Get Ready for the 2016-2017 Cookie Program!

We are excited to share with you this year’s program.  Please take a look at the training schedule below and register for a training that works for you!  ***It is mandatory for 1st time Troop Cookie Managers (Cookie Rookies) and their Troop Leader to attend the Council training.

All registered troops and girls will be uploaded directly into eBudde again this year.  Please make sure you and your girls are registered by November 30th, 2016.

In order to best serve you, we will need you to register for Cookie Training. Please use the Adult Learning & Girl Leadership form found on the council website.   

Please register two weeks before the class date so that we can send you a confirmation e-mail with needed check in information. Our goal is to provide the volunteers and girls with all the information they need to have a positive product sale experience.  Help us to provide that for you by registering early.  We thank you for your commitment to the girls and willingness to be a part of this exciting Girl Scout Cookie Program!

We are providing refreshments, fun and door prizes! In order to be eligible for prizes registration is a must!  Please note that we will not be adding additional trainings.   There is a webinar available for returning troop cookie managers.  If you cannot attend a scheduled training you can do the live webinar or view the recorded session.   Training materials will be distributed by your Service Unit Cookie Manager after training is completed.
