Travel Bucks & Cookie Dough

COOKIE DOUGH

The Cookie Dough Card is designed to be earned and used by individual Girl Scouts. It is separate from troop proceeds, which are earned by each troop to support activities and projects. Cookie Dough Cards are not to be accepted for troop dues or to become part of the troop treasury.

Cookie Dough Cards may be used toward the fees for any GSSOAZ-sponsored camp or event, GSUSAsponsored Destination or travel program, funding for Highest Awards projects, or toward merchandise from the GSSOAZ retail shops.

Cookie Dough Cards are not redeemable for cash.

Cookie Dough Cards from the 2019 season will expire on Februray 28, 2020.

Travel bucks are designed to give girls the opportunity to convert their earned Cookie Dough (before its expiration date!) into virtual funds that they can save up to use later on travel experiences, either through the GSUSA Destinations program or through council-sponsored travel opportunities.

In order to convert Cookie Dough into Travel Bucks, the following rules must be followed:

The Cookie Dough must be submitted to the local Girl Scout office via the online form found at girlscoutssoaz.org/ cookieresources.

Cookie Dough must be converted prior to their expiration date. Cookie Dough for the 2019 season will expire on 2/28/20.

Travel Bucks expire 5 years from the original Cookie Dough expiration date. If they are not redeemed by their expiration date, they are forfeited. Travel bucks converted during the 2019 cookie program will expire 2/28/24.

Travel Bucks are issued in whole dollar amounts only, with a minimum of $25 to do a conversion.

Travel Bucks are not transferable to another person.

Travel Bucks can only be used for GSSOAZ council-sponsored trips or GSUSA Destinations.
