2022 Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri COVID-19 Protocol

Product Program Protocol

2022 COVID-19 GUIDELINES Product Program Protocol When Girl Scouts participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, everything your Girl Scout learns prepares them to take on the world. Plus, program proceeds stay local in your community to power amazing year- round experiences—experiences that broaden their worlds and spark their sense of wonder. General In-person and online marketing of cookies is permitted. Strategies for safe order-taking and delivery will keep Girl Scouts and supporters safe, while maximizing success. It’s important to understand and respect family comfort level with Girl Scouts’ in-person cookie participation. If Girl Scouts are unable to participate in booths or order card sales, find and encourage other ways for those Girl Scouts to contribute to the troop’s success such as the digital program, creating booth marketing materials and promotion. • Girl Scouts know their frequent order card customers. If they’ve kept their customer records from previous years, they can reach out to those customers and let them know they are selling cookies to support their troop. Texting and email are great ways to do this • Customize a cookie door hanger to leave at doors in the neighborhood. Find resources at https://www.girlscoutsem.org/en/cookies/about-girl-scout-cookies.html. • Parent/Caregiver workplace: In a time of more people working from home, Girl Scouts can use the digital platforms to reach their parents/caregivers’ co-workers. With permission, Girl Scouts could send an email to their parents’ co-workers or offer to do a virtual or in-person presentation to them, then provide the Girl Scout’s Digital Cookie link for orders. This also provides a more Girl Scout-led marketing opportunity. Find workplace marketing support at https://www.girlscoutsem.org/en/cookies/about-girl- scout-cookies.html. Digital Ordering The Cookie Program offers online ordering through the Digital Cookie platform. When marketing through Digital Cookie and in-person, Girl Scouts can reach their goals! • Set up account: Every Girl Scout should set up a Digital Cookie account; https://www.girlscoutsem.org/ en/cookies/LBBdigitalcookie.html • Troop link: Every troop should set up a troop account in Digital Cookie • Girl Scout delivery: This cookie season, customers can place digital orders for girl-delivery through March 13, 2022. This is a zero-cost option for customers and can be completely contactless through porch drop off of the order. Customers also have the option to pay for shipping cookies directly to them. • Gather emails: Girl Scouts can gather email addresses for all their potential supporters so they can share their online store link. Girl Scouts will be able to take orders and payment, while maintaining social distance In-Person Order-Taking Use of the traditional paper order card is encouraged in addition to online marketing.
