Rookie Cookie Training

Who Must Attend

New troop cookie managers are required to attend training. New troop cookie managers are defined as anyone who has never been a troop cookie manager or has not been a troop cookie manager for the last two years. You’ll find this all-new training practical, worthwhile, and motivating.

How to Register

Registration is required. To register for training via mail or fax, use the form below. Online registrations can be completed by accessing www.gssjc.org. Click on Trainings, and then click Offerings (courses are listed alphabetically). Click on Rookie Cookie Training, locate the desired date and time. Click Register when you have made your choice. Click Submit. You will receive an e-mail confirmation.

No walk-ins please!

Non-registered participants place a burden on other participants, the trainers and the training location. Trainers may be unable to provide materials for non-registered participants.

• Troop number and service unit name in which you are registered
• Driver’s license and social security numbers

Fun Cookie Materials

Everyone attending will have the option of purchasing cookie specialty items at the training: a cookie platter for $10, a tote bag for $7, and an “Ask Me About Girl Scout Cookies” sign for $2.

Update Cookie Training

You’ll be excited to know that if you were a troop cookie manager in the past two years, you will not be required to attend training in person.
