For Community/Area Product Leaders:

Retail Spotlight: 

Fall FUNDraiser is designed to be fast, easy, and rewarding for you and your troop. It’s one order, one delivery, with loads of options for customers to support your troop in earning funds to start the new year. The sale runs September 20-October 21.

📦Direct to Troop Snacks & Rewards: All girl-delivered snacks and rewards now ship directly to a troop contact, making pickup and distribution easier for everyone. Submit the troop address by October 16. The shipments are delivered by Fed Ex right to the troop contact's door.

💸Proceeds & More: Troops earn 15% proceeds on every sale, and Senior/Ambassador troops can opt out of rewards to earn 18% proceeds plus patches. All troops that sell $350+ unlock a spot in the Bonus Booth Lottery in early January. Plus, both troops and Girl Scouts can win weekly giveaways all season long!

📲Cookie Central has a new look!: Bookmark cookies.girlscoutsrv.org as your go-to spot for both product programs. Click the top menu for Family, Troop Volunteer, or Community Volunteer resources.
