The FIRST time you log into SNAP, click on “Edit My Profile” in the upper right-hand corner.

Add or edit all profile information and click “Edit User.” Be sure that all information on the screen is accurate and complete.

The FIRST time you log into SNAP, click on the “My Troop” Icon and click “Edit Troop Information.”

• Add or edit all Troop information. • Be sure to confirm your email address. • Select your Troop “Level.” If you have a multi-level troop, even ONE girl at a different level, select “Group” • Be sure to add an “Alternate Contact” especially if you are NOT the troop leader.


Entering Girls in SNAP Girls must be confirmed in SNAP by January 24th.

• Click on the “My Troop” Icon and then click on “Add/Edit/Delete Troop Girls” • All girls registered in your troop (as of the date of the Personify upload) should be listed. Confirm that all names are included and accurate, FIRST NAME FIRST, LAST NAME LAST.

NOTE: If you utilize “Booth Girl” as a holding place in SNAP, be sure to name her “BOOTH SALE GIRL” or “I-CARE GIRL” or “CUPBOARD GIRL.” Once the sale has concluded, we need to be able to identify these as holding places and not actual girls, so that they don’t affect your PGA. Please refrain from using names such as “Lopez Stock” or “Cookie Crisp” as these are easily overlooked when reviewing PGA’s for rewards. If a girl is listed that is no longer in your troop, she should be deleted from SNAP by clicking on the RED X. Be sure to follow-up with Council so that she will be permanently removed from Personify. Remember, removing her from SNAP only removes her from the sale, not from your troop. Add all girls that are in your troop but are not appearing in SNAP. Be sure to enter names EXACTLY as they have registered, so that you don’t cause duplicates when the second Personify upload occurs. Add FIRST AND LAST NAMES ONLY, and click “Add Girl.” Disregard all other boxes. The USUSAID box will be used for current grade, later in the sale.

(Example~ If you order 5 cases, they will appear as 60 packages in your troop inventory.) Although you order your cases per variety, they are not listed by variety in your troop inventory. All cookies that you receive from your initial cookie order and Cookie Cupboards, will be added into SNAP for you. DO NOT enter them yourself as this will result in a double entry. However, confirm that the SNAP entry matches the cookies received. Please allow 24 hours for cupboard cookies to be transferred from the Cupboard into your troop inventory. Your Troop Inventory should reflect all unsold cookies as well as cookies that are not checked out to individual girls. These become your booth cookies and extra cookies used to fill orders.
