Set up a Troop Bank Account.
This is how your troop will receive their proceeds from participation to power their next adventure, pay for meeting supplies and more. Note: A troop bank account is not required in order to begin participation in the Cookie Program, however the troop should make it a priority to get one set up quickly to be able to manage funds and leverage proceeds for the troop.

neighborhood restaurant or grocery store? That’s called a cookie booth
sale! Girls and their families can work with their Troop Cookie

customers.
My Sale Booths begin 1/10/2025. These
are booth sales organized and set up by families and troops. Make sure
to follow the My Sale Booth process under the "My Sale Process

page.
