You did it! Your Girl Scouts followed their ambitions, strived towards their goals and earned rewards and proceeds to power your troop experiences. Don’t check out yet – There’s still a few things that will need to be wrapped up at the end of the program.
End of Program - eBudde
You must make all changes in eBudde by 11:59PM on March 17th, 2026.
Some things to wrap up:
- Distribute troop cookie inventory in ebudde to girls that participated.
- Distribute any shipped Digital Cookie payments from the troop link site to girls who participated.
- Add all girl payments in eBudde.
- Make rewards selections.
- Submit all final entries in eBudde.
Add/Manage Girl Payments:
Go to the “Girl Orders” tab and click on the girl’s name.
Click on “Add Payment”.
At the bottom of the screen there should be a green box that appears in the Paid column. Double click in the box and enter the amount paid.
Click “OK”, then “Save” to complete the transaction.

If any girls have outstanding balances, ensure that you collect and deposit those funds prior to the March 27th ACH withdrawal.
If you have made at least 3 documented collection attempts and are unable to obtain funds from caregivers, complete the Caregiver Debt Form by March 23rd, 2026.
If because of caregiver debt or other circumstances you will not have enough funds in your account to cover the March 27th, 2026 ACH withdrawal, you must complete an ACH Extension Request Form by March 23rd, 2026.
Finalize & Submit Rewards:
eBudde will automatically calculate most rewards earned by girls – but ONLY if the cookies are transferred from the troop inventory to each girl who sold them. To ensure that each girl receives the correct rewards, make sure all cookies have been transferred.
Go to the “Rewards” tab.
Click on “Fill Out” next to Final Rewards Order.
Select each girls name and enter her choices and/or sizes.
Click “Submit Girl Order”. Once you have completed each girl’s order, click “Submit Reward Order” and “Confirm”. Only submit when you are sure you are ready. You cannot make edits after you submit.
Tips:
Ask girls to choose which rewards they would like on the back of their order card. Ensure all girls have made their selections prior to collecting the order cards.

End of Program FAQs
What do I do with leftover cookies?
Troops can choose a charitable cause to donate cookies to if they wish but will still be held financially responsible for the balance due to council.
Girls can continue to sell to friends and family after March 8th, 2026. “Clean-up” cookie booths may continue to be held after March 8th, but must follow all rules, regulations and booth etiquette set during the regular cookie season and cookie prices must ALWAYS remain the same – discounting cookies is unacceptable.
Additionally, any booths that take place after March 8, 2026 must be submitted and approved by the SU Booth Champion prior to them happening. These “clean-up” booths do not get entered into eBudde, but the SU Booth Champion must be aware of them.
All cookie booths must end after March 30, 2026. After March 30, 2026, remaining cookie inventory may only be sold to friends and family of the troop/girls.
How will the troop receive it’s proceeds?
GSCB will email the Troop Cookie Champion the balance due to council on March 20th, 2026. That amount will be withdrawn from the troop bank account on March 27th, 2026. The troop proceeds will remain in the troop bank account for use by the troop or be credited to the troop during the ACH if there is a balance due from council.
All details including amount owed to council can be found on the Troop’s Sales Report tab in eBudde.
When will girls receive their rewards?
Initial Order rewards generally arrive after Cookie Delivery unless there are delays on the Bakery’s side.
Final rewards will arrive in mid to late summer. They will be mailed to the Service Unit Cookie Champion for distribution. In some cases outside of our control, rewards can be backordered or delayed.
