As cookie entrepreneurs, Girl Scouts learn valuable life skills while earning money to fund troop adventures and activities like camping, community service projects, travel, and more. All of this is possible because of you, our amazing volunteers, who dedicate valuable time and effort to supporting entrepreneurs in the cookie program. Thank you for everything you do to ensure this program is an enriching, safe, and exciting experience for all Girl Scouts.
Throughout the cookie program, it is important that you are up to date on current program needs and changes. The cookie team will provide you with communication in several ways.
We are excited to announce that we will be continuing our communication through Rallyhood. Rallyhood is an all-in-one platform for Girl Scout communication and collaboration. You will receive an invite to join a group on Rallyhood based on your participation role during the cookie program. The Rallyhood app is free and will provide a simple way to keep up with the cookie program. Watch your email for an invitation to join!
