I am a Juliette can I sell cookies?
Yes Juliette's can sell cookies just like a girl in a traditional troop. All money for a Juliette goes into a Juliette General Fund account that is maintained here at council. When Juliette's want to use any of those funds they simply fill out a Juliette Fund Request form and that form is submitted electronically to the Product & Retail Sales Manager for review. Juliette's are granted funds based on a banding range criteria.

What is the only authorized site to sell Girl Scout cookies?
CoCoDirect- Girls can create their own personal site where they can set goals and use the marketing options to send E cards to their friends and family asking them to support their sale. Customers can be sent two different E Cards - 1 is just like a face to face interaction where the girl would have to collect the payment and deliver the cookies the other option is a customer can purchase cookies directly online and have them shipped to them within 48 business hours after paying for the cookies.

What happens to the money that a girl earns if she leaves a troop?
All money earned from the sale of cookies belongs to the troop that earned it. Girls who transfer from one troop to another can ask for a donation from the loosing troop to the new troop but this should be a girl decision. The troop that the girls leaves would write a check to the new troop and then that money would be used evenly between all of the girls in the new troop.

What is the difference between a Cookie booth and a Lemonade stand?
A Lemonade stand is where a girl and her Cookie Supporter set up a table at their personal residence and sell their cookies. A cookie booth is a troop function that the TPSC can select the location by using SNAP. A cookie booth requires a minimum of 2 registered adults and 2 registered Girl Scouts at all times. TPSC's will select approved cookie booths by using SNAP starting in February.
