How to Be a Cookie Mom for Girl Scouts
The cookie mom organizes all the cookie sales for a Girl Scout troupe. She also helps to store the cookies, makes sure the cookies get to the right girls and manages the cookie money. Becoming a cookie mom for a troupe is a big responsibility and many new cookie moms do not realize all the work that this position entails. The time that a cookie mom donates to the Girl Scouts while organizing the selling of cookies can vary depending on the size of the troupe and the amount of cookies that it sells.
