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!

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.
