 1. Goal setting—as she sets cookie sale goals and creates a plan to reach them.
 2. Decision-making—as she decides how approach her customers.
 3. Money management—as she makes a budget, takes orders and handles customers’ money.
 4. People skills—as she learns to talk and listen to all kinds of people while selling cookies.
 5. Business ethics—as she is honest and responsible every step of the way.

Quick Note on Palm Oil

             • Since 2015, all Girl Scout Cookies baked by LBB contain RSPO Certified (Mass
               Balance) Palm Oil. This Mass Balance System ensures that the palm oil LBB
               uses contributes to the production of environmentally responsible, socially
               beneficial and economically viable palm oil.

             • There is currently only one supplier in North America that offers RSPO-
               certified segregated version of the ingredients LBB uses, so supply is limited.
               As a socially responsible company, Little Brownie’s goal is to secure a 100%
               deforestation-free and exploitation-free palm oil supply chain, and they are
               working hard with partners to make the complex shifts necessary to achieve
               this goal.

Caregiver Role in the Cookie Program
Girls succeed when families get involved. You can support your girl
by giving her love, guidance, and inspiration. There are also some
specific responsibilities you’ll need to assume to ensure your girl
achieves her goals:

• Ensure your Girl Scout Juliette does not take orders prior to sale
  start date on January 1, 2022.
• Collect payment upon delivery, not before. Be sure to turn over
  all funds to your Product Sales Coordinator at Council.
• Remember that cookies cannot be returned to council once
  signed for.
• Accept financial responsibility for all cookies and money
  received.
• The cookie program helps girls learn honesty and fairness.
  Please understand that failure to account for money and cookies
  received will be considered misappropriation of funds.
• Help your Girl Scout Juliette set goals and coach her on how to
  sell.

How Girl Sell Cookies – Order Taking
Girls ask neighbors, friends, and family members to place orders
for cookies. They write their orders on the paper order card,
which is turned in to your Product Sales Coordinator at Council,
who will enter these orders into the eBudde Cookie Management
System. Payment is collected from the customer when girls deliver
cookies in March

they know, asking them to buy cookies. Customers place online

credited to the Girl Scout Juliette and towards the girl’s reward
totals.

of funds she has available and how to request them to pay for
membership, program, or camp registration or for Council retail
purchases. There will be a JotForm link in the email to make it easy to
request funds for Membership or Program. To use in the shop, you will
need to be in person at the Council shop or regional Unique Boutiques
and they can confirm the available amount.
