For Cookie Sellers

For Caregivers and Girl Scouts

There's so much more to Girl Scout Cookies than what is in the box—there’s the magic that is you!

When you participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, you’re part of something even bigger than you, your troop, and all the amazing girls nationwide that sell too; you’re part of the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world! Having the opportunity to run your very own cookie business gives you skills essential for success today and in the future.

You're doing more than bringing meaningful moments of joy to all your customers (and having lots of fun). You have goals in mind! With every box of delicious treats you sell you power life-changing programs, experiences, and learning for yourself and your troop all year long. No matter what obstacles may come your way, we know that you’ll face them with resiliency and creativity—it’s the Girl Scout way!

Social Media Guidelines

Here's what you can do:

  • Post that your Girl Scout Troop is selling cookies. Example: “Troop 123 is selling Girl Scout 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 resale sites. Examples of public forums are Craigslist, eBay, and Facebook Marketplace. This includes commenting the link on another page’s post.

Cookie Badges and Pins

When a Girl Scout places a pin or a badge on her vest or sash, it symbolizes an important achievement. The Cookie Entrepreneur Family pins recognize the five skills girls learn as they begin to think like entrepreneurs through the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Cookie Business badges demonstrate that a girl has developed specific skills related to running her own business. When a Girl Scout wears these emblems, she lets the world know she’s a real-life Cookie Boss!
