The 2016 Cookie Program Starts Monday! 


Starting Monday, February 1, girls can start taking-orders by going door-to-door. They can also start sending e-cards through Cookie Command (COCO)!

Here are some tips to start the program off smoothly:
  • Please be considerate of other Girl Scouts and only start approaching customers on Monday.
  • Best practice: Collect money on cookie delivery, not during order-taking!
  • Encourage girls and customers to take advantage of the fun Contests & Promotions this year, from a recipe contest to entering for a chance to win a year's worth of cookies!
  • Make sure you have collected Product Program Permission Forms from all parents/guardians of girls who will be selling.
  • Encourage families to use social media responsibly during the program.

Girls Get More Out of the Program with COCO!


The COCO Command Center is a fantastic resource for girls to supplement their door-to-door and booth sales! COCO gives girls the power to send ecards to customers, either to deliver themselves, or to have the cookies shipped to their buyers through COCODirect.

Encourage the girls in your troop to set up their COCO account, where they can even set and track their Cookie Program goals!
