Cookie Sale Training

Thank you for volunteering to manage your troop's cookie sale! If this is your first year as a troop cookie sale manager, you will probably be surprised at how the cookies seem to sell themselves, and how much the girls in your troop wil lenjoy the experience. As the troop cookie sale manager, you will be responsible for managing all of the facets of the Girl Scout Cookie Sale program for your troop.

To get started, all NEW troop cookie sale managers are required to complete an online training. This training consists of six short powerpoint presentations with each one followed by a small set of questions. Once your background checks (required of all volunteers) are successfully completed you will be sent an email link to this online training. Once all six sections of this training have been completed you will be invited to attend a meeting to receive your troop cookie sale materials from your Community Cookie Sale Manager. Please complete the training as soon as possible after receiving the training link.

In early December, all registered troops with 5 registered girls, 2 registered adult leaders, and a registered troop cookie sale manager (who has completed the online training if new) will be uploaded to eBudde, the online troop ordering system. Please complete your online cookie sale training as soon as possible so your troop can be included in the upload.
