What is a cookie cupboard?
Cookie cupboards are locations where troops can pick up additional
cookies to fill orders that come in AFTER the Initial Order Taking
Period. Troops can also pick up inventory for a cookie booth sale at a
cookie cupboard.
Most of our cookie cupboards are managed by volunteers. Cookie
cupboards are hosted in available spaces, such as living rooms,
garages, storage units, and donated spaces at businesses. There are
also cookie cupboards in the Hartford and North Haven service centers.
There are two types of cookie cupboards: council and service unit.
Council cookie cupboards are open to any troop in any service unit.

Service unit cookie cupboards are open to troops in a specific service
unit. Check with your service unit cookie manager/service unit manager
to see if your service unit will be hosting a cookie cupboard this year.
When are cookie cupboards open?
Some cupboards will open for business the week before cookie
delivery weekend (week of March 21). The remaining cupboards will open
the week of March 28. Cupboards will closing the last week in April.
NOTE: Cupboard hours vary, particularly toward the end of the season.
Please confirm operating hours with the cupboard manager of the
specific cupboard you wish to use.
The cupboard manager determines cookie cupboard hours and days of
operation. Some cupboards have specific days and times they are open
while other cupboards have a more flexible schedule. Troop volunteers
can see a cupboard's schedule as well as the cupboard manager's
contact information in the Cookie Transaction dialog box in eBudde.
Review the How to submit a cookie order video for
instructions on how to submit a cookie order to the desired cupboard.
How are cookies ordered/reserved through a cookie cupboard?
Cookie orders are submitted to the cupboard directly in eBudde on
the Transaction tab. Please review the How to submit a cookie order video for
complete instructions on how to submit a cookie order in eBudde. Troop
volunteers must reserve cookies AT LEAST six days before the desired
pickup date. Troop volunteers should plan to pick up NO SOONER than
five business days before the booth sale. For example: A troop’s booth
sale is on April 2. The troop should plan on picking up the cookies
the week of March 28. But, it can submit the order anytime prior to
six days before the desired pickup date.
If a troop needs to pick up cookies sooner than six days out, the
troop volunteer should contact the cupboard manager directly to see
they can fill the request. Troop volunteers will NOT be able to submit
an order to a cookie cupboard in eBudde for pickup sooner than six
days based on the date the order is submitted.
Can cookies picked up at the cupboard but not sold be returned?
Yes, with the following qualifications:
· The troop can only return UNOPENED cases (no partial cases
or individual boxes). The cases must be in sellable condition, i.e.
not damaged.
· Troops can return up to 60% of the number of cases picked up
from the cupboard AND all returns must be made within five business
days of the pickup date. For example: If a troop picks up 10 cases for
a booth sale, up to 6 unopened/undamaged cases can be returned to the
cupboard the week following pickup.
· Only cookies originally picked up from the cupboard are
eligible to be returned. Cookies that were part of a troop's Initial
Order and picked up on cookie delivery day CANNOT be returned.
· Individual packages that are picked up from a cookie
cupboard become the immediate financial responsibility of the troop
and may not be returned to the cupboard.
Can only full cases be picked up at the cupboard? What if a troop
only needs a couple of packages of a particular flavor?
Troops CAN pick up individual packages from cookie cupboards; troops
do not need to pick up full cases if only a few packages are needed.
However, once individual packages are signed for, they are not
eligible to be returned, and the troop is financially responsible for
the packages.
How do I return cookies to a cupboard?
If the troop has cookies that are eligible to return, a troop
volunteer will need to contact the cupboard manager to make
arrangements to return cookies. REMEMBER: Individual
packages/partial/opened cases are not eligible to be returned. All
returns must be made within five business days of the pickup date.
Will all cookies varieties be available to pick up at cookie cupboards?
Except for Girl Scout S’mores®, we anticipate all varieties,
including Adventurefuls™, will be available in our cookie cupboards for
additional orders and booth sales.
Girl Scout S’mores will NOT be available in cookie cupboards.
Therefore, Girl Scouts should not take any more orders for this variety
