Troop Cookie Champions (TCCs) are an invaluable part of the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Volunteers like you are the champions, role models and cookie coaches who help girls discover their amazing potential and take steps towards achieving their goals.
In order to become the Troop Cookie Champion for your troop, follow these steps:
- Complete the Product Program Champion Agreement

- Within 1-2 business days of completing your gsLearn training, you’ll be granted access to eBudde.
- Volunteers who have completed their gsLearn training will get early access to eBudde and Digital Cookie starting December 18th.
- Connect with your Service Unit Cookie Champion for information on picking up your troop’s materials (order cards, receipt booklets, etc.).
