Welcome to the Girl Scout Cookie Program, Troop Volunteers!
When you volunteer and help your troop through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, you're helping them gain confidence, skills, and everything they'll need to unbox the future! Your support makes it possible for Girl Scouts to shatter expectations, whether that’s going to camp, sleeping over at a museum, or eventually reaching their out-of-this-world goals. Without you, the Cookie Program wouldn’t be the success it is! Thank you for breaking barriers with us. Here’s to more barrier-breaking Cookie Seasons and more unboxed futures!

READGetting started is easy! Here's your cookie program checklist:
- Make sure everyone’s registered! Youth and adult troop members need a 2025–26 Girl Scout membership. Troop volunteers also need a current, approved GSEMA CORI background check that’s valid through March 31, 2026. Log in to mygs.girlscouts.org to purchase memberships.
- Complete the Troop Cookie Coordinator Agreement. This form helps us make sure your troop is ready to rock the cookie program!
- Set up your troop bank info. Submit the Troop Bank Information form so your troop is ready to handle cookie sales. Need a troop bank account? Find details at gsema.org/troop#bankacct.

Host a Troop Family Meeting
This is one of the most important steps of the cookie program! Gather your Girl Scouts and families to create a troop activity plan for the year, set a budget, and map out goals to fund your plans. It’s fun, collaborative, and sets your troop up for a successful season.
