Entrepreneurial programs, such as Sweets and Treats Fall Program and the Cookie Program lay the groundwork for developing five essential skills: Money Management, Business Ethics, People Skills, Marketing, and Goal Setting. These skills are not just vital for the program but are crucial life skills that Girl Scouts can use in various aspects of their lives.
Participation in the Cookie Program also allows Juliette Girl Scouts to earn Program Credits, which can be used to purchase items from the GS Shop, go on field trips, attend camps and more-enriching their overall Girl Scout experience.
Ultimately, by participating in the Entrepreneurial Program, girls learn the value of work ethic and understand how to earn their way, fostering a sense of independence and responsibility.
Our Community Product Managers (CPM) are the Juliette mentors for our product programs. They will place planned orders, enter transfers, and enter rewards into our online product portals. Caregivers will pick up Juliette paperwork, products and rewards from these volunteers while participating in either product program. CPMs are your first point of contact.
Caregivers can find contact information for Gateway Council CPM’s here. Reach out to the mentor in your community to let them know your Juliette Girl Scout is ready to participate!

The guidelines and pledge are located on our website and in the files on the Cookies, Gateway Rallyhood.
Social Media Policy
Product program participation should always be led by a Girl Scout under caregiver supervision. Families should always use caution when sharing links on public pages. Through Digital Cookie, caregivers can deny any girl delivery orders they do not feel comfortable delivering in person. When posting online follow these guidelines:
Girls may:
⚬ Post their Digital Cookie link on public social media sites, i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and You Tube
⚬ Post Cookie Booth location
⚬ Post a video and include their Digital Cookie link
⚬ Ask customers to share their Digital Cookie link with friends and family
Girls may not:
⚬ Post their Digital Cookie link on resale sites, i.e. Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Ebay, or on buy, sell, trade sites such as Swip/Swap and Nextdoor
⚬ Post content including last name or direct contact details. i.e phone number, address, school or email
⚬ Direct message anyone that they do not personally know on social media platforms
Cookie Booths: A Path to Reaching Goals!
Cookie Booths give girls the opportunity to achieve their goals by setting up in high-traffic locations within the community. A Girl Scout Cookie Booth isn’t just a “booth” – it’s the troop’s storefront business.
Cookie Booth Requirements
A Girl Scout wearing Girl Scout attire must be present at the cookie booth.
A registered, background-checked adult must be present at each booth.
The price of cookies must be displayed. No siblings or other non-Girl Scouts should be at the booth. Promote Cookie Share for donations.
Ensure Girl Scouts and the table do not block ATMs or entrances/ exits.
Booth setup and breakdown should occur no more than 5 minutes before the start or end of a booth. Be ready for a quick turnover. Take all empty cases with you- do not leave them in the trash at the booth location.
Always follow the Girl Scout Law!
Need to cancel a Cookie Booth?
If your Juliette is unable to use a reserved booth slot, you must cancel it with your CPM. Claimed booth slots are listed on our National Cookie Finder, and we don’t want customers to show up at empty locations!
Please cancel booths as soon as you know your Juliette can’t attend, so other Juliettes/troops have the opportunity to use the slot.

Care to Share Program
The Care to Share Program is the council’s donation program to help various entities. The Care to Share cost is $6.00 per box. You can collect this money on Digital Cookie or in person. The donated cookies will be distributed at the end of the season from the council’s inventory. Donated cookies that are sold are not taken from your personal cookie inventory.
