Cookie Program Credit

Girl Scouts work hard to earn their Cookie Program Credit (CPC) and there are lots of ways to use it.

Cookie Program Credit works similar to your typical gift card, it is an individual reward, acknowledging your hard work and entrepreneurial success. Throughout the cookie sale program, girls practice five skills – goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skills, and business ethics – and they decide how to run their businesses. Now they get to decide how to use their Cookie Program Credit!

FAQs

What is the Cookie Program Credit Policy for GSEOK? toggle arrow

Cookie Program Credit is a fee reduction system that reserves a credit in each girl’s name based on her range of packages of cookies sold, as listed in the rewards program on the order card. It is based on total packages sold (determined at the end of the sale), and is available for use beginning May 1 of the year earned and until the expiration of the girl’s membership in GSEOK. Cookie Program Credit is used to discount the cost of activities, programs, and supplies that will enrich the Girl Scout experience. It may be used for up to 100% of a fee. Deposits are non-refundable. Girls must sell at least 65 packages of cookies to be eligible for Cookie Program Credit on all packages of cookies sold.

Cookie Program Credit is non-transferable and is not paid in cash. Cookie Program Credit will not be accepted after the expiration of membership on September 30 for girls who do not reregister. Cookie Program Credit will be reinstated for girls who reregister during the grace period, ending August 31 of the following year. After that time the credit will be permanently forfeited. Unused credit remains in the General Operating Fund to support all council programs.

Cookie Program Credit can be used for Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma Summer Camp, council-planned trips and activities, the girl’s portion of the cost of a travel opportunity sponsored by Girl Scouts of the USA or another Girl Scout council, a Service Unit Special event for which girls register individually, qualifying council approved troop trips, and purchases in the Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma Store. You cannot use your CPC to purchase gift cards.

ALL COOKIE SALE MONEY MUST BE TURNED IN ON TIME AND IN FULL TO RECEIVE COOKIE PROGRAM CREDIT.
