Participation Options (Ways to Sell Cookies)
Selling Girl Scout Cookies is one of the most iconic activities Girl Scouts engage in. This program is flexible and customizable to fit the needs of every Girl Scout. Troops and Girl Scouts can choose to participate in one, two, or all three levels of participation: online, hybrid, and in-person. Cookie volunteers can use the ideas below as a guide to get started. Encourage Girl Scouts to check off all the options they want to try this season or have them brainstorm a few of their own!
