You’ve Got This, Marina!

There is a little less than two weeks left of the 2021 Girl Scout Cookie Program! Now is the time to make that final push, and reach your troops’ goals! With volunteers like you, nothing is out of reach for your troop!

As a reminder, Digital Cookie and troop link portion of the Girl Scout Cookie Program for direct shipment and donation will continue through Wednesday, March 31, 2021! Girls rewards will also be earned for all boxes sold until March 31.

Please see the updated list of important dates below:

March 31 - Digital Cookie Closes for Shipped & Donated Orders
April 5 - Troop eBudde deadline for box allocation and reward selections
April 9 - Final electronic payment withdrawal for remaining balance due
Week of April 26 – Rewards begin to ship to Service Units

Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta set a goal to donate 50,000 boxes of cookies to essential workers in our community during the month of March, and we are so close! Let customers know that all cookies donated in March (via Digital Cookie and/or those tracked in the S4M column of the order card) will be distributed to teachers, nurses, doctors, police, firefighters and more, as a way to send a heartfelt thank you for keeping us safe and healthy over the last year.

In-Person Selling during Hero Month
Support essential workers in two ways - do one or do both!

1. When collecting donations for essential workers outside of Digital Cookie, you will want to:
   Collect donations for the council initiative: Ensure girls collect the $4 contributions per box that you will log in eBudde under the S4M column. The troop earns proceeds, girls earn rewards and GSGATL handles the delivery to the council’s partnering organizations for distribution to essential workers - there is nothing for the troop to deliver!
2. Collect donations for the troop's chosen hero group: Decide as a troop who and where the troop would like to donate cookies. Collect the money for these donations and use your troop’s inventory to make your contactless delivery to your chosen cause. Note: These cookies should not be logged in the S4M column in eBudde since you are using your current inventory, simply provide girls with standard box credit.

Note: Beginning March 1, boxes logged in the S4M column of eBudde will allow girls to earn this special Hero Patch and will continue to allow girls to earn the S4M reward items featured on the order card.

Need inspiration? You could donate to the teachers at your school, employees at your local grocery store, firefighters in your county, post office workers, nurses and doctors at your local hospital or clinic, and more!
