This year's Girl Scout Cookie Program theme, What Can A Cookie Do?, reminds girls that they have the power to do anything they set their minds to. Plus, it's an opportunity to think about the many ways the cookie activity yields tangible results in support of the Girl Scout Leadership Model.

Project Troop to Troop

Through Project Troop to Troop, customers sponsor packages of Girl Scout cookies that are sent by Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains to our men and women in uniform. In 2011, over 26,000 packages of cookies were delivered to service men and women stateside and overseas.

Offer customers the opportunity to purchase cookies for Project Troop to Troop in addition to their personal order. Or, if a customer says, “I am on a diet.” or “I can’t eat cookies because of a medical condition.”, be sure to tell them about Project Troop to Troop!

Check back soon for support materials such as posters, cards, etc. your troop can download and use. For more details about Project Troop to Troop, talk to your Troop Cookie Chair!

Cookie Bucks

Cookie Bucks can be used towards camp, activities, and items at GS-TOP shops.

Use this formula to determine your balance:
Session Fee divided by Number of Days in Session = $ Cost per Day of Camp.

For example, a $300, six day session would be $50 per day. If you apply 400 packages of cookies toward that camp session, you would owe two days, or $100.
Cookie Bucks may not be used to pay the $25 deposit unless the entire camp fee is paid with Cookie Bucks.

Sister Cookie Bucks Transfer
If sisters are registered Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains and have participated in the 2012 cookie sale, a one-time transfer of any number of cookie packages from one sister to another can be made.

For more information about using Cookie Bucks, please contact the Product Sales Staff in your area.
