    		                         transfer (ACH)

                                        FAMILIAR TERMS
    ACH DEBIT - When troop funds are electronically taken from a troop account to cover payments for cookies the troop has
    ordered or transferred in from another troop. To be ACH ready means that the troop has set up a troop bank account and
    completed and turned in the ACH paperwork. ACH paperwork is available on the cookie portion of the council website (www.
    getyourgirlpower.org) in the forms section.

    COOKIE BOOTHS - Locations, usually stores, where girls sell cookies to customers. Troops should bring tables, chairs,
    cookies and change. GSCI works with some of the local retailers to secure locations for troop leaders and these locations
    may be reserved through the Cookie Booth Scheduler. Troops are encouraged to set up their own cookie booth locations
    since most cookie reservations set up by the council go fast. Successful cookie booths are in high traffic areas, display
    troop goals and incorporate eye-catching marketing.

    COOKIE CUPBOARDS - Locations where cupboard orders arrive and are picked up by the troop. Some regions will have
    multiple location choices for cupboard order pickups.

    COOKIE DOUGH - Credit earned by selling cookies. Cookie Dough may be used toward day and resident camp, council-
    sponsored programs and items in the Trefoil Boutique (except gift cards). Cookie Dough expires on September 19,
    2020, and will not be accepted as payment after this date.

    DIGITAL COOKIES - The new online way to sell cookies to customers. Digital Cookie customers can have their cookies
    shipped directly to their home or donated to Operation Cookie Share. Customers can even request their cookies be deliv-
    ered by the Girl Scout, all while paying with a credit card. Each family and troop leader must have an email address
    on file to gain access to Digital Cookies.

    DIRECT SALE FORMAT - Allows girls to have cookies in-hand to sell door-to-door to family, friends, and neighbors. With
    the direct sale format there is only one transaction, and selling is condensed into one simple step.

    INITIAL ORDER - The first order a troop places. The initial order must be placed in eBudde by January 14, 2020.

Get ready to WOW THE WORLD this Girl Scout season!
There is a reason the Girl Scout Cookie Program is a celebrated tradition. It's an amazing opportunity for girls to WOW THE
WORLD and build lifelong skills!

                        The largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world also offers an incredible opportunity for you
     A NEW              as a volunteer. You get to see firsthand how girls grow, learn and come into their own.
     YEAR               Your most important function in preparing for the Girl Scout Cookie Program will be the time you
    OF THE              spend with the girls in the troop. Through the cookie program, even the youngest Girl Scouts gain self-
  GIRL SCOUT            confidence and poise by learning how to greet customers and offer cookies for purchase.
    COOKIE              The Troop Leader and Troop Cookie Coordinator should work closely throughout the sale and
   PROGRAM              communicate the progress of the sale on a continuing basis. This resource is written to help you orga-
    AWAITS!             nize and conduct the most successful cookie campaign possible and has been designed to help you
                        make the most of your time and energy. Please take the time to thoroughly review the new updates to
the program, general facts, important dates, guidelines, procedures, and forms provided. This guide should answer most of
your questions.

A Direct Sale format will provide your troop more opportunity in sales and troop profit. Girls will earn Cookie Dough and
rewards throughout the entire program, including during Cookie Booths. This means that girls will earn more Cookie
Dough and rewards and parents/guardians will save lots of time because cookies in hand means just one transaction. Return-
ing to customers’ homes after an order has been placed is now a thing of the past!

To help your troop manage your cookie inventory, and also to provide cookies for additional sales, your troop will be provided
seven opportunities to place a troop order. You will have one initial order and six additional cupboard orders. As in previous
years, your initial order will arrive at your local delivery site. (After your initial order you will have six opportunities to place
additional cupboard troop orders.) The cupboard orders will arrive at strategic locations and you will have an opportunity to
choose your cupboard delivery location. Cookie inventory management will be very important to you. Inventory management
requires communicating with girls and parents. With good communication between the troop cookie coordinator and parents,
your troop will be able to have cookies when and where you need them and your troop will not end up with more than you
need. The resources on GetYourGirlPower.org contain several tools that will help you determine troop orders as well as tools
that will help you keep track and manage your troop inventory.

If you have questions we are here to help! Our Coordinators, Program Specialists, Membership Recruiters, Support
Specialists, and Product Sales team will be happy to assist. Have a safe and fun cookie season!

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is a great responsibility - it could not happen without you. We are confident you will find the
experience to be both enjoyable and rewarding. Thank you for your support and dedication to the success of the program.

                     Please note that Girls/Troops may not make any deliveries until February 7.

                    To better serve the financial needs of troops and our council, we will have THREE ACH PAYMENTS.
                    The first ACH payment is for one third of the initial order (minus troop profit), the second ACH pay-
                    ment is for one third of the total amount owed to council and the last ACH payment will cover all
                    remaining balance owed to council. Please review the Cookie Calendar for ACH dates.

                           WHAT IS A DIRECT SALE?
WHAT IS A DIRECT SALE?
Girl Scouts of Central Illinois will be using a direct-sale format to sell cookies for the cookie program. Girls will have
boxes IN HAND to sell door-to-door to family, friends, and neighbors. Girl Scouts exchange cookies and payment in one easy
step! No more taking orders, waiting weeks, and then returning for the delivery and money collection. A direct sale program
condenses all that work into one simple step.

HOW DO I ORDER COOKIES?
Your first cookie order is called the Initial Order. For you to have
cookies in hand by February 7, 2020 you must place an Initial order
through the eBudde ordering system. The easy step by step
instructions are found on page 22 and advice on how much and
which varieties to order are found on page 9.

NO RETURN POLICY
Little Brownie Bakers does not allow GSCI to return unsold cookies.
GSCI does not allow Girl Scout troops to return unsold cookies, and
troop leaders should not allow parents/guardians to return unsold
cookies. The orders your troop places should be based on the demand
of your Girl Scouts (with parent/guardian consent). If you accept return
cookies from your parents, you are personally accepting
responsibility for the cost of the cookies that are being returned.
GSCI does not encourage troop leaders/cookie coordinators to accept
return cookies from parents.

                                                                                                                                      7

    season, they learn an important skill for life. Encourage girls to set two types of goals: Something
    they’d like to try and something they can do to help others.

    cookies with the option of getting in-person delivery or direct shipment to their home, based on council approved methods of
    delivery.

    DOOR-TO-DOOR SALES
    Encourage girls to canvas their community with buddies and adult partners, leaving no doorbell unrung! Sell door-to-door with
    cookies in hand. Load up a wagon with cookies, make signs, and you are ready for a neighborhood walk-about.

    SOCIAL NETWORKING
    Online social networking sites are a great place for teens (13 and older with parent permission) to ask for cookie orders. Be
    sure girls follow the GSUSA safety guidelines for online marketing!

    TELEPHONE SALES
    It’s fast and easy to sell Girl Scout Cookies by phone. Review order cards from previous years and contact customers again.
    Once cookies have been delivered, call customers, thank them for their orders and ask if they need additional cookies. Try a
    text-a-thon. Girls may want to text their friends and family to let them know it’s cookie time and ask for orders.

    WORKPLACE SALES
    With a parent as a guide, contact business owners to request permission to sell cookies. Girls can make either a quick “sales
    pitch” at a staff meeting or make sales calls around the office, depending on the wishes of the business. You may be able
    to leave an order card or have an adult oversee a sales card. Just remember it’s the girl’s responsibility to fill the order. Girls
    should establish a date and time to pick up the order cards and deliver the cookies.

                           BOOTH SALES
                           Booth sales are a great way to increase your team’s success. Remember, you must have the appropriate
                           permission from the booth location. Grocery stores, malls, banks, sporting events, community events
                           and high traffic locations are great for booth sales.

GIRL SAFETY ALWAYS COMES FIRST
Always follow the safety rules for selling Girl Scout cookies:

• Show you’re a Girl Scout—Wear the Girl Scout membership pin and/or Girl Scout clothing to identify yourself as a Girl Scout.

• Buddy up—Always use the buddy system. It’s not just safe, it’s more fun.

• Be streetwise—Become familiar with the areas and neighborhoods where you will be selling Girl Scout cookies.

• Partner with adults—Adults must accompany Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies and Juniors when they are taking orders, selling
  or delivering product. Girls grades 6-12 must be supervised by an adult when selling door-to-door and must never sell alone.
  Adults should be present at a cookie booth in any public place at all times.

• Plan ahead—Always have a plan for safeguarding money, and avoid walking around with large amounts of it or keeping it at
  home or school. Give proceeds to supervising adults, who should deposit it as directed by your Girl Scout council as soon as
  possible.

• Do not enter—Never enter the home or vehicle of a person when you are selling or making deliveries. Avoid selling to people
  in vehicles or going into alleys.

• Sell in the daytime—Sell only during daylight hours, unless accompanied by an adult.

• Protect privacy—Girls’ names, addresses, or email addresses should never be given out to customers. Use a group contact
  number or address overseen by an adult for customers to request information, reorder or give comments. Protect customer
  privacy by not sharing their information except for the product sale.

• Be safe on the road—Always follow safe pedestrian practices, especially when crossing at intersections or walking along
  roadways. Be aware of traffic when unloading product and passengers from vehicles.

• Social Media and online posts should be signed with a girls first name only, troop number (optional) and council name
  (Girl Scouts of Central Illinois).

DIGITAL COOKIE
     BIG NEWS!
     The Girl Scout Cookie Program you know and love has gone beyond the booth and now offers an e-commerce way to sell and
     buy cookies—and support girls’ learning at the same time. The Digital cookie platform helps prepare girls to be leaders in the
     fast-paced e-commerce world of today. With the Digital Cookie platform, girls can customize the way they learn and earn,
     using technology in a whole new way and earning cool cookie badges along the way!
     With Digital Cookie girls can:
             1. Promote their troop’s cookie business and inspire more support than ever—with more ways to sell and more ways
                to talk to customers about the cookie business
             2. Keep track of cookie customers—because an organized Cookie Boss is a rock star Cookie Boss!
             3. Take digital credit card orders for in person delivery or shipped orders. Customers appreciate being able to easily
                pay for their cookies. Less hassle equals more support!
             4. Ship cookies directly to customers or have customers share the love with a cookie donation.

     HOW DOES DIGITAL COOKIE WORK?
     It’s a lot like buying your cookies at a traditional cookie booth but with an online twist. The girls initiate a cookie sale, whether
     online, via email or in person at the cookie booth with their mobile app.

     She can invite customers to visit her personalized cookie website where they can place an order, pay using a credit card, have
     their order shipped/delivered by a Girl Scout or even donate cookies to Operation Cookie Share. Some Girl Scouts may take
     in-person orders using a mobile app that also allows them to securely accept payments using credit cards. Customers select
     cookies, place their order and complete their transaction.

     DIGITAL COOKIE SET UP BEGINS JANUARY 6!
     For Girl Scouts and volunteers to participate in Digital Cookies the volunteer AND Girl Scout must be registered and GSCI must
     have your correct email address on file. On January 6, the Girl Scout will receive an email from “Girl Scout Cookie Program”
     with the subject “Ready Set Register for Digital Cookie”. From there simply register, create a password and set up your Girl

     registration, site set up, sending customer emails, receiving/approving online orders and more. Being their own Cookie Boss
     will provide them with valuable e-commerce skills and will be fun and exciting at the same time!

February 7, 2020 - Direct Sale Begins

OPERATION COOKIE SHARE
Operation Cookie Share has been a huge success. Girl Scouts of Central Illinois has provided over $1,000,000 worth of
Girl Scout cookies to the women and men of our armed forces at home and abroad. In fact, our Girl Scouts were so successful
that this achievement is entered in the Illinois Congressional Records.
With Operation Cookie Share orders, your troops will receive $1 per box troop profit.

HOW OPERATION COOKIE SHARE WORKS
Even though we are using a directs-sale format, girls should still take along their order cards. On each girl’s order card there is
a column listing each variety of cookie plus one additional column labeled “Cookie Share.” When the girls go out with cookies
in hand (and during cookie booths!), please encourage them to not only ask the customer to purchase Girl Scout cookies for
themselves, but also to ask the customers to purchase cookies for our military troops. Girls will enter the number of boxes
each customer donates on the Cookie Boxes Donated column. Customers do not have a choice of the variety of cookies to
be sent to troops. Operation Cookie Share cookies are held in a “virtual warehouse”, troops do not take possession of these
cookies. At the end of the program, all Operation Cookie Share orders are accounted for and then shipped to military soldiers
at home and abroad.

DIGITAL ORDER CARD When Girl Scouts send out emails through Digital Cookies, customers will have the opportu-
nity to donate to Operation Cookie Share.

SHARE PATCH AND MORE
Girls that sell 12 boxes for Operation Cookie Share will earn a Gift of Caring patch. Girls that sell 24 boxes will earn a
Butterfly Carabiner and girls that sell 50 or more Operation Cookie Share will earn the Mini Disco Ball!

HOW ARE THE COOKIES DELIVERED TO MILITARY TROOPS?
A special thanks to Soldiers Angels and Operation Santa. Many of the donated cookies will arrive at home and abroad through
these organizations. Also, donated cookies are sent to Great Lakes Naval facility, Illinois Veteran Retirement Homes and medi-
cal facilities, local USO’s and the Illinois National Guard.

                                       OPT-OUT OPTION
Girl Scouts Junior or older will be allowed to opt out of receiving rewards and Cookie Dough in exchange for a higher troop
profit. All rewards will be forfeited, including free memberships; however, girls will still receive any patches earned. Whichever
option is chosen applies to the entire troop, not a girl-by-girl basis. If a troop decides to opt out of rewards and Cookie Dough,
the troop will earn $0.85 for each package sold. Troops must decide to opt out prior to the initial order (January 14). Please
refer to page 20, “Update Your Troop Information,” for information on how to opt out.

A troop bonus of
                               100
will be given to troops that place an initial order with a per girl selling average of 180 boxes (with a minimum of 900 boxes
ordered: 5 girls selling an average of 180 boxes). The initial order is the first order placed by the troop. Troops have an
opportunity to earn a $100 troop bonus based on their initial cookie order. If a troop places an initial order with a per girl
selling average of 180 boxes, the troop will earn the bonus. For example, if a troop has 10 girls, they would need to order at
least 1,800 boxes for their initial order to earn the bonus. Also, for a troop with less than 5 girls, they must order at least 900
boxes to qualify. Troop bonuses will be issued through ACH credit. Please Note: Troop balances must be paid by final
ACH date (April 7) and have a PGA of 180 by March 22 to receive the $100 troop bonus.

REWARDS (INCLUDING COOKIE DOUGH!)
     Girl Scouts of Central Illinois offers an empowering reward program that affords Girl Scouts the opportunity to make a variety
     of choices. Through this reward program, the girls will follow a decision-making process that includes goal setting, product
     choice evaluation, and making purchasing decisions based on what they have earned. Our reward program not only rewards
     and encourages girls to set goals and work as a team, but they also provide girls with a hands-on experience with purchasing
     and financial decision making.

     HOW COOKIE DOUGH WORKS
       • Cookie Dough and rewards will be earned throughout the entire cookie program, including booth sales!

       • To encourage goal setting, girls must sell 75 boxes of cookies to qualify for Cookie Dough.

       • Cookie Dough will be distributed on a Girl Scout Cookie Dough card. Every girl who sells 75 boxes of cookies or more will
         receive a Girl Scout Cookie Dough card.

       • Cookie Dough may be used to pay for GSCI sponsored activities and events (resident camp, day camp, one-day events,
         and bus trips), membership registration, cookie rewards, and merchandise in council Trefoil Boutiques.

       • A leader can use a girl’s Cookie Dough Card with written permission from her and her parent/guardian. A Cookie Dough
         Permission Form is available in the cookie form section of our website. With permission, leaders can use the Cookie
         Dough Card for Girl Scouts of Central Illinois activities and events (resident camp, day camp, one-day events, trips),
         membership registration, cookie incentives and merchandise in the council Trefoil Boutique.
