Cookie Program
2012 Cookie Program--January 19, 2012 through March 4, 2012
GSEP Partners with ABC Bakers for the Cookie Program
These yummy varieties are available during the Girl Scout Cookie Program.
Mobile Payments
This year a small group of older girl troops will be piloting an initiative to accept credit card payments for Girl Scout Cookies with a mobile device. This pilot group has been limited to meet and measure our mission objectives with respect to mobile payments. If this pilot is a success, we will offer mobile payments on a larger scale for next year’s Cookie Program. GSEP is strongly opposed to troops setting up credit card reading devices on their own, not related to the pilot. Our reluctance to condone other mobile payments system is due to the fact that not all credit card reading devices and systems are equal, GSUSA has reviewed many systems and selected one which provides a high level of customer data security and ease of operation. Other program have the potential for exposure of customer data which is not acceptable.
