Goal setting—as she sets cookie sale goals and makes a plan to reach them.

Decision-making—as she decides how her team will spend the cookie money.

Money management—as she makes a budget, takes orders and handles customers’ money.

People skills—as she learns to talk and listen to all kinds of people while selling cookies.

Business ethics—as she is honest and responsible every step of the way.

LJ All Troop Fall Chairs must fill out the Troop Manager job description and hand it in to the Service Unit Cookie Chair - They will then be added into the eBudde system to have access to their troop’s information.

• We recommend creating a new email address to help you manage the Cookie Program. This helps emails from getting overlooked in your personal email account.

LJ All girls who wish to participate must be registered with GSUSA. For assistance, email [email protected].

• Arrange with the Troop Leader the date, time & location for training your Girl Scouts & parents/guardians. (see page 12 for more information)

LJ Find out first on Facebook! “Like” Girl Scouts of Suffolk County for the latest information on the GSSC Product Programs.

• Check your email often throughout the program for important updates and critical date reminders from your Service Unit Fall Chair and GSSC.

CADETTE & OLDER TROOPS • Older girl troops have the option of opting out of recognitions and earning an additional $0.05 per box. To opt out

of rewards, go to your Settings tab, click “edit settings,” then check the box “ Opt out of rewards for additional proceeds.” Save by hitting “update.”

Initial Sale • When you initially sign into eBudde, every troop will use the password – Toff7926 (case-sensitve)

◦ Each volunteer, with a signed agreement on file, should have access to the eBudde system -

https://ebudde.littlebrownie.com. If you have trouble logging in, please email [email protected].

How To Get StartedInitial Sale (cont’d)

LJ When the initial sale product arrives, your SU Cookie Chair will contact you to arrange the pickup for the troop’s product - Initial deliveries begin the week of February 12.

LJ Set up a time and date with the families in your troop to pick up their orders - Have them sign for all product received and issue receipts for payments given to you. Always keep records of transactions and receipts.

LJ All initial sale money is due by March 5 - You will be given deposit slips to use at any Capital One Bank. Be sure the deposit slip has your troop number encoded on the bottom left of the slip. If it doesn’t, don’t use it! Email [email protected] for additional deposit slips. Money can also be paid at www.gssc.us.

SPECIAL NOTE

It is suggested by Council that you round down your initial order. The system will automatically total the troop order and round it up to the nearest full case. Please adjust your order downward to full cases.

Catch Up Orders LJ Ask for the parent/guardian’s help in keeping things organized - Choose dates that you will go to the cupboard and have the parents/guardians email you with the additional products that they need. Have them sign receipts. Always keep a record of what is picked up.

LJ Be sure to allocate any additional product from the cupboards to the girls so they will receive the proper rewards at the end of the season. Visit www.gssc.us for directions on how to allocate product from catch up orders and booth sales.

Troop Wrap Up LJ Verify that all cookies ordered have been allocated to the girls.

LJ All money should be deposited into any Capital One Bank using the deposit slip assigned to your troop by May 14. Payments can also be made at www.gssc.us.

LJ Be sure to hand in copies of your deposit slips to your Service Unit Cookie Chair. GSSC will verify that they have been properly applied to your troop.

LJ Girl recognitions will be shipped directly to your Service Unit Cookie Chair. Once received, they will distribute them to the troops accordingly.

Parent/Guardian & Girl Training • A great way to get your Cookie Product Sale moving is to get your girls and their families

super excited. Here are some tips and tricks:

LJ Host a Cookie Program Training night for girls and their families - Explain the purpose of the program as a troop opportunity to generate funds and hand out program materials. This can also be done at the end of a regularly scheduled troop meeting.

LJ Collect and hold onto a signed Parent/Guardian Agreement - DO NOT give out any product without having this form on file. This is what saves the troop from owing money that a family does not pay.

LJ Inspire! Encourage! Motivate! You are the face of the program - Your program introduction will have significant effect on the girls’ enthusiasm and parent/guardian support. Be sure to share your contact information with the families for any additional questions they may have.

LJ Explain to the families that the rewards are cumulative - For example: If a girl sells 100 boxes, she will receive all the rewards up to and including the 100 reward. This is up to 350 boxes. Girls who sell over 500+ boxes get to choose a premium reward and will be invited to our All-Star celebration! For example: if a girl sells 1,000 boxes she can choose one 1,000 level reward or two 500 level rewards.

LJ Review the 5 Skills with the girls - Goal Setting, Decision Making, Money Management, People Skills and Business Ethics. These valuable skills learned at the heart of every product program will last a lifetime!

LJ Troops & girls should set individual and collective Cookie Program goals - Ask the girls to vote on how they would like to use the program proceeds. Reinforce how individual goals help the troop achieve its overall goal and fund troop activities.

LJ Review all important dates and deadlines - Meeting deadlines is critical to the success of the program; stress the importance of timeliness to families.

LJ Explain about Operation Cookie.

LJ Explain what Catch Up Orders are and when they will start.

LJ Review cash handling procedures - Set clear expectations for conduct and collection of monies due to the troop. Checks should be made out to GSSC.

Donating a box to our service personnel is the perfect suggestion for those customers who say they are on a diet or buy their cookies from a Girl Scout in another council. This program lasts throughout the cookie campaign, from January through May.

add up more fun!Cookie House Parties help girls sell by the case.

A Cookie House Party is a sweet strategy that encourages girls to invite their best customers to a cookie-themed gathering to have fun, enjoy snacks—and buy cookies by the case! Girls share their BIG goals, and customers make BIG purchases.

From invitations to yummy recipes, Little Brownie makes it easy!
