Join Us for the Fall Product Program in September
|
Start spreading the news…. we have changes coming to our 2024 Fall Product Program and it’s gonna be even more rewarding! If you are new to Fall Product, it’s a fast, easy, and fun way to earn troop proceeds to kick off your new troop year. Girl Scouts can connect with customers to sell yummy snacks, purchase or renew magazine subscriptions, Tervis drinkware, and three, exclusive Girl Scout themed Barkboxes!
|
Go Day (aka the first day of the sale) is Monday, September 23 with the sale ending later in October. Our mascot is the African elephant, and the season theme is “Embrace Possibility.” We’ll share more information on these news-worthy changes over the summer.

2024 Top Ten Cookie Seller Video |
It takes courage, confidence, and character to sell over 3000 packages of cookies, which is exactly what our Top Ten Cookie Sellers all achieved this year! Check out the video we’ve put together highlighting this huge accomplishment, featuring a message from Girl Scouts River Valleys CEO, Marisa C. Williams!

End of Cookie Season Sales Results
|
We are so grateful to everyone who made the 2024 Cookie Program possible. Our final sales totals are in and you can check out in the details in our 2024 Cookie Program-By the Numbers end of season wrap-up.
From Daisies who sold their first packages of cookies to the Girl Scouts who sold thousands, we applaud the outstanding efforts of ALL River Valleys Girl Scouts who flexed their grit and innovation during this entire season.
|
Please welcome the Giant Panda into our cookie mascot club. What’s her name? What day can we start selling cookies? What else is new this year? We know you all have many questions. Stay tuned for more 2025 cookie season details coming this fall.
|
It’s time to reflect on the 2024 cookie season. Your input and perspective are incredibly valuable as we start to shape next year’s program. Please complete the survey by June 2. We appreciate your feedback.

Cookie Reward Distribution
|
Your Service Unit Cookie Manager (SUCM) will connect with you when the rewards are ready for pickup. Before you pick up your items, log into Smart Cookies, go to Reports>Current> Recognition Order Summary by Troop and print a copy of this report to verify the counts of each item with your service unit. Then, print a copy of the Recognition Order Summary by Girl Report to distribute items to each Girl Scout. Set up a date/time schedule and inform families of the opportunity to pick up their items. Verify the items with the parent/guardian to ensure everyone receives their correct rewards. Pro tip: Have the parent/guardian sign your copy of the Recognition Order Summary report to acknowledge they have received all items.
Check out our May 16 Cookie Press for additional rewards information.
