Why Participate

Why Participate?

The Girl Scout Cookie Program has long taught girls how to run a business via in-person booths, door-to-door activity, and the Digital Cookie® platform online. The proceeds from each and every purchase stay local with the troop and its council to power Girl Scouts’ essential leadership programming. Many girls use their cookie earnings to fund visits to Girl Scouts of Alaska summer camps, trips, projects, and more.

All net revenue raised through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, every penny after paying the baker, stays in Alaska to support our Girl Scouts, girl programs, and camps.

Social Media Guidelines

 

Here's what you can do:

  • Post that your Girl Scout Troop is selling Cookies. Example: “Troop 123 is selling cookies at Fred Meyers from 2-3 p.m.”
  • Post a Digital Cookie link on your personal social media page or private group with people you know.
  • Use smart judgment. If you want to post in a private Facebook group, but that group has hundreds or thousands of people in it, then it may not be wise to post there as you can risk girl and volunteer safety.
  • Try posting something generic. For example: “Interested in buying Girl Scout Cookies? Send me a message and I can get you in contact.”

What to avoid:

  • For Girl Scout safety, we do not post about where or when a specific girl is selling cookies. You can post Troop information on your personal social media, but a post mentioning name, location, and time is not safe. Example: “My daughter Jane will be selling at Fred Meyers from 2-3 p.m.”
  • Posting Digital Cookie links on public pages or re-sale sites. Examples of public forums are: Craigslist, eBay and Facebook Marketplace. This includes commenting the link on another page’s post.

Cheddar Up - Point of Sale System

If your troop used Cheddar Up last year, the same account may be used for this year. The 2023 cookie sales collection will be pushed to your account in mid-February.

For Girl Scout Cookie sale, councils will cover the administrative costs for using Cheddar Up. Troops can use Cheddar Up for other money-earning events, but the troop must pay the admin fees for these uses. Sign up now.

This introductory video and this one-pager from Cheddar Up gives an overview of our Point of Sale (PoS) system, Cheddar Up. For more details, watch GSAK's Cheddar Up Training for Troop Leaders and TCMs and/or Cheddar Up Training for Troop Helpers and Booth Volunteers.
