Last Day to Order More Cookies is March 12


Reminder: Your final Planned Orders for cookies (to fill customer orders or for booth sales) are due at 11:59 p.m. on March 12! 

Managing Inventory Down to Zero

  1. Don’t forget about the Cookie Exchange Notes on Facebook if you are looking for certain varieties of cookies, or have some extras you would like to trade. We have notes for each region:
  2. Remember that customers can purchase cookies to donate through Cookie Share if they've had their fill! Check out our Cookie Share Snap+ Guide and Cookie Share Donation Record for more information. 
  3. We still have booth sale time slots available through the First Come, First Serve process in Snap+!

Gluten Free Trios Available



Trios are still available. To request those cookies, please email cookies@gsiowa.org. 

Entering Recognition Orders in Snap+



After you have completed all of your Troop-to-Girl Transfers, be sure to create your Recognition Order in Snap+!  Recognition Orders are due at 11:59 p.m. on March 27.

Tip of the Week


From Service Unit Product Chair and Troop Product Manager Ona Lee Van Heiden: “Instead of saying $4 for the Cookie Share, we made a sign with where our Cookie Share money is going, and said to donate any amount $1+. We made a separate jar for the donations (planning to donate Cookie Shares depending on what was collected). When the girls made change, they would ask if they would like their change or would they consider donating … IT WENT GREAT!”
