The Girl Scout Cookie Program is vital to GSWPA’s mission of building girls of courage, confidence and
character who make the world a better place. Funds raised through the Cookie Program help pay for a
girl’s participation in Girl Scouting. When girls sell Girl Scout cookies they develop the following 5 skills:
Goal Setting – setting an attainable goal
Decision Making – deciding how to use the proceeds
People Skills – interacting with the public during booth sales or when approaching customers
Business Ethics – taking orders and delivering them on time
Money Management – making change and keeping a record of customer payments
Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors may participate in more than one group-based pathway
(Troop, Travel Club, Specialty Group or Council-Sponsored Trip). To facilitate girls’ ability to sell Girl
Scout cookies in support of multiple group pathways, the following procedure must be followed.
1. Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors who are participating in multiple group-based
pathways may participate in the Cookie Sale Program and have proceeds split among those
approved GSWPA groups (Troop, Travel Club, Specialty Group, or Council-Sponsored Trip).
2. The total packages of cookies sold by the Girl Scout will be split evenly among the various
GSWPA groups she is a member. The proceeds from those packages will remain within each
group.
3. The Multiple Pathway Cookie Sale Designation Form must be completed and signed by the Girl
Scout and her parent/guardian and mailed to GSWPA, 612 Locust Street, Johnstown, PA 15901,
Attn: Pathway Cookie Sales or emailed to [email protected] by the
established initial cookie order due date.
4. The Multiple Pathway Cookie Sale Designation Form will list the various groups that the girl is
participating in. The designated GSWPA staff person will credit each of the designated groups
with an equal share of the Girl’s cookie sales.
5. The designated GSWPA staff person will acknowledge receipt of the Designation form by email
to the Girl Scout, her parent/guardian and the leaders/advisors of the GSWPA groups who will
benefit from her cookie sales.
6. The designated GSWPA staff person will enter the
