3 Get Started! Registered Girl Scouts can sell cookies online through the Digital Cookie (aka Digital Order Card/DOC) platform! There are two ways for Girl Scouts to sell. We encourage girls to use BOTH options to sell cookies. By using both, girls will reach more customers. Traditional Order Card For customers who want to: order face-to-face pay cash have a Girl Scout deliver February/March 2019 Delivery Digital Order Card For customers who want to: order online pay with a credit card receive long-distance delivery Girl Delivery Option Immediately Order will be submitted to family/troop/ebudde. Cookies delivered to troop as usual. Order will be processed immediately at the bakery and shipped as quickly as possible. A valid parent address is REQUIRED for girls to participate in the Digital Cookie program. Parents who provided an address on their Girl Scout s registration form will receive an invitation in December asking them to enroll in DOC. Girl names will be automatically added to ebudde prior to the sale. Digital Cookie sales begin January 11 and end March 30. DOC orders will update in ebudde automatically (and girls will receive credit) as they are placed. There are NO jurisdictional boundaries with Digital Cookie. A registered Girl Scout can sell cookies online to customers anywhere in the country. Girls may choose to offer some local customers the option of purchasing and paying for cookies online with girl delivery. Although these boxes are paid for, they still need to be added to the initial girl order in ebudde. Visit jerseyshoregirlscouts.org/cookies for full details.

6 Troop Timeline December 28 - January 4 s will be sent to volunteers/parents with information to access Digital Online Cookie. This is an additional option, not intended to replace the traditional cookie order taking. January 2 Troops can begin registering for cookie booth sales using the booth scheduler in ebudde, the cookie ordering system. For access to this system, see Single Sign On Information on page 3. Troops are required to obtain permission from the booth location manager prior to submitting their booth requests. Troops can enter these sales that they secure by clicking on booth sites then my sales and then add a location. Enter the information and please remember to submit once completed. Once approved by council, you can expect to receive an automated confirmation . Council sales will not be available until February due to the process of securing sites with corporate offices, etc. By January 10 Attend a community meeting for training and distribution of cookie sales materials. Distribute sales material to girls, review safety policies and collect signed permission slips to be retained for your reference. Familiarize yourself with ebudde and verify your troop information including your address, troop level, girls listed. See Single Sign On information page. January Girl order taking period. Cost for the traditional six varieties is $4 per box. The two specialty cookies, Toffee-Tastic (gluten free) and S mores are $5.50 per box. Digital Cookie is open/available for girls to sell online to friends and family from January 11 March 30. Digital cookie orders customers purchase to be shipped or donated will automatically transfer over to ebudde. Girl delivery online cookie orders will still need to be ordered manually by the troop along with the paper orders. The online girl delivery option will be the same as the girl s initial order deadline, Jan 27. To be certain all girl delivery online orders are placed with the troop s initial order reference the troop dashboard tab in ebudde prior to submitting the order. Scroll down on the dashboard tab page to view girl delivery orders that will need to be added to the initial order if the girl did not submit these orders on her paper form. By January 29 This is the DEADLINE to collect orders placed on the initial girl order cards as well as any digital online girl delivery orders, and enter them into ebudde. Suggestion have girls submit their orders to you by January 28, to give you time to enter them into the system by your deadline. Troops planning booth sales can order their cookies for these sales along with their initial order along the booth line in ebudde and they will be included, Booth sale cookies can also be ordered at a later date as described below. Please keep in mind that all cookies ordered are the responsibility of the troop and are non-returnable.

7 February Pending orders are open under the transaction tab in ebudde for troops to place booth orders as well as any late orders which can be picked up at the council cookie depots beginning 2/21. When placing additional orders remember the initial order rounds up to full cases so you may have loose boxes to consider in your inventory.
