Troops who are Junior, Cadette, Senior and Ambassador are eligible to Opt-Out of girl recognitions in order to receive more proceeds. This is a great option if your troop has a trip or travel planned.
Troops participating in the Opt-Out option earn an additional .05 cents more per package in troop proceeds. Girl Scouts who qualify will receive patches only and an invitation to the Elite Entrepreneur Experiences.
Troop Cookie Managers should talk about this option during their Parent/Family Meeting to ensure that all Girl Scouts are in agreement and that caregivers understand exactly what opting-out means. No paperwork is needed and council will not be aware of your troop choice. Troop Cookie Manager's must set this option in Smart Cookies in your Troop Information if your troop plans to Opt-Out.
