Before the Program

December-January 7 Complete Troop Cookie Manager Training

Complete your 2023 Troop Cookie Manager Training via gsLearn. There is also a New Cookie Manager Orientation course for those new to the role.

The Troop Cookie Manager training is a program overview and role introduction. Product Programs staff will provide live webinars throughout the season covering key tasks, such as submitting the Initial Order. Neighborhood Cookie Managers may hold neighborhood-specific sessions to provide support as well.

End of November No Funds Handling

Troop Cookie Managers and Troop Leaders will receive information regarding adults within the troop who have no-funds handling restrictions. Anyone with a no-funds handling restriction cannot be responsible for money or product. Girl Scouts whose primary adult has a no-funds handling restriction can still participate in the cookie program if an unrelated adult living at a different address takes responsibility for her orders and product. This other adult must sign the Health History/Permission form to give their consent to take on the responsibility for product programs. Please let Product Programs know this information so they can add the Girl Scout to eBudde and Digital Cookie. Girl Scouts can still participate in troop cookie booths, but the adult with the restriction may not serve as a booth volunteer.
