Product Programs

Enhancements to our 2020 Cookie Program make your troop’s experience through March 8 easier, more convenient and rewarding—now that is wow-worthy!

• Eastern Missouri troops can earn more proceeds than ever, $0.80 - $1 per package sold. This means more new adventures for the girls, so dream big!

• Our troops and individual Girl Scouts are using the secure Clover Go app’s OCR scanner to accept credit and debit card payments when delivering

cookies, at booths and on the go. The benefits are less cash handling for troops and girls, more convenience for customers and increased cookie sales – it’s a win-win. If your troop has not completed the required training and setup, visit girlscoutsem.org/cookies • Empower your Girl Scouts to use the Digital Cookie platform to connect with hungry cookie lovers down the block and across the country. Customers appreciate the convenience of ordering cookies online and girls earn a cute cookie techie patch when they send 15+ emails to customers

• Experiences earned through the Cookie Program – camp, travel, Butterfly Blitz

The girls in our troop have learned so many new things as they worked together to create fun and successful booths over the years. They learned how to use a sewing machine to create their own table cloth, used artistic skills to create posters, used math skills as they made the correct change for customers, learned technology by using Square, created sales goals and helped count our inventory. They discovered more about marketing and worked together to make their table visually appealing. The girls also used their public speaking skills and manners to interact with customers and each other in a polite way. Cookie booths provide a real-life example of how girls can live out the Girl Scout Law every day. It is so much more than just selling cookies! “
