Calling all Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors! - We're Starting a Team of Cookie Captains

What is a Cookie Captain?
Cookie Captains will play an important role in mentoring younger Girl Scouts about the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Cookie Captains are leaders, role models and guides for new cookie sellers. Cookie Captains will:
  • Attend a troop meeting where you educate the girls and parents on cookie knowledge, safety, marketing and goal setting. Don't forget to share what’s worked for you in the past.
  • Attend a Cookie Rally. Host a station designed for Cookie Rookies.
  • Get some behind the scenes experience by helping at a Council or service unit initial cookie drop.
  • Visit Girl Scout Daisy or Brownie booths. Give them tips on how to approach customers and what to do if someone says no.
  • Girls aren’t the only Cookie Rookies – some new leaders may need guidance. Act as a resource for the service unit cookie coordinators to train new leaders.
In addition to this leadership opportunity girls who spend at least 20 hours as a Cookie Captain will also earn the Girl Scout Senior or Ambassador Community Service to Girl Scouting bar.

If you have questions, contact Chris Ramos-Smith at chrisr@gsccc.org. Interested Girl Scouts and their parents/guardians will receive additional program information by the end of October.
