What's New 
Share the Love with the Military Patch Opportunity!
NEW! Girl Scouts can earn a patch when they help show “axolotl love” to the military!
To get this patch, Girl Scouts must collect 14 packages of Girl Scout Cookies donated through Digital Cookie on Feb. 14. These donations will be shared with U.S. service members and veterans through our collaboration with H.E.R.O.E.S. Care.
Watch for our post on Feb. 14 that caregivers can share to help let friends and family know that their Girl Scout is sharing her appreciation for U.S. military members through a gift of Girl Scout Cookies! You can also download a post to share!
Please note: Only Gift of Caring donations collected ON Feb. 14 and through Digital Cookie will apply towards earning this patch.

Pricing and Proceeds

Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors will still have the option to opt out of rewards to earn an additional $0.10 for each package sold.
- Juliette Girl Scouts will now earn $1.00 per package sold.
Programming
- Our donation program will also be known as Gift of Caring, previously Hometown Heroes. All donation packages sold during the program will be donated to H.E.R.O.E.S. Care.
- Girl Scouts should not sell inside or in front of establishments that have age restrictions to enter the building.
- Girl Scouts are allowed to set up in front of locations that serve pour liquor but are family friendly during daylight hours. All cookie booths must be over by 6pm for these types of establishments.

Initial Order Rewards
If your troop earned the initial order reward(s), these will now be given out at the time of the service unit initial order cookie pickup!
Samoa Adventure
This season’s Samoa Adventure, 600-package level, will be hosted at the STL Zoo on May 11. This will be a family event. Girls who earn this reward will be able to take up 3 family members on this day.
Higher Reward Levels
Final reward level 1000 to 3000: Council will work with and ship these rewards directly to the Girl Scout. Girl Scout home addresses must be up to date on their Girl Scout membership account.
GS Bucks
If GS bucks are selected as a reward, the caregiver of the girl will receive an email from Council within a week of final reward submissions with the amount available to spend. This can be used right away. Please remind your Girl Scouts and caregivers that GS bucks funds are good from April 1 to March 1.
Girls can choose to use their GS bucks’ funds on program events, membership, day and resident camps, and GSofSI shop items.
To redeem GS bucks, the Girl Scout and her caregiver will need to fill out the GS Bucks Request form. This form will ask for the amount requesting to be used and what the girl would like to use it on. If you are using it for a program event, resident camp, or day camp, the caregiver will need to know the name, date, and cost of the event. Customer Care will then process your request and be in contact with the caregiver.
Cookie Crossover Patch
Patches will be mailed directly to the Girl Scout from M2. Please contact M2 customer care if you have any questions on your patch’s status. 800-372-8520
