Cookie Program Badges & Pins
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is so much more than a box of cookies. It’s a programmatic approach to teaching the five skills and the foundation of the Girl Scouts Entrepreneurial Pillar. When girls sell Girl Scout Cookies, they practice goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics as they learn to think like an entrepreneur. Girl Scouts can earn badges and pins each year they run their own Girl Scout cookie business.
Cookie Program Badges & Pins
These newly earned cookie and entrepreneur badges are available in the Volunteer Toolkit (VTK).
Cookie Entrepreneur Family Pins
Cookie Entrepreneur Family Pins
Cookie Season is more fun with family! The Cookie Entrepreneur Family pin collection helps girls learn essential skills and how to think like entrepreneurs with support from their families. Each Girl Scout level has its own set of fun and educational requirements to help families guide their Girl Scout as she runs her own cookie business year after year. Girls can earn all 13 pins in the collection – one unique pin for every year they participate!

Own Your Magic Path
Take the Cookie Program Challenge! There are lots of ways to have a successful cookie business. The Cookie Program Challenge encourages Girl Scouts to go the extra mile and own their magic this cookie season. There are five milestones a Girl Scout can complete to receive their extra incentives.

Booth VIP Sticker
Girl Scouts across Hawai`i work so hard at their booths and deserve the recognition for developing their customer service and people skills. This year, we’re introducing the new VIP Booth Stickers. What are they? Anytime a Council staff member or special Council partner comes across a cookie booth, they will have special stickers to hand out to each of the Girl Scouts at that booth. If they ran out because they came across lots of booths that day, reach out to the Council Cookie team and they can get you the stickers you need!
Cookie Boss Program
Girl Scouts will build their cookie businesses through the Cookie Boss Patch Program. This program is an awesome way for cookie bosses to learn how to communicate, organize and potentially execute a thought-out business partnership. Girl Scouts not only have the opportunity to learn about business development, but they can also translate their plan into a large-scale cookie donation. Girl Scouts who complete the program and submit their completed packets will earn a Cookie Boss patch!
Gift of Caring Weekend | March 22-24, 2024
Council will match the physical quantity of packages that Troops sell in Gift of Caring packages during this weekend to donate to their chosen organization or group at the end of the cookie season. The quantity Council matches will not be added into eBudde. Troops can pick up their Gift of Caring packages at the end of the season!
Cookie Rewards
Cookie Rewards are a time of celebration and honoring the success of each Girl Scout in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. At select levels, Girl Scouts can choose to receive either the reward item or Cookie Dough Program Credits to cover the costs of Council-led camps, events, shop items, your Girl Scout membership fee, and more! All Girl Scouts who participate in the cookie program are eligible to receive these rewards.

Cookie Booths
Cookie Booths
Cookie Booths are a time-honored tradition for many Girl Scout troops. They are a great opportunity for Girl Scouts to meet new customers and build people and money management skills. As our world continues to evolve, Cookie Booths have, too. We’re excited to see the innovation our Cookie Entrepreneurs can demonstrate this Cookie Season and we know together as a community we’ve got this!
There are many different ways Girl Scouts and their Troops can participate in Cookie Booths. From virtual to in-person to drive-thru options, the world of cookie booths is almost limitless. Troops must ensure to follow GSH booth etiquette and print proper paperwork from eBudde in advance.
Utilize the GSH Booth Guide for more information on booth types and general guidance on hosting booths. Troop Leaders and Troop Cookie Managers must also refer to specific guidance in the Volunteer Cookie Manager manual on securing Council booths, requesting Troop-secured booths, and more.
