2025 Troop Cookie Manager Playbook

Detailed Timeline and Instructions

■ End of November: No Funds Handling list goes out November

No Funds Handling Troop Cookie Managers and Troop Leaders may receive an email from council, with information on any parents/caregivers within the troop who have no-funds handling restrictions. Anyone with a no-funds handling restriction cannot be in a role that handles money or product, and this includes adults who may not be registered members. A Girl Scout whose caregiver is on the list may only participate in the Cookie Program if another, unrelated adult from another address signs permission and accepts responsibility for the Girl Scout’s cookie activities. Alternatively, they can also request to participate in online direct ship and donation only. Girl Scouts can also participate in troop cookie booths, but the adult with the restriction may not serve as a booth volunteer. Any Girl Scout whose adult is on the restricted list will not be uploaded to eBudde or Digital Cookie. Please let Product Programs know if another adult will be taking responsibility or to edit the Girl Scout’s Digital Cookie settings to be ship/ donation only.
