2024 Troop Cookie Manager Guide

Monitor Additional Digital Sales and Cookie Needs From Troop After your initial order is submitted, many Girl Scouts will continue to get online orders for girl-delivery, or they may have additional in-person orders. We call these Goal Getter orders. In most cases, girls will need to secure cookies from the troop to fulfill the orders.

You should be able to rely on your Girl Scout families to communicate their needs to you once they approve additional girl-delivery orders. However, you do have visibility in eBudde to additional girl-delivery orders approved after the initial

order was submitted. 1. Log into eBudde

2. Click on the Girl Orders tab 3. Click on a Girl Scout name 4. On the right, there is a drop-down menu; select Girl Del. (after IO)

5. This will show you if there were any post-initial girl-delivery orders approved for a Girl Scout 6. You can then reach out to the family to find out if they need cookies for these orders

A best practice is to set a schedule/timeline for when you need to know your girls’ additional cookie needs and communi cate this to the parents/adults. This is to avoid any expectations of you running to get cookies multiples times a week. Be sure not to wait until the very end of the program to pick up all your troop’s additional cookies needed. Cupboard inventory is typically much lower at that time, and they may not be able to meet all your needs. Place Pending Orders for Extra Cookies from Cookie Cupboards A Cookie Cupboard is a troop’s source of extra cookies, whether for a booth, for Digital Cookie girl-delivery orders after initial order, or for Goal-Getter form orders. Individual packages and full cases of cookies can be ordered and picked up at these locations Feb. 16-March 12. Individual cupboards set their open days and times. The GSEM Council Cupboard oper ates 10 am-5:30 pm M-F, and some Saturdays from Feb. 20-March 15. Any changes to cupboard locations will be commu nicated in weekly Product Programs emails. Please visit the Cupboard Locations map on your eBudde dashboard to find specific location information, including ad dress, email and phone. Having the eBudde app available can help a troop find a cupboard when they are out and about at a booth and away from their computer.
