All this food talk and nobody talked about GS cookies?

You can buy them online now!

Here girls. Take all of my money!

[WOT?*]

I'll send you a link once they're set up.    j/k (kind of - lol.)  I think it's not until at least January. The cookie rallies are in January and pre-sales start then, with delivery in February. You're safe until after Christmas. I'll take all your money then.

No please do! I will gladly buy a few....dozen.....

Will each specific troop still get credit for whatever is purchased or do all the online sales go to the HQ?

The money will be troop specific, because the cookie sales are troop fundraisers as much as, or more so, than GSUSA fundraisers.  From what I understand (since we haven't had our training or cookie rallies yet) each troop will have a link to share with friends and family. Just as you hand your cash to the troops at the door when they come knocking to sell, or at the booth of the store, they will get individual credit for cookie sale. The sales should actually, if I am not mistaken, be specific per Girl as well as per troop, because they do count individual sales toward goals as well.

They are troop specific and I will gladly have CEP buy from my kid

[pinkdutchtulips]

they can buy from mine too !

Hey, I was here first! We should put a Girl Scout Cookies post with all the links. Mine is first, of course, since I came up with all these brilliant ideas.

Great. Girl Scout cookies are going to be the next MLM on facebook.

Oh they will still be doing this and selling at local stores. I am just happy I no longer have to ship my parent's their boxes. My troop is more excited about us getting a card reader for the smart phone. I am not a hundred percent sold of this idea, because honestly we made enough money last year to support our troop and do fun activities with cash only sales.

That is my entire argument BTW.

Can I work a deal like an Amazon subscription to get a steady stream of Tagalongs all year?
