Girl Scouts Set Up Digital Cookie Storefront Parent/adults with emails in the membership system will receive an email to set up Digital Cookie on Jan. 2. At this time, Girl Scouts can personalize their digital store and queue emails that will go out Jan. 6. Customers can begin ordering on Jan. 6. Set Up Troop Digital Cookie Virtual Booth Each troop has the option to create their own virtual booth site through Digital Cookie. It will look like a Girl Scout’s site but will function separately from them. The link to your troop virtual booth can be used for things like cookie booth pickup orders and the Digital Cookies- in hand credit card payments at booths.

Once set up, the troop has access to sharing a shipping-only troop link and one with a girl-delivery option too. Any troop virtual booth shipping-only link will be advertised through the Girl Scouts USA Cookie Finder beginning February 16. Sales that come in through the virtual booth, which is not intended to be a replacement for normal troop cookie activities, will still need to be moved from the virtual booth to individual Girl Scouts 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 the virtual booth site. You will be able to go through the full set-up process. See step-by-step instructions in the appendix on pg. 68.
