy program allows girls choose a donation to the Camp Liberty Horse Program. Girls choose this
option at the 150 level instead of the reward- and they also earn a
“Feed a Horse” patch! Troops that opt out of rewards are NOT eligible.
