Yukon Guides

Selling Girl Guide cookies is a major fundraiser for our organization and the profits made allow us to run programs for the girls, support units and operate the guide office. Girl Guides of Canada – National office has started a new cookie selling program for the classic cookie campaign held each April. Information on the program will be sent to all members (girls and adults) during November.

The new selling program is incentive based. Girls will be asked to pre-order cookies during December and January to friends and families for sale and delivery in April. Based on the number of cookies each girl pre-orders they will be eligible for an incentive prize. These prizes and the program will be entirely managed by the National Office.

Yukon Council has previously been very successful selling cookies in a door to door cookies blitz in early April. We will still be organizing the door to door campaign and hope that all units and all members will continue to support this initiative. Unfortunately the cookies sold during the door to door campaign will not be able to be used towards an individuals selling tally in the incentive program. Only pre-ordered cookies will be included in the tally.

We expect a number of questions will come up from parents when they receive this information on the initiaitve. Please don’t hesitate to be in touch if you have questions, comments or concerns. Also feel free to direct parents to the Guide Office to answer specific questions.
