Hello everyone,
It’s that time of year again…and no I don’t mean Christmas. I’m talking about Girl Scout Cookie Sales! I know that everything about this year has been different and cookie sales are certainly no exception. While it will be difficult for some to focus on in-person sales like they normally do, we do have the Digital Cookie Platform that I highly recommend. Some of you did use it last year for the first time and really liked it.
Once you register for Digital Cookie sales you can send out personalized emails to friends, family, and co-workers with a link to your virtual cookie storefront. There they can choose whichever cookies they like as well as make gift of caring purchases. They can select to have the cookies delivered directly to them for a fee or select girl delivered to have the cookies delivered through you as normal. The really nice thing is that they can even make payment online so you won’t have to worry about collecting their money and turning it over to me. For those of you that prefer to use the traditional cookie sales sheet, those are still available. I have attached PDFs of the family newsletter, cookie order form, and goal getter order form below. If you would prefer a hard copy of these docs let me know and I will get those out to you right away.
You should be getting a welcome email on Dec.7th and a personalized link to register for Digital Cookie and create your online storefront. If for some reason you do not receive your email you can click here to request a new link.
Due to pandemic restrictions we will not be able to host cookie pickup in the church basement as we have done in previous years. This year’s cookie pickup will be happening in February at Second City Theatre. They have graciously volunteered their facility for cookie pickup. More details to follow for that day. Cookie sales begin on Dec. 14th and initial cookie orders need to be turned in by Jan. 20th for girl delivered cookies. You can continue to sell cookies through March 20th with delivery being via shipping. Any cookies sold during this extended period will still count towards cookie prizes. As an Added incentive I will be adding a troop exclusive prize for the top cookie seller in each of my troops. The girl with the highest cookie sales will win a Girl Scout Cookie themed bear from Build-A- Bear workshop.
