Before

Check with your district or GirlGuiding NZ whether a campaign is running this year and its dates.
Share GirlGuiding NZ's campaign posts and the in-store dates with your families and community pages.
Explain to supporters that the $1 a pack funds Guiding nationally, not your unit directly.
For money your unit keeps, run a separate local activity, e.g. a baking pre-order or bake stall, and say clearly it is a unit fundraiser and not Guide biscuits.
Ask your district whether national fees or programme costs for your unit are affected by campaign results.

After

Thank supporters who post their biscuit purchases; it builds goodwill for your own local fundraisers.
Bank the money and record it in the books.
Tell supporters what you raised and what it will pay for.

Watch out for

Promising families that biscuit purchases fund the local unit is inaccurate; the $1 goes to the national body.
Old guidance (pre-2019 manuals) on cartons per girl and unit biscuit orders no longer applies.

GirlGuiding NZ only. Biscuits are sold by Woolworths with $1 a pack to GirlGuiding NZ nationally; units do not sell or keep a share.
