As an individual Girl Scout, you can connect with a troop to facilitate your cookie program. If there is a group of individually registered girls in your service unit (your local community), you can sell together as a group. Your group of selling girls will decide how you want to use the cookie sale proceeds. A registered Girl Scout adult would need to help you manage the sale. Your service unit may already have someone lined up for this position, but if you know of an adult, who would like to help, be sure to tell us! If you are the only individually registered Girl Scout in your service unit who is participating in the cookie sale, then your sale would be managed by the service unit cookie manager (or another adult designated by the service unit). The troop proceeds that are generated from the sale are retained by the service unit to be used to support individually registered girls. You could request funding for Girl Scout related program, membership, supplies, or other related fees from your service unit.

Thank You for investing in my future!
