Host a Family Cookie Meeting Family Cookie Meetings are critical to the success of the program and required to receive the Troop Bonus. Held before the program begins, they help provide a foundation of understanding and agreement for both the volunteers and families. Families can talk with their Troop Leaders and Troop Cookie Chair about the upcoming Cookie Program and discuss their goals, learn about forms, share best methods for staying in contact, and agree on roles and responsibilities.
Preparing for the Meeting First things first, invite parents to the upcoming Family Cookie Meeting! At least one adult from each family must participate in the meeting. Then, fill in girl order cards with girls’ first name and last initial, troop number, and program dates.
Parent Permission Form
Parents fill out the Parent Permission and Adult Responsibility Form online before their daughter participates. Parents living in separate households, who will both be assisting their daughter with the Cookie Program, will each need to fill out a form. Cookie Crumb: Scan this QR Code, then forward the 2024 Cookie Program Permission & Responsibility to your parents by text! Share your email address, so parents can forward their confirmation to you for your records.
