Hey Troop Cookie Coordinators! Good news, Girl Scouts of Orange County is allowing troops to pick up more Girl Scout Cookies on consignment!
What does this mean? Troops can place orders of more cookies with the cupboard to sell, and return unsold cookies picked up on consignment to the cupboard. This is a great opportunity to have all the variety that you need, with no risk for the troop!
Things to note:
Some cookie varieties may be out of stock. Cupboards will do their best to fulfill consignment orders with the inventory they have available.
Please be aware that any consignment orders or returns need to all be done within the same cupboard for that troop.
Troops that received the Fall Program Consignment Bonus and already have consignment orders must continue with their current process – meaning they cannot combine or place a new consignment order at a different cupboard.
How does this work? Check out the Consignment Process, Troops will need to follow these guidelines to place a planned consignment order with a cupboard of their choice. A consignment receipt must be printed and brought to the cupboard of your choice. Click here for the receipt. Please be aware that any consignment orders or returns need to all be done within the same cupboard for that troop.
After following the instructions in the Consignment process, review the step by step instructions on how to place your Troop’s Planned Consignment Order by clicking here.
By following the simple steps outlined in the Consignment Process and staying mindful of the guidelines, troops can maximize their efforts and work toward their goals. If you haven’t already, be sure to place your consignment orders and take full advantage of this opportunity!
For any questions or more information, don’t hesitate to reach out to your Service Unit Cookie Manager or Cupboard.
It might seem now that the clues are too few, but as the season progresses, we’ll reveal more to you! Keep visiting customers door-to-door, a Mystery House you might find, earn a patch if you are the first and a certificate that is signed!

Every donation helps bring a smile to someone in our community, and it’s a great way to reach your cookie goals.

Simply post the flyer at your booth sale and keep track of donations with the donation tracker by filling in 1 segment for each dollar collected.

Selling cookies in the rain can be a bit challenging, but it’s also a great opportunity to show your determination and creativity! Here are some tips for Girl Scouts to stay positive and sell cookies even when the weather isn’t cooperating:
1. Dress for Success! Tip: Wear waterproof gear like rain jackets, ponchos, and rain boots. Don’t forget an umbrella to keep you dry and to make your booth feel cozy and welcoming! Why: Staying comfortable will help you feel more confident and keep you focused on your sales.
2. Use Social Media to Spread the Word Tip: Post on social media to let people know where you’ll be selling in the rain. You can also promote how fun it is to support Girl Scouts in any weather! “Rain or shine! It’s Cookie Time!” Why: Social media is a great way to reach people who might not want to go out in the rain but would be happy to order online or visit your booth if they know where to find you.
3. Keep Your Cookies Protected Tip: Store the cookies in waterproof bins or containers and cover them with plastic tarps or tablecloths if you’re outside. Why: You don’t want to risk your cookies getting soggy or damaged! Keeping them dry ensures they stay in perfect condition for your customers.
4. Always Bring an Adult Helper, and maybe a Girl Scout buddy Tip: If you’re out in the rain, it’s always a good idea to bring a buddy to help out! A parent or friend can hold the umbrella, set up the booth, or keep you company. Why: Having extra hands will make the experience more fun, and you can take turns selling to make sure you stay fresh and energized!
5. Be Enthusiastic and Show Your Determination Tip: Stay positive and enthusiastic—even if the weather isn’t great. Smile and tell potential customers how excited you are to offer them delicious cookies, rain or shine! Why: Your positive energy will be contagious, and customers will appreciate your hard work and dedication, especially in the rain.
6. Use Rain as a Fun Selling Point Tip: Embrace the rain and have fun with it! Create a fun slogan like “Don’t let the rain stop you from getting your favorite cookies!” or “Sweet treats to brighten up a rainy day!” Why: Turning the rain into a selling point can make people smile and want to support you even more!
7. Stay Safe Tip: Always be mindful of slippery surfaces, and make sure your booth is set up safely. If the weather gets too severe, don’t hesitate to pack up early and come back another day. Why: Safety is the top priority! Be sure to check the forecast and stay aware of any storm warnings.
With these tips, you’ll be able to keep selling cookies confidently even on rainy days. Plus, your perseverance will definitely impress customers and help you reach your cookie-selling goals!
What is Mega Delivery? Mega Delivery is THE Cookie delivery for many Troops. If your Service Unit is a part of the Mega Delivery on Saturday, January 25, 2025, participating Troops that placed an Initial Cookie Order will go to Mega Delivery to pick up their orders. Not sure if your Troop is participating in Mega? Please reach out to your Service Unit Cookie Manager or Service Unit Cookie Distributor.
What does your Troop Need to know about Mega? Let’s go through 4 key reminders to prepare your Troop for a successful Mega Delivery.
#1 ALL Troops attending Mega need to recruit up to 2-3 helpers and a designated driver. Your helpers will include counters and loaders. Counters will confirm the cookie order is accurate and loaders will help get your cookie cases safely organized into your vehicle(s). Loaders and Counters do not need to be registered members. Drivers participating in Mega Delivery must be a registered and background screened adult. Your driver must be behind the wheel as soon as you enter the lot. For everyone’s safety, your driver must stay behind the wheel at all times during the pickup. Please note that Council will not have extra counters and loaders at the Mega Delivery.
#2 What do Troops need to take to Mega? Troops should arrive promptly to their chosen pickup time. Troops will need to bring a Troop Dashboard Sign and each Troop helper vehicle will need to bring a Troop Helper Dashboard Sign. The Dashboard Signs must be displayed on the drivers front window with the SU and Troop number written in sharpie or a bold marker. Don’t forget your helpers! Of course we want to remind you to bring your counters and loaders!
#3 How many Cookies can fit in my car? All Troop Cookie Orders will vary and depending on the size of the order you may need multiple cars. Did you know Troops can bring two vehicles or a U-Haul? We have a great guide to help you determine how many Cookie Cases fit in your vehicle. CLICK HERE to review the guide.
#4 What is my Troop’s Initial Order? We encourage Troops to bring a copy of the Delivery Station Appointment Summary Report. This Report can be obtained from ABC Smart Cookies. The report will list your Troops Initial Order by the case along with your Troops Mega Delivery pickup time. Remember: Your Troop is financially responsible for their Cookie Order. Picking up your Initial Order is not optional.
