Guidelines for Cookie Dough - 2012 Cookie Sale Program

Cookie Dough (CD) is an earned award for each Girl Scout who participates in the cookie program, and sells a minimum of 50 packages of cookies.  Cookie Dough was issued May 15, 2012. Girls receive their Cookie Dough from their troop leader, if your daughter has not yet received her's contact your troop leader. Cookie Dough is earned per packages sold as follows:

• Sell 50 - 100 packages of cookies and earn $.10 per package in Cookie Dough
• Sell 101-149 packages of cookies and earn $.15 per package in Cookie Dough
• Sell 150+ packages of cookies and earn $.20 per package in Cookie Dough

If a Girl Scout receives a campership, the total amount of CD earned must be applied to her camp balance.  Mail the CD certificate to the Council with her camp or campership paperwork.
 
Sisters who are registered girl members of Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains may combine their packages sold to earn the higher CD rate AFTER each girl has sold a minimum of 50 packages.  The troop of one of the sisters submits the “Combine Sisters’ Cookie Dough” form to the SU Cookie Sale Manager, as soon as possible.
