Reward Experiences
         Frequently Asked Questions
Cookie Club Events
Question: What happens if we cannot attend on one of the dates and locations listed?
Answer: Because Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas pays for tickets and meal vouchers based
on reward selections, the Girl Scout and her chaperone must plan to attend one of the
dates and locations listed if she selects this reward experience. Alternative rewards and
dates will not be offered.

Question: Can the Girl Scouts supporters who purchase discounted group tickets through
this reward experience option enter the park at the same time as the Girl Scout if early
park hours are offered at the location.
Answer: Yes!

done so?
Answer: After the 2022 Cookie Program wraps up, GSNETX will audit to ensure that girls
who selected this reward are registered. Anyone not registered for a camp session will be

Great Wolf Lodge
Question: What happens if my Girl Scout selects this reward experience and later cannot
attend?
Answer: Depending on the cancellation window, which will be included in additional
communication from GSNETX, the Girl Scout may be able to select a different Super Seller
item. If a family cancels or is not able to attend after the cancellation window has passed,
Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas cannot offer an alternative reward item as we have paid
for the room that is no longer refundable.

         Frequently Asked Questions
Great Wolf Lodge
Question: What if we want a different room type than what is assigned to us?
Answer: Girl Scouts who are attending this event as part of our Super Seller group cannot
make room changes or request upgrades beyond reasonable accomodations for
wheelchair accessible rooms. Any requests made to the hotel to change or upgrade rooms
will not be honored within our room block.

Question: What if we want to add a night and pay to arrive early/extend our stay?
Answer: Families are welcome to book a room with the hotel directly so that they can
extend the fun of Super Seller weekend, however the hotel cannot guarantee that you will
not have to move rooms. Often times, guests will have to check out of their rooms and
check back in with Girl Scouts to a different room block.

Tourist for a Day, Texas Road Trip & Savannah, Georgia
Question: How does spending money work on these experiences?
Answer: Because the experiences are all inclusive, extra spending money is generally not
required. Girls will have some limited opportunities for gift shop purchases and are
responsible for their own purchases and transactions.
