2027 Cookie Program

NEW! Digital Cookie Online Exclusive Channel

Introducing Girl Scout Sparkables and Patch Pals! Watch the reveal video below!

Girl Scout Sparkables are crunchy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies dotted with colorful sprinkles and created in partnership with Partake. They are formulated to be allergy-friendly, gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan, which may help expand participation in Girl Scout Cookie Season, subject to individual dietary needs and label review. Sparkables will be available to sample at The Greatest Cookie Carnival on Earth events.

Patch Pals were created with BARK, the company behind BarkBox, which is obsessed with making dogs happy. They are a blueberry muffin flavored, grain-based recipe and made with blueberries. They are a treat that dogs will love and Girl Scouts can feel proud to sell. These delicious dog cookies are for dogs only.

Both Girl Scout Sparkables and Patch Pals will be available only through Digital Cookie shipped ordering from a Girl Scout's or troop's Digital Cookie link. Sparkables will sell for $6/package and Patch Pals for $9/package. Limited quantities will be available. For more details, review these FAQs.

Are you excited? Please complete this short survey to let us know how may packages of these new cookies customers will buy! Deadline to complete is Sunday, October 4, 2026.

Questions? Visit our Virtual Office Hours on Tuesdays 12-1 p.m. or 7-8 p.m.

Cookie Program Guidelines toggle arrow

Social and General Media Policies

Posts Allowed
• Information regarding in-person, online and booth sales may be posted January 5-March 21, 2027.
• Posting to personal social media sites is permitted. Be cognizant of settings (private vs. public).
• Posting to local public social media sites (approved membership or public) with Girl Scout or Troop Digital Cookie Link for online direct ship orders and public pick-up of Girl Delivery orders is permitted. We remind parents and troop volunteers to be safety conscious and cautious providing a Digital Cookie Link to unknown customers. Always meet in a public location for distribution of Girl Delivery orders from unknown customers.
• Posting to local public social media sites (approved membership or public) for the promotion of cookie booths, cookie stands, or to take traditional orders is allowed. Always meet in a public location for distribution of orders from unknown customers.
• Creation of a special social media site with a Girl Scout or Troop Digital Cookie Link is allowed. It should include the sales goal of the Girl Scout or troop and how the troop plans to use troop proceeds.

Posts Not Allowed
• Posting to national sites such as, but not limited to, eBay, Craigslist, Amazon, Facebook Marketplace, YouTube, Shopify, etc. is not permitted.
• No paid advertising of any kind on social media or general media is allowed.

GSNI reminds everyone that the Girl Scout Cookie Program is a Girl Scout-led program and Girl Scouts should be involved as much as safely possible in social media and online sales. We also recommend parents use caution when posting to any social media site. The safety of Girl Scouts and their families is first and foremost. Parents should use their best judgement when approving in-person delivery orders versus shipped-only orders, to customers they don’t know. A Girl Scout should always be accompanied by an adult when delivering cookies. Abuse or misuse of a Girl Scout’s Digital Cookie site may result in GSNI inactivating the site.

Adhere to GSNI Cookie Program Dates, Pricing, Boundaries, and Cookies

Girl Scout Cookie Program dates and pricing are specific for each Girl Scout council. It is important that GSNI troops, Girl Scouts, and families follow the program dates and pricing set for GSNI.

All GSNI troops must keep in-person participation within the boundaries of GSNI’s service area. No booth sites or door-to-door participation method may occur outside of GSNI’s boundaries. If you see a troop participating within GSNI boundaries which you suspect is not from GSNI, do not confront the troop or engage in a conflict. Make note of the date, time, location, and troop number (if possible) and report the information to your Service Unit Cookie Coordinator or GSNI’s Product Program Team. GSNI will follow up with the appropriate council.

Finally, only cookies offered by GSNI’s contracted baker, Little Brownie Bakers may be sold. No other cookies are to be sold by GSNI Girl Scouts or troops and all packages must be sold for $6 per package. This includes any cookies from the other baker with the same name (Adventurefuls, Trefoils, Thin Mints and Exploremores).

Troop Penalties

All programs have requirements, expectations, and rules for participants. The cookie program is no different. It is important that troops and Girl Scouts have equal opportunities to participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program and gain important life and entrepreneurial skills. GSNI would hope parents, Girl Scouts, troop leaders, Troop Cookie Chairs, etc. would all act appropriately, but unfortunately this does not always happen. If GSNI confirms a report that a troop or a Girl Scout within a troop has broken any rules or requirements of the program, including but not limited to, early selling, selling at higher pricing, selling outside of GSNI’s boundaries, posting to restricted social media sites, or selling rewards, GSNI may enforce penalties. Troops may incur penalties through a reduction in troop proceeds. This is not something GSNI wants to do, but because of prior incidents, it is unfortunately something that may need to be enforced.

The Troop Cookie Chair or troop leader is expected to explain the requirements of the cookie program to Girl Scouts and their parents, along with the explanation that if even one Girl Scout in the troop breaks the rules, the entire troop may be penalized.

Reports of inappropriate selling activities will be accepted and investigated by GSNI’s Product Program Team. Girl Scouts, parents, troop leaders, and Troop Cookie Chairs should not confront the troop, be argumentative, or engage in a conflict. Reports should include specific information such as date, time, location, troop number and/or name when possible.

Troop Size Requirement
To ensure GSNI abides by IRS guidelines revolving around product sales, these troop size guidelines as they pertain to Product Program troop proceeds (fall product and cookies), have been created. It is important we comply with IRS guidelines so as not to endanger the not-for-profit status of GSNI, GSUSA and Girl Scout councils nationwide. This policy has been in effect since September 2016.

Troop Level and Minimum Size
Daisy, Brownie, Junior must have 5 Girl Scouts (from multiple families) + 2 unrelated leaders (1 must be female)
Cadette, Senior, Ambassador must have 3 Girl Scouts (from multiple families) + 2 unrelated leaders (1 must be female)
For the 2027 Cookie Program, the minimum must be met by Monday, January 25.

What happens if your troop size does not meet the minimum?
• This does not mean your troop is no longer a troop!
• Your troop will be treated as a group of Juliettes (individual Girl Scouts) for the purpose of troop proceeds.
• Girl Scout and troop rewards will still be earned.
• During troop bank sweep, the entire cost of product sold will be swept from the troop account. No troop proceeds will be awarded.
• S’more Dough will be given to participating Girl Scouts instead of troop proceeds.
• Notes on S’more Dough:
o S’more Dough distribution, uses, and restrictions are similar to Cookie Dough.
o The amount of S’more Dough a participant earns is based on ranges of product sold.

Requirements for Additional Money Earning Activities

While Girl Scouts/troops are encouraged to participate in GSNI’s product programs as their primary money-earning activities, Girl Scouts/troops are also able to earn money through activities outside of Product Programs. However, to apply for any additional money-earning activities, the troop must participate at the minimum levels listed below in both the Fall Product and Girl Scout Cookie Programs. Please note that additional money-earning activities are not permitted during September 15-October 31 and January 1-March 31, to preserve the integrity of the Fall Product and Girl Scout Cookie Programs.

Fall Product Program
Minimum 25% of registered Girl Scouts participate and minimum $250 total troop sales

Girl Scout Cookie Program
Minimum 50% of registered GirlS couts participate and minimum 240 packages total troop sales

Individually Registered Girl Scouts (Juliette) Requirements
• Be in good financial standing with GSNI.
• Have parent/guardian permission.
• Participate in both the Fall Product and Girl Scout Cookie Programs at the minimum levels listed below.

Fall Product Program--Minimum $25 total sales
Girl Scout Cookie Program--Minimum 24 packages total sales

Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award Requirements
• A Girl Scout interested in additional money-earning activities as part of earning their Bronze or Silver Awards must follow all the troop guidelines listed above for approval. Bronze and Silver Awards are earned as a troop or small group within the troop.
• A Girl Scout earning a Gold Award, must follow and meet the guidelines of a Juliette to receive approval for an additional money-earning activity. Gold Awards are earned as an individual.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions regarding any aspects of the Cookie Program, please email the Product Program Team at cookies4you@girlscoutsni.org.
