Set up troop Digital Cookie Storefront Troop Digital Cookie storefronts will look like a girl’s site but will function separately from any girl’s individual site. The troop link can be used for things like a troop virtual cookie booth or the Digital Cookies- Cookies in Hand credit card system at booths. Troop Links will be advertised through the Girl Scouts USA Cookie Finder. Sales that come in through the troop link, which is not intended to be a replacement for normal troop cookie activities, will still need to be allocated to individual girls in eBudde, like you would do for a regular booth. When you log in as the troop user, on the left side of your screen there will be a button to activate that link. Once girl accounts are turned on, you will be able to go through the full set-up process. See step by step instructions in the appendix on pg. 42. Girls set up their Digital Cookie Storefront At this time Girl Scouts can set up their Digital Cookie storefront.
