Gluten-Free Cookie Information and Guidelines
2015 Girl Scout Cookie Sale
You asked for them, and they are coming! A new gluten-free cookie will debut during the 2015 Cookie Sale. Unlike our other varieties, Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida will have to place a firm, non-returnable order for these cookies by October 1, 2014. They also cost more than double the other varieties, so we are turning to our troop leaders for guidance on our order.
What Happens Next
The week of September 2, troop leaders should look for a survey where they will be able to commit to their troop's order for the gluten-free cookie. This order will be a firm commitment on the part of your troop and will help us gauge how many additional cases we should bring in. It is important also to note that due to the increased cost, these cookies will also have a higher sales price, at $5 per box. All other varieties will remain at $4 per box. All troops should download and review the Gluten Free Cookie Information and Guidelines and be ready to respond to the survey in a couple of weeks. Neglecting to respond may mean your troop will not have access to these cookies in January. Questions? Contact Lisa Johnson at ljohnson@gssef.org or 561-427-0175.
Help Us Update Our Cookies for the Military Campaign!
 It's time again to update our Cookies for the Military campaign materials. We'd love to be able to take photos of members of the military (in uniform) with Girl Scouts for use during the 2015 campaign. If you are a member of the military or know someone that is and are interested, please email Melinda Glasco at mglasco@gssef.org. Also if you have any photos of your girls with members of the military, please send those in as well.
