Girl Scout Cookie Program

What Can A Cookie Buy?
The Experience of a Lifetime!
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is much more than a fundraiser, it is the largest girl-led business in the country and generates immeasurable benefits for girls, their local Girl Scout offices and communities nationwide. It is the vehicle that drives the creation of great women. It begins as a way for girls to earn money for their troops by setting personal and group goals, but it becomes the basis for her to realize that SHE CAN make a difference. This hands-on financial literacy program provides girls with a means to enhance their public speaking skills, work in collaborative groups, set goals and map out a plan to achieve them. They also have a chance to connect with their community, build self confidence and most importantly fuel their imaginations - all while having FUN! When all of the key components of the program come together girls become the women of tomorrow - strong and confident, committed and determined...to make the world a better place.

Behind Every Cookie is a Girl with Dreams
What are your hopes for your Girl Scout? Certainly, you want her to make good decisions, know how to manage money, and set and reach goals, like attending college.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps her succeed today and prepares her for future success. There’s a good reason the Cookie Program is a beloved family tradition. 

An EXCITING way for girls to get started AND turn in orders!Cookie Club is the completely safe way for all girls to send emails asking for cookie promises—family and friends promise to purchase Girl Scout Cookies.   With their parent’s supervision, girls will find that Cookie Club is an awesome learning tool for success! Cookie Club lets girls jump into the exciting world of today’s social media while protecting them from unwanted communications.
1.       Families sign up girls for the Cookie Club and create an account at http://cookieclubpilot.littlebrowniebakers.com.
2.      Families will submit INITIAL COOKIE ORDERS to the Troop Cookie Manager (TCM) using this online tool, rather than the traditional paper order card. These orders automatically appear in eBudde for the TCM to verify and order during the initial order phase.
3.      Orders collected using Cookie Club after the initial order period will have to be submitted to the Troop Cookie Manager personally to be manually entered into eBudde.
