Cookie Sale Program - Troop FAQs

What if I ordered too many cookies?

In the event you over-order, DO NOT PANIC! However, you will need to act quickly. Notify your Service Unit Cookie Manager (SUCM) or your Service Unit Manager IMMEDIATELY. These volunteers will assist you in finding a troop who needs your extras.

What if there is a damaged product?

  • If a customer is displeased and/or rejects a package of cookies order due to damage, recover the damaged product and replace it with an acceptable product from your extra cookies.
  • Call your SUCM and she will arrange to replace the damaged product for you.
  • Always remember - customer satisfaction is the foundation of a successful program!

How many cookies should I order for a booth sale?

The best-selling varieties are Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-Si-Dos and Trefoils. The amount you sell at a booth sale will vary depending on location, day and time of sale.  Ask your SUCM for advice. 

What does the Council use cookie money for?

The money raised from the cookie program is used to keep the Council operating in an efficient manner that provides girls with innovative programs. It is used to maintain and develop our camp facilities, provide year-long activities for girls, and for girl financial aid, so activities are available to all girls who wish to participate. The money is also used for volunteer development and resources such as trainings, manuals, and staff support.

Approximately how many cookies will fit in my car?

Compact car - 30-35 cases 
Standard car - 45-50 cases
Standard station wagon - 70-75 cases
SUV/mini van - 100-150 cases
Standard pickup - 100 cases

Amounts may vary depending on layout of vehicle and whether you remove the seats completely.
