GSUSA has given permission to Girl Scouts to use the internet to market products they sell through Girl Scout approved vendors (like Little Brownie Bakers), following Safety-Wise guidelines and standards and the following requirements. Girl Scouts 13 and older can use social networking sites, such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter to market products, as long as they have a parent/guardian’s permission, are under supervision and follow Safety-Wise standards. Girl Scouts 13 and older can use YouTube for marketing, but must have parental permission and council approval of what is to be posted. 

If you are interested in utilizing the internet to market your cookie sale, please show this to your parent/guardian, discuss the opportunity with your parent/guardian, and then read the Internet Safety Pledge with your parent/guardian.
