Mystery House Hosts Needed!
Our Mystery House promotion encourages girls to keep going door-to-door after the booth sale period begins. The goal is to have at least one Mystery House in every Service Unit. The first Girl Scout selling cookies to stop by this secret location will earn a special patch!
Would you like to host a Mystery House for your Service Unit? Do you know someone who might be interested in doing this? Click (link) to sign up. For more information, see the Mystery House Host Flyer (link).
2021 Cookie Program Update
As of Jan 6, 2021, booth sales are not permitted. Girls can begin taking preorders for cookies beginning January 11, 2021 by following the current COVID-19 safety guidelines published on gscookiesetc.org/cookies. GSOC is monitoring recommendations by the California Department of Public Health and will post updates on gscookiesetc.org/cookies as conditions change.
Service Unit volunteers are moving forward with securing booth sale sites and hosting lotteries to be prepared in the event conditions improve enough to permit parent/daughter booth sales. Securing a booth sale shift in a Service Unit Booth Sale lottery is not a guarantee that booth sales will be permitted.
Girl Launch Emails to ABC Smart Cookies
Girl Launch Emails to the ABC Smart Cookies, the cookie software, will be sent out today to all girls registered in MyGS. Look out for an email from NoReply@abcsmartcookies.com to get started!
Volunteer Role Selection in MyGS
Please make sure the adults associated with your troop have the correct roles selected in MyGS. Any adult who plans to volunteer with your troop but are still listed as “Adult Member” will need to change their role to Troop Helper, Troop Cookie Coordinator, or other designated role. Please advise parents to make updates to their MyGS profile by logging in and selecting the Volunteer Role button at the top of the screen.
Email CustomerCare@GirlScoutsOC.org with any additional questions.
Cookie Rookie Talks (Presented by Service Units)
Are you thinking of participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program for the first time? Talk to your Service Unit about Cookie Rookie talks! These are brief, informal Q&A sessions for volunteers (especially new Leaders and potential new Troop Cookie Coordinators) to learn about the Cookie Program, how girls benefit from participating, what key volunteer roles help your experience to be a success, and of course…. how to get started!
Contact your Service Unit for the date, time, and location for your local Cookie Rookie Talk! Service Units- click for Cookie Rookie Talk Tips.
