For Volunteers

Thank you for volunteering to support your Girl Scout Troop’s Cookie program. Because of you, girls gain valuable skills that will help them succeed. The Girl Scout Cookie program is a fun way for girls of all ages to earn money to achieve their goals, and it's a powerful, hands-on leadership and entrepreneurial program.

Top five reasons you should absolutely participate in the Cookie Program:

Life Skills: The Cookie program helps girls and you develop leadership skills for life, including goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.

It’s EASY to participate: Your Troop Cookie Manager can access eBudde, and resources for girls to track and manage their businesses.

Financial benefits: Your troop will earn money to help offset the cost of activities, outings, program supplies and so much more! And in the process, girls gain skills to be financially independent.

Girls can earn fabulous rewards: Rewards help girls set goals, to reach high levels of achievement.

Your girls will THANK YOU: Many successful business women say they got their start selling Girl Scout Cookies.

Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia's Cookie Program will take place
January 1 - March 14, 2021.

Withdrawal Authorization Form
For Troop Leaders & Service Area Managers (For Bonus) - A signer of thr troop account must complete this form giving GSHG permission to credit, or debit, the troop bank account.

Troop Debt Procedure
For Troop Leaders & Troop Product Managers - Must be signed by the Troop Leader and Cookie Manager and returned to GSHG prior to participation. Must be printed and signed by person accepting the troop product management position and troop leader. If troop defaults, or proper procedures outlined in this form are not followed, the person(s) completing the form is solely responsible for any uncollected cookie debt.
Cookie Parent Permission Form
For Parents - Must be completed online by a parent or legal guardian. If personal credentials, valid driver's license number and social security number are not provided, cookies must be pre-paid for.
Parent Debt Procedure
For Parents - Form must be signed by every parent with a Girl Scout participating in the Cookie Program and returned to GSHG prior to participation. Must be printed and signed by parent or guardian accepting financial responsibility for cookies. If form is not completed, cookies must be pre-paid for.

Delinquent Account Form
For Troop Leaders & Service Area Product Mangers - In the event a parent does not pay for cookies by your troop's set deadline, a Delinquent Form is required. Failure to complete the Delinquent Form by the published notification deadlines will result in the Troop Product Manager being solely responsible for any missing funds. Please see the Troop and Parent Debt Forms for specific procedures.
Operation Cookies from Home Patch Order Form
For Troop Leaders & Troop Product Managers - Troops who had girls donate cookies to Operation Cookies from Home (OCFH) should complete this form in order for the girls to receive their patch. Typically these cookies are virtually donated (council sends bulk cookies at the end of the sale directly to local military bases), however, some girls know military personally and opt to mail them cookies directly. In that case, the cookies come out of the troop supply, are credited to the girl under the OCFH column and USPS form is needed to complete the form.
