Hello all,
Cookie Sales are here as you can tell by the information packets that went home with the girls on Wednesday. Each packet should have contained a family newsletter, cookie order form, Goal-Getter order form, and a cookie money envelope. I do have packets available for anyone that missed our last meeting and still want paper order forms. Also the digital cookie portal is a very nice tool in place of or in addition to the paper forms.
On December 11th every registered Girl Scout family should have received an email with instructions to access and set up their personal Digital Cookie website. Cookies can be ordered and paid for directly from this website.
December 15th is the first day cookie orders can be placed. Those purchasing cookies on the website will need to select how they would like their cookies delivered. They can select between girl delivered (in person delivery) with no additional cost, or have them shipped directly to them for an additional charge. As orders are placed you will need to go in and approve any orders where girl delivered was selected to ensure that you will be able to personally deliver those cookies.
Cookie orders taken via the paper order form will need to be submitted to the troop leaders along with the full order payment by January 18th as we will need a day to enter those orders into the system.
This will conclude the initial order phase of the sale. Cookie pickup for all girl delivered orders will be the week of February 4-13th. The specific date and location for pickup will be announced when the information becomes available.
The Goal Getter portion of the sale will begin February 7th and run through March 21st. Any orders placed through the Digital Cookie portal during this time will be available for direct ship only. Boxes of cookies can also be picked up in person at a designated Gathering Place Cookie Cupboard. Please refer to the newsletter for instructions on obtaining cookies through the gathering places. Any orders placed during this time will, of course, be credited to the girls and count towards their prize goals.
We are asking that each girl try to sell at least 30 boxes of cookies which will earn them a patch. They will then have an opportunity to earn additional prizes as they sell more boxes of cookies.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any additional questions or concerns.
