For Cookie Sellers | Girl Scouts of Ohio's Heartland

Get Ready to Explore with the Girl Scout Cookie Program!

Want to know about all the benefits of selling Girl Scout Cookies? Looking for a one-stop shop with the latest safety guidelines, information on earning the Cookie Entrepreneur Family pin, and tips for parents and volunteers working with Girl Scout Cookie Professionals?

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is an iconic Girl Scout tradition dating back more than 100 years — all the way to 1917—just five years after Juliette Gordon Low formed the first Girl Scout troop. Today, more than 700,000 Girl Scouts across the United States participate in the cookie program — having fun, developing valuable life skills, and making their communities a better place every step of the way.

100% of funds generated from this program go toward helping Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland build important skills by providing activities and opportunities through our programs.

Social Media Guidelines toggle arrow

Girls may use the internet to share their cookie program sales links, stories, and learnings with the following guidelines:

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is a girl-led program and online marketing and sales efforts should always be led by a girl while also being supervised by her caregivers.
Girls engaging in online sales and marketing must review and apply the Digital Marketing Tips for Cookie Entrepreneurs and Their Families.
Girls, volunteers, and caregivers must review and adhere to the Girl Scout Internet Safety Pledge, the Digital Cookie Pledge, the Supplemental Safety Tips for Online Marketing, and Girl Scouts’ Safety Activity Checkpoints for Computer and Internet Use and Cookie and Product Sales (with the exception that they may share beyond friends and family).
Sales links should never be posted to online resale sites (eBay, Facebook Marketplace, etc.).
Be aware posts on Facebook containing the use of a dollar sign ($) may automatically move the post to Facebook Marketplace. To prevent this from occurring, you must disable the automated function.
Social media ads should not be purchased or donated to promote sales links.
Girls should consider removing their last name when using social media sites to protect their identity.
