Program Credits | Girl Scouts

Fund adventures with Program Credits.

Girl Scouts aren't just learning valuable skills, such as financial literacy and goal setting, when they participate in the Cookie Program and Fall Product Program. They are earning Program Credits that they can use to explore new activities!

What are Program Credits?

Program Credits are an incentive program designed to facilitate access to the Girl Scout Leadership Experience through our council. This is an internal, closed loop incentive program that is subject to internal policies.

Program Credit Policies toggle arrow

Program Credits are an individual recognition meant to be used by the Girl Scout earning the credits.
Program Credits are electronically loaded into the Girl Scout’s family account in Campwise. Each Girl Scout family has access to their individual account.
Program Credits earned during the Fall Product Program are loaded into family accounts by January 15 each year.
Program Credits earned during the Cookie Program are loaded into family accounts by April 15 each year.
Program Credits will remain on account from one membership year to the next as long as the Girl Scout has renewed each year.

*Program Credits expire September 30 (Grace period to re-register and have Program Credits reinstated ends on December 15 of the same year).

Program Credits are issued independently by each council and cannot be transferred to other councils. Program Credits, or similarly named incentives earned at other councils, cannot be accepted for redemption by Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland.

Program Credits have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash.
Program Credits may not be used for the purchase of Fall Product or Girl Scout cookies.
Further, any other use not expressly noted below in the "Program Credits Uses" section is subject to council approval.

How to Earn Program Credits toggle arrow

During the annual Fall Product Program, Girl Scouts choose to earn Program Credits instead of other recognition items. Girl Scouts and their caregivers are required to select their choices in the online system by a specific date each sale. All decisions are final. If choices are not selected, then the council default is put into effect. See the annual direct order card for date and default details.

During the annual Cookie Program, Girl Scouts earn Program Credits in addition to the regular program recognitions lineup. At the Elite Entrepreneur level, Girl Scouts are required to select their choice in the online system by a specific date each sale. All decisions are final. If a choice is not selected, then the council default of Program Credits is put into effect.

During the annual Cookie Program, Girl Scouts earn Program Credits at the rate of $10 for every 30 packages of cookies sold. Once a Girl Scout has reached the level of 300 packages, the earning rate becomes $13.50 for every 30 packages sold beginning with package one until package 1,200. Girl Scouts do not earn Program Credits after package 1,200. See table below for details:
