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:
