What are Council Credits?
Reward dollars will be totaled and put onto one virtual card, called Council Credits, for each entrepreneur for the Fall Product Program or Girl Scout Cookie Program. Council Credits are emailed directly to the email address that we have on file for each entrepreneur’s parent/guardian.
How can Council Credits be used?
GSNorCal Retail | Girl Scouts can utilize their Council Credit, like a gift card, to shop at a council retail shop in-person. Just provide the card number to the retail shop staff at checkout.
GSNorCal Programs | Girl Scouts can apply Council Credits to programs/events on the Activity Calendar. Please contact us at registration@gsnorcal.org to apply your credits to a new or existing registration.
GSUSA and GSNorCal Girl Scout Activities | Council credits can be used to fund the following GSUSA and GSNorCal activities:
- Reimbursement for Highest Award projects (Bronze, Silver, Gold), travel, programming
- Disburse to your troop for activities, travel, highest awards (Bronze, Silver, Gold), etc
- Travel for Council Organized Trips and GSUSA Destinations
