Program Materials

Girls will Go Bright Ahead when participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program! A great way for girls to learn about entrepreneurship while running, marketing and making decisions for their own small business. By participating in this program, girls learn the five essential skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.

Interested in your troop or Individually Registered Girl (IRG) participating? 
  1. Have an adult volunteer complete the Troop Cookie Manager (TCM) training in gsLearn starting Tuesday, Nov. 1! Access gsLearn by logging on to your MyGS account and selecting gsLearn from the side panel. Search the "Content Library" for "590 Troop Cookie Manager training."

  2. Talk with your troop’s money managers to ensure your troop bank account is still active and your troop submitted completed finance reports for June and December 2022.

    OR

    If you are an IRG or new troop, you can complete an alternative Agreement to Deposit to the council. (This will act in place of a troop bank account. The online form is available by request from the Product Program Department; please email customercare@girlscouts-swtx.org.)

  3. Share the girl permission slip below with your troop!
