1. 2011 Training!
Girl Scouts of
Kansas Heartland
1) The annual Girl Scout Cookie activity connects Girls Scouts through time. It is our
shared history, our collective experience, our cherished tradition. We are its
keepers. We are its future.
• How many of you sold cookies as a Girl Scout? * What do you remember about
selling cookies?
2) Beyond being a cherished Girl Scout tradition, the Cookie Sale support the Girl Scout
mission through program elements and funding. Remember, the sale should focus
on the processes of Girl Led, Learning by Doing, and Cooperative Learning.
• As a program activity, what can girls learn (and volunteers) learn by participating in
the sale?
• What can you help teach the girls through the sale?
Set goals… working to achieve goals by developing action plans
Business Ethics…entrepreneurship, marketing (new online marketing)
People Skills…public Speaking, Communication skills
Decision Making…
Money Management…financial literacy, budgeting, money handling
These program elements make the Cookie Sale the nation's premier financial literacy
and entrepreneurship program. It take you make this possible. Without you, the sale is
just like every other fundraiser.
3) And, it of course the Cookie Sale provides funding to enable Girl Scouts to fulfill it’s
mission: “Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the
world a better place.”

2. Goal
1,419,000
boxes
•Every cookie counts towards goal of 1,419,000 boxes. This is a 2% increase of the
cookies sold last year.
Why do we create goals and why are goals important?
Did you know the #1 way to increase sales is to set a goal and communicate the goal
to customers?
Customers love to learn about girl’s goals and what their goal helps them achieve
Example: My goal is 500 boxes, so I can attend the 500+ Event at Exploration Place.
Help girls create a simple goal statement to tell their customers.

6. Who can participate?
Girls Who:
• Are registered Girl
Scouts.
• Are current with their
financial obligations.
• Have a signed Parent
Permission Form.
Participation is voluntary, but encouraged due to the benefit that girls receive by
participating.

1. Are Currently Registered.
2. Are current with their financial obligations, that is they have no past sale
shortages or outstanding checks.
3. Have a signed Parent Permission and Responsibility Form.
If a form is not signed and retained, the Troop Cookie Manager becomes

7. Selling 101
• Girls start on Jan. 22 by taking cookie orders.
• Girls collect the money when they deliver cookies
to their customers.
• Girls continue selling after submitting their initial
order (Feb. 7) through March 13.
When can girls begin selling and taking orders?
•Encourage girls to be honest and fair by starting selling on January 22.
•Girls who do not follow the sale dates and guidelines can lose their eligibility
for cookie recognitions and cookie credits.
When do girls collect the money from their customers?
•At the time they deliver the cookies. Each year we get calls from customers
who paid for cookies, but never received their cookies. Please help us avoid
this situation, by instructing the girls to not take money until they deliver
cookies.
Can girls continue selling after they turn in their initial order?
•Yes, they should continue selling through March 13.
Where can girls sell cookies?
•Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland should sell cookies within our 80-county
jurisdiction. There are no restrictions, however, on where girls can sell within
our Council. No girl or troop has exclusive right to any town, area or street.
•Take order card/cookies to parent’s workplace, dentist office, hair
salon…everywhere you go!
•Troop and girls may not set up booths at businesses without permission
from their Regional Office. Selling cookies in a business setting without girl
involvement does not support our position that this is a girl activity and is
prohibited.

cookie sale and take orders
via email and text
messaging. Girls 13 years
old and older may also use
social networking sites, such
as Facebook, MySpace, and
Twitter, as long as they have
a parent’s permission and
are under adult supervision.
•Safety-Wise states: Girls can use e-mail and age-appropriate Internet
functions as online marketing tools to let family, friends and former
customers know about the sale and collect indications of interest. Any use of
the Internet as an online marketing tool by councils and girls must adhere to
current GSUSA and Internet provider guidelines related to: safety, internet
etiquette, age requirements, parent permission, adult oversight and council
jurisdiction.
•This means girls may promote the cookie sale and take cookie orders
via email and text messaging. Girls 13 and older may also use social
networking sites, such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, as long as
they have a parent’s permission, are under adult supervision, and
follow Safety-Wise guidelines. Girls 13 and older may use YouTube for
marketing, but must have parental permission and council approval of
what is to be posted.
•As a Girl Scout, girls must never use or post a personal e-mail, personal
street address, or phone number on a site. Instead use an adult’s e-mail
address or troop/group e-mail address that is monitored by an adult.
•Girls must direct customers to an offline point of sale for payment and
cookie delivery. Under no circumstances can girls or their parents take
money over the internet for a Girl Scout product sale or sell cookies through
online auction sites such as e-Bay or Craigs List.
•All girls must read and sign the revised Girl Scout Internet Safety Pledge
with a parent or guardian, if they are using the Internet. Access the form at
www.girlscouts.org. Please reference www.lmk.girlscouts.org for guidance

an extra box (or more) of cookies to donate to our military troops or to
one of the other charities listed on the Cookie Share receipt.

number of boxes on the Cookie Share column of the order card.
3. If the customer only purchases cookie shares, collect their money at the
time of the sale. If the customer also orders box(es) of cookies, wait and
collect their money when the cookies are delivered.

Manager.
