2020 Cookie Program ends
It’s the end of another amazing Girl Scout Cookie Program in Colorado. Thank you for guiding girls to success! Please take a moment to reflect on everything your Girl Scouts have accomplished. Whether she’s a quiet girl summoning the courage to ask a new customer to support her, or she’s a seasoned entrepreneur pushing herself to go beyond her goals, she practiced real-life business skills that will lead her to accomplish much in life. She couldn’t do it without you and the supportive adults in her life – pat yourselves on the back as well.
Hometown Hero cookies
If you need additional Hometown Hero cookies, first check with other troops in your area to see if they have inventory to transfer. The last day to pick up Hometown Hero cookies from cupboards is March 12. Remember, all transactions (troop-to-troop transfers or cupboard orders) will need to be placed by Tuesday, as troops need to close-out in eBudde by March 10. The deadline to deliver Hometown Hero cookies is June 28.
Don’t forget to share photos of your Hometown Hero deliveries with us! We love seeing your girls in action, sharing their hard work, and putting smiles on their Hometown Heroes’ faces. If you would like to invite the media to witness you deliver cookies to your Hometown Hero, please contact Public Relations Director AnneMarie Harper at annemarie.harper@gscolorado.org.
eBudde Closeout
Troops will be *locked out of eBudde at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, March 10. Before the deadline, allocate all cookies to the girls in your troop, enter and verify all transactions, and submit the final reward order.* You will still be able to see everything in eBudde after the lock-out, like the sales report and girl reward selections, though it’s a good idea to print the sales report and reward choices for your records. You can also continue to add cookie payments in eBudde, but you can’t change cookie allocations.
Need a refresher about how to proceed with your eBudde closeout? Check out our video for a how to demonstration of the steps.
If you have any questions about cookie closeouts, please reach out to the service unit cookie manager in your area. Don’t know who that is? Email inquiry@gscolorado.org.
Money Problem Reports
Money problem reports are due by March 13 at 5 p.m. The ACH debit of funds to council will occur on March 18.
