Letter From the CEO It's that time of year again-cookie time! It's a time when Girl Scouts everywhere get to learn the important 5 skills (goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics) of our fantastic financial literacy program while having fun bringing their friends and neighbors what they've been waiting for all year...their favorites in our assortment of iconic cookies. Our girls grow through this program to become more confident, as they stretch their comfort zones, and build outstanding character that will carry them throughout their lives. However, is cookie season a little concerning to you (again!) this year? Do you have worries about safety and success? Rest assured we are in this together – again, and always! We pledge to do everything possible to ensure our girls are safe, our cookies are available to meet public demand, and our volunteers feel confident they will have a productive cookie season. We understand the uncertainty of it all and strive to be ardent collaborators throughout the season because we know what is at stake. Without cookie sales, Girl Scout programming will suffer. We rely on the cookie sale to provide funding for all the out­standing girl experiences that make each year of Girl Scouting not only fun and mem­orable, but also impactful and beneficial for our girls. We learned a lot last year about how to have successful sales, while maintaining safety measures to protect our girls and their customers. I encourage you all to get out there and let your girls shine, again. As Girl Scouts, they have the creativity to conquer any hurdles they may encounter, and they showed us that last year. From online sales to drive-through cookie booths to curbside delivery, I know our girls have what it takes to ensure this year's cookie program gets them where they want to go...and gets them there safely. We know they have BIG plans, and the cookie program is what fuels those plans. Our girls need cookie sales to accomplish their goals. The revenue they earn is their ticket to experiences limited only by their imagination. Cookie season is the time of year when girls dream big and set a plan in motion to CLIMB WITH COURAGE and accomplish those dreams. It's up to us all to support them in any way we can to ensure they rise to the challenge with success. When this big, wide world opens back up to us, we want our girls out there in it - equipped with the troop funds they need to experience it to its fullest. Our pledge to you, our volunteers, parents and girls, is that we will be an unwavering partner. We will exercise caution to ensure this year's cookie season is safe and enjoyable for all. We will be creative in finding solutions to any obstacle we face. We will exhibit dedication to creating collaborative partnerships that afford our girls every opportunity to succeed. It’s time to CLIMB WITH COURAGE...like a Girl Scout!

Dawn Prasifka, President and CEO

Inspire her to think like an entrepreneur

goal setting

Goal setting is one of the five essential skills girls develop through the Girl Scout Cookie Program. With your support, they’ll learn how to set realistic goals and achieve them.

®

Five essential skills 1. goal setting

Girls learn how to set goals and create a plan to reach them.

Action steps: Encourage girls to set incremental, achievable goals. Help girls break down those goals through setting weekly challenges.

2. decision making

Girls learn how to make decisions on their own and as a team.

Action steps: Talk with girls about how they plan to spend the troop's cookie earnings.

3. money management

Girls learn to create a budget and handle money.

Action steps: Build on girls’ interest in learning to manage all facets of the cookie business, such as creating a budget to fund a troop experience or figuring out the percentage of customers who selected the donation option.

4. people skills

Girls find their voice and build confidence through customer interactions.

Action steps: Ask girls about new marketing ideas they want to try. They can discuss how to tailor their cookie pitch to achieve their goals.

5. BUSINESS EThICS

Girls learn to act ethically, both in business and life.

Action steps: Talk to girls about the importance of delivering on their promise to customers. They can also consider offering a Girl Scouts® Gift of Caring option.

Encourage girls to keep climbing. Once they set a package goal, they might challenge themselves further, like building more marketing or entrepreneurship skills.

YOUR PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES:

⚬ Complete volunteer training with your Service Unit Product Manager. ⚬ Set up your troop in eBudde™, the online cookie management system. ⚬ Distribute materials and collect Parent Permission forms. ⚬ Make sure your Girl Scouts wait until the start date to begin. ⚬ Enter orders from girl order cards and keep eBudde up to date (either on the desktop version or the eBudde™ Troop App Plus). ⚬ Pick up cookies and re-order as needed. ⚬ Distribute cookies to girls/parents. ⚬ Coordinate booth sales for your troop. ⚬ Collect money from cookie pickups, deposit and issue receipts. ⚬ Enter and distribute girl rewards. 7


Preparing for a great season The Girl Scout Cookie Program® is led by girls, but getting all the right tools in place starts with you. We’ve got tools, resources and helpful info to guide your planning.

COOKIE PROGRAM FAMILY MEETING GUIDES

You’ll find everything you need to plan a fun and informative family meeting in these guides, which include resources tailored to each Girl Scout grade level. Action steps to host successful meetings: Hold a family meeting 2–3 weeks before the start of the cookie season and be sure to highlight the Cookie Entrepreneur Family pin. See page 13.

FIRST, ATTEND THE SERVICE UNIT TRAINING FOR TROOPS

All troop leaders and/or troop product managers should attend their service unit’s training to receive information specific to the Cookie Program in their service unit. The Service Unit Product Manager will go over “what’s new” information, dates, deadlines and the service unit’s processes on cookie booth signups. The SUPM will also collect Troop Product Manager Agreements and distribute sales materials. The SUPM has access to a No Sell list for the council, check in with them to make sure none of your Girl Scouts are ineligible to participate in the program.

WHAT MATERIALS WILL YOU RECEIVE?

The Service Unit Product Manager will be responsible for getting any Cookie Program materials to you. Materials will include the following: Receipt Book You will receive two receipt books for your troop. Receipts should be used in every exchange of product, money or rewards. Extra receipt books are available at regional offices.

Family Adult Permission and Responsibility Form Parent or guardian MUST sign one of these for each Girl Scout in their family before receiving sales materials. Order card Girls use this card to take orders during the initial order phase of the Cookie Program. This card is turned in to their troop leader to place their order.

Money Envelope Have girls bring their money to troop meetings in this. Deposit often and count immediately upon receipt with the parent or guardian who gave it to you. Use your receipt book to document the exchange of money. Set time each troop meeting to collect funds from parents and guardians. DO NOT wait until the end of the cookie season to collect money.

Goal Getter Form Using the Goal Getter Order Form, girls can continue to take orders while they wait for the cookies to arrive and keep the momentum of their sale going. Forms should be in the girl order packets and are also available upon request from Product Program staff to print.

Family Guide Give this guide to your parents to help walk them through the season.

An order card can ONLY be given to a girl by a Troop Cookie Manager or Service Unit Product Manager. Girl Scouts—Diamonds staff do not give out cards to girls at the local office without express permission of the Troop Cookie Manager or Service Unit Product Manager. This is done to ensure that Parent Permission slips have been signed BEFORE the girl receives her program order card. Digital copies of materials (order card excluded) may be printed or downloaded from the cookies tab at www. girlscoutsdiamonds.org.

Now it’s time to dream big and set some Cookie Program goals!

Go to camp? Travel? Help your troop brainstorm goals that are challenging while still being realistic. Take some time to let the girls talk about how their individual cookie goals can contribute to the entire troops’ goals and encourage them to help and support each other’s success.

Girl Scouts Give Back Week

|

May 2-6

With Girl Scouts Give Back you can support two causes at the same time: a girl-led cookie business and various worthy organizations across the state.

What is Girl Scouts Give Back? When customers donate money to troops or Girl Scouts during the cookie program, these funds are used to pay for cookies with our Girl Scouts Give Back program. All monetary donations during the cookie program should be used to purchase cookies for donations.

What Happens During Girl Scouts Give Back Week? Girl Scouts gives back thousands of boxes of cookies to community organizations throughout our region. This includes hospitals, universities, veteran's groups, food banks and more!

Who Gets To Help? Cookies are donated in five different regions across the council. Product Program staff will select the two troops with the most donations from each region to participate in the donation of the cookies. If troops are unable to participate physically due to social distancing guidelines, an alternative will be presented. These troops get to experience a whole new side of the cookie program - one of giving back to a community that has supported their cookie program. Girls help unload the truck, learn about the organizations they are giving to, receive a tour, and earn a patch.

Girl Scout Cookie pick-ups

TM

Picking up your cookie order is exciting, and there are a few steps you can take to make sure everything goes smoothly. First, be aware that troops are responsible for counting and verifying the total number of cases received. When in doubt, recount! Action steps for a smooth pickup day: • Know exactly how many cases you ordered of each variety. • Arrive at your scheduled pickup time • Make sure you have enough vehicles to load your order (see chart). • Line up your vehicles at the same time. • Check in and receive your pickup ticket. • Give your pickup ticket to the loader and count cases as they’re loaded in. • Sign for your order and take your receipt.

how many cases can your car carry? Compact car......................23 cases Hatchback car....................30 cases Standard car......................35 cases SUV.....................................60 cases Station wagon...................75 cases Minivan...............................75 cases Pickup truck.....................100 cases Cargo van.........................200 cases

Some Delivery Stations and Cookie Cupboards offer contactless pickup. If your council offers this option, you can use the eBudde™ App to manage your transaction — right from your vehicle!

Take stock and restock!

Deciding how many packages to order for booth sales isn’t an exact science, but here are average sales per cookie variety* to give you an idea of how many to order: Samoas® ......................................25% Thin Mints® .................................22% Tagalongs® ..................................14% Trefoils® .......................................12% Do-si-dos®.....................................11% Lemon-Ups® ..................................9% Girl Scout S’mores® ......................6% Toffee-tastic® ................................3% New cookies, such as this season’s Adventurefuls™, typically represent 8%–10% of sales. *Data from 2019–2020 Girl Scout Cookie Season.

cookie cupboards How it Works Cookie Cupboards are locations during the Booth Sale phase where volunteers can pick up additional cookies. Some service units may have their own cupboard for troops. eBudde access is REQUIRED to place and pick up orders in the cupboards. Cupboard Hours Cupboard hours will be released in January. Orders can be placed through pending orders in eBudde. See eBudde Help Center for directions on this process. How do I place an order? Orders should be placed in eBudde under the Transactions tab. You must click Save before the order is placed. Clicking Okay will not submit your order. You will receive a confirmation email when your order goes through, if you do not, then your order is not complete. Can I edit my order once it is submitted? No, however we can alter the order upon pickup in the cupboard or through an email to product@girlscoutsdiamonds.org. Orders not picked up within 24 hours of the scheduled time will be returned to inventory. Can I walk into the cupboard without an order? Customers who have placed their orders in advance are given priority in our cupboards during pickup time; therefore there may be a waiting period before the order can be filled. We cannot guarantee variety availability without an advance order. What happens with damaged product? Damaged packages/cases will be replaced with like variety only while cupboards are open. Cookies may not be returned or exchanged for different varieties.

NOTE Anyone picking up from the cookie cupboard MUST be able to log into eBudde to digitally sign for their order. You cannot give your password to someone else to sign for your product. Signing for product at the cupboard produces an electronic receipt and logs the product under that person’s name. Parents may be assigned in eBudde in a pickup only role under the Settings Tab. Misuse of the eBudde system in signing for product may cause removal of the user from the eBudde system.

Can I return or exchange for a different variety? No, Girl Scout cookies cannot be returned or exchanged. Once taken, they are the property of the last person who signed for them. Picking up your cupboard order Before arriving at the cupboard, have the eBudde app downloaded on your personal device. Upon arrival to the cupboard location, take a moment to log in. To e-sign for your cupboard pick up, you will click the calendar icon on the home page, select the transaction for your pick up time, count the physical product with the cupboard worker and ensure that it matches the transaction, click process pick up, then confirm pickup.

23


cookie booth essentials If your troop is planning in-person cookie sales events, there are lots of ways girls can creatively rise to the occasion! Whether they run a traditional, drive-thru or pop-up booth, girls will have fun making signs — and gain valuable experience managing money and talking to customers.

COOKIE BOOTH ESSENTIALS Any cookie booths listed in eBudde are linked to the Cookie Finder App. Customers can see when and where booth sales will be. If you cannot attend a booth, please be sure to update eBudde or contact your service unit cookie manager to find a replacement.

TIPS FOR SAFEGUARDING COOKIE MONEY ⚬ After receiving cash and making change, girls should hand the money to a volunteer for safekeeping and to deposit into the cash box as soon as possible. ⚬ Keep the cash box in a safe place or behind a barrier of cookie boxes. ⚬ Don’t walk around with large amounts of money. ⚬ Bank cookie money often and do not keep money at home or at school. ⚬ Reduce cash transactions by offering credit card payment options whenever possible.

Cookie booths are the perfect place for girls to leverage their cookie smarts and unleash their entrepreneurial spirit. But along with that excitement comes some important responsibilities.

BOOTH REQUIREMENTS ⚬ All booth sales must take place in a designated, council-approved area. Troops may contact businesses in their service unit to obtain permission to hold Girl Scout Cookie booths. Please use the “My Sales” feature of the booth sale tab to inform the council of your troop scheduled sales. The Service Unit Product Manager approves booth sale locations. Booth sales should be approved as long as they are within the service unit lines and not adult locations. ⚬ Booths should not be held at adult-only locations that require 18+ age for entrance. Volunteers who drink or smoke at booths are subject to dismissal. ⚬ All booth sales are guided by Volunteer Essentials adult and girl ratios. Every booth sale must have at minimum one registered adult and another unrelated adult present at all times. We recommend no more than 5 girls attend a booth sale at a time. Girls can use the buddy system for bathroom breaks. ⚬ While at a cookie booth, make sure girls wear their uniforms, other Girl Scout–branded clothing, or their membership pin to clearly identify themselves as Girl Scouts. It’s a great way to show your Girl Scout pride! Booths should not block a store entrance or exit. ⚬ Make sure there is adequate space for a table for the cookies to be on display, and the participating girls. Ensure that pedestrians, bikes and cars can safely pass by. ⚬ Always have a first-aid kit available at the booth.

safety tips for product sales The following safety tips are adapted from the Girl Scout publications “Volunteer Essentials”, “Risk Management at Girl Scout Councils” and the “Safety Activity Checkpoints.” For more detailed information on these and other safety practices and procedures, please refer to the aforementioned publications.

These safety tips should be shared and discussed with all girls prior to any product sales. They should also be reviewed periodically with the girls, as necessary.

1. Show you’re a Girl Scout—Wear a Girl Scout membership pin, uniform or Girl Scout clothing (e.g. a Girl Scout T-Shirt) to clearly identify yourself as a Girl Scout. 2. Use the Buddy System—Always use the buddy system. It’s not just safe, it’s fun. 3. Be streetwise—Become familiar with the areas and neighborhoods where you will be selling Girl Scout products. Contact your local police department if you’re unsure about an area or neighborhood.

4. Partner with adults—Adults must accompany Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies and Juniors when

they are taking orders, selling or delivery product. Girls in grades 6-12 must be supervised by an adult when selling door-to-door and must never sell alone. Adults must be present at all times during cookie booth sales.

5. Plan ahead—Be prepared for emergencies and always have a plan for safeguarding money. 6. Do no enter—Never enter the home or vehicle of a person when you are selling or making deliveries. Avoid selling to people in vehicles, except at designated drive-thru cookie booths, or going into alleys.

7. Sell in the daytime—Sell only during daylight hours, unless accompanied by an adult. 8. Protect privacy—Girls’ names, home addresses or email addresses should never be given out

to customers. Protect customer privacy by not sharing their information except as necessary for the product sale.

9. Be safe on the road—Always follow safe pedestrian practices, especially when crossing at intersections or walking along roadways. Be aware of traffic when unloading product and passengers from vehicles.

10. Be Net wise—Girls must have their parent’s/guardian’s permission to participate in all online activities, and must read and agree to the GSUSA Internet Safety Pledge before conducting any online activities. Additionally, in order to participate in Digital Cookies girls must read and abide by the Girl Scout Digital Cookie Pledge and parents/guardians must read and abide by the Digital Cookie Terms and Conditions for Parents/Guardians. 26

Diamonds Dollars

Diamonds Dollars are an electronic credit acknowledging a girl’s hard work and entrepreneurial success. At many rewards levels Diamonds Dollars are an option for selection. This credit is to be used as a girl wishes and at no time should there be pressure by a troop leader or adult to share credit with another individual or group. Things to Remember Diamonds Dollars issued this membership year will expire after one year on June 30, 2023. All Diamonds Dollars come as a code to your troop leader’s email address. Ask your troop leader for this code.

Types of Diamonds Dollars:

Traditional Diamonds Dollars These Diamonds Dollars can be used for council programming, membership or brick and mortar shop purchases. This choice is default so make sure to let your leader know which Diamonds Dollars option your cookie seller would like. You only need the card number when you come into the shop. We also keep these on file in our stores to be used with guardian ID. Online Only Diamonds Dollars These Diamonds Dollars can only be used to make online shop purchases through www.girlscoutshop.com. These are great for older girls who want to purchase Girl Scout “swag” online. These Diamonds Dollars come as a code to the troop leader’s email address at the end of the season. It is the troop leader’s responsibility to forward these to the designated parent/girl. Please note that online purchases will support Girl Scouts – Diamonds! Troop Diamonds Dollars Girl Scouts may decide to donate their Diamonds Dollars to their troop to be used as a group for a program or for the purchase of badges. Signed permission must be provided to the troop cookie manager for this option. The troop will receive one Diamonds Dollars card for all girls who choose this option.

faqs What is the return policy on a box or case of cookies?

What if someone in my community is selling expired cookies or committing fraud?

Once cookies have been signed over and removed from the premises of regional offices or delivered to a service unit or troop, Girl Scouts - Diamonds has a zero return policy on those cookies unless specified in writing by Girl Scouts - Diamonds.

Contact Girl Scouts - Diamonds immediately at product@girlscoutsdiamonds.org. The council will connect with the proper authorities to ensure the safety of the Cookie Program. Please provide as much information as possible: name, troop number, area,

Who is responsible if cookies are lost, stolen or damaged? Financial responsibility remains with the adult who held ownership of the cookies before the incident. In the case of cookies being stolen, we recommend you contact your local authorities and file a police report. In the case of cookies being damaged, we also recommend you contact the appropriate insurers to file a claim. Volunteers and parents are still financially responsible for the cost of the cookies.

What do I do if I encounter counterfeit money or check from a parent or at a booth sale? We recommend that anyone accepting cash also carry counterfeit bill detector pens. Counterfeit detector pens can be found at Walmart, Office Depot and Amazon. Volunteers and/or parents are still financially responsible for any counterfeit money rejected by the bank or turned in to regional offices. We recommend that parents and volunteers not accept checks over $20.

What information do I need to collect to accept a check from a customer? Make sure you get the customer to write their name, address, date of birth, a contact number and Drivers License number on the check. This helps for follow up if checks are hot.

Can I ask my customers to pay for credit card fees at booth sales? GSUSA does not allow girls to solicit donations for the payment of credit card fees. These fees must be paid by the troop or girl.

What if I need to trade cookies to another troop? Do not wait until the last minute to ask for help with unsold cookies. You can make this transfer in eBudde under the transactions tab or email us at product@girlscoutsdiamonds.org. We can facilitate the transaction for you. Cookies may be exchanged between service units and troops at any time. You can also log into the Product Swap Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/ girlscoutsdiamondsproductswap and post or request your information there.

What if a customer wants to buy cookies and donate them? The customer pays for the cookies normally and the cookies would then be subtracted out of the troop’s inventory for donation. The cookies would be assigned to a girl in eBudde under CGOC (Council Gift of Caring). If the cookies are CGOC, the council will deduct these cookies out of our remaining inventory or order more for Girl Scouts Give Back week. These cookies would then be donated by the council for Girl Scouts Give Back.

What if I receive damaged cookie boxes during delivery or missing boxes from a case? The Council Cupboard will swap for the same variety to replace the damaged product.

Parent debt, banking, payments PARENT DEBT

4. Turn in the Parent Debt Form to product@ girlscoutsdiamonds.org with documentation.

YOUR ROLE: If a parent owes money, you will need to complete a Parent Debt Form.

5. Include any information we should know about the account.

Follow these steps:

DID YOU KNOW?

1. Contact the parent and discuss the problem. 2. Complete a Parent Debt Form.

If a parent tries to submit money after you have turned in your final report envelope, have them contact the council to make arrangements to pay. Please do not take their money as this slows down the process to clear their debt.

3. Attach the following to each form: ⚬ A copy of all cookie and money receipts ⚬ Logs of your interactions or attempts to contact the parent

All checks are made payable to Girl Scouts Diamonds of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas.

⚬ Parent Permission Form ⚬ Other information as needed

BANKING AND PAYMENTS

banking information is correct in eBudde and ready to go for the main cookie draft. The second draft is for 100% of remaining funds owed via the Troop Sales Report in eBudde.

How do I accept a check?

All checks should be made payable to the troop and deposited into the troop account. Checks over $20 should not be accepted. Driver’s license information should be written on the check. All active troops should have an active, annual Check Alert form.

Parent debt from approved Parent Debt Forms is subtracted from the amount that the troop owes in the second draft. The troop and service unit do not keep proceeds on debt. Proceeds are reimbursed to both if the debt is paid before October.

Can I accept credit cards? Your troop is required to pay Girl Scouts – Diamonds the full amount due for your troop. We are not responsible for funds held with the credit card accepting company or your banking institution.

After each draft, a deposit for the draft amount is placed against the troop balance in eBudde. This marks the draft’s success.

⚬ Accepting Venmo and Paypal transactions for product are against both platform terms of service. Volunteers and parents use these services at their own risk as charges can be disputed and returned to the customer.

All funds should be paid by the second draft. This keeps Girl Scouts - Diamonds in good financial standing. Troops Cookie Managers who fail the draft two years in a row may be placed on the No Sale List.

⚬ Credit card readers should be linked to the troop account, not a personal account.

Households with an uncollected debt may not participate in future product programs until the debt is paid in full. Households have until July 31 to pay their debt to keep from being disqualified from the following product season (Fall and Cookies).

⚬ All cookie funds should go into the troop account, not a personal account.

Girl Scouts - Diamonds is not responsible for lost or stolen product.

What do I owe the council for cookies? The council draft has two drafts. The first draft is for a single penny. This helps council verify that troop
