It’s Cookie Time again! By popular demand the free printables for Girl Scout Cookie Lanyards have been updated for the 2024 season with a very exciting bonus – FREE CANVA TEMPLATES!!
Lanyards are a quick, easy and helpful sales tool for your troop.
Girl Scout Cookie Lanyards are great reference tools so girls don’t get overwhelmed trying to memorize all the details for cookie sales. I found lots of fun ideas on Pinterest, and this is what I came up with for the girls to wear when out selling door to door or at a cookie booth.
The front features nice photos of the cookies and shows which are considered traditional and which are specialty.
The back serves as a quick guide for when customers purchase multiple boxes of cookies, and it reminds them to add an extra $1 per box of specialty cookies. I have a note about how to write out checks, but I left this off the free printable version. You can write that info in for your troop if you like, or use the free Canva templates to enter your info.
Cookie lanyards are printed on cardstock, placed in a laminating pouch and laminated. Cardstock makes these a little thick so you want to be sure to seal the edges all around; be sure to leave about a 1/8″-1/4″ border when you trim. The corners were sharp so I ordered a new corner rounder. I debated between the 5mm and the 10mm, and I’m happy with the results of the 10mm.
Hole punch the top center, then slipped the key rings on. I was going to put these on lanyards, but thought ribbon would be less expensive. (I accidentally bought wired ribbon at first, then bought two rolls of the ribbon I actually used so really, I probably could’ve just bought 7 lanyards!)
Grosgrain ribbon is nice because it’s more durable than a satin ribbon. Cut roughly 30″ of the 5/8″ wide ribbon for each necklace, put it through the key ring and tie a knot at the end. My ribbon roll has 18 feet of ribbon, which is just enough to make 7 necklaces with a little bit leftover.

We made a simular linyard for our Service Unit cookie rally last week. We used it for a name tag and printed them on five different colors to divide girls into groups for rotations. Instead of prices, we put deadline schedule on the back side. Instead of ribbon, we cut five different colored tshirts for the linyards.
It turned out pretty good and girls have a quick reference.
Laura
Oooh, that’s a good idea too!
Sally
I like this a lot! However, in CA our cookies are $5 and $6 a box from Little Brownie Bakers. Could you make a PDF with those prices, or at least make this PDF editable? Thanks!
Laura
Glad you like it! Check the post again, I’m uploading some more versions for you. =) Hope that helps!
Sally
Great! Thank you!
Amanda
How do you download to print thank you
Laura
Hi Amanda! The new 2021 files are available to download in the blog post. Please let me know if you have any issues with the links. Thanks!
Marty Z
Yes in Missouri our cookies are all $6 now. Could you make one for that?
Laura
Hi! If you look in the post under the section “NEW CANVA TEMPLATES!” You can click on ABC or LBB links and update the pricing in Canva! Hope that helps!
Amber G.
I want to thank you so very much for sharing this! I printed off our copies, used a sharpie to change a couple price changes (our specialties are $6), was able to add in the check payable simply by printing it off on a cute font and pasting it onto the cheat sheet. A grandma from our troop donated some very cute “girly” lanyards from Dollar Tree. They turned out cute and I know my parent volunteers, our daisies, and our brownies are going to love them. Thanks Again… this is an awesome tool for us. OH… and how awesome that you formatted it that all I had to do was fold the card stock— too easy!
Laura
Yay!!! I’m so glad these were helpful!! =) I have since uploaded a couple other files with different pricing, as well as blank pricing so more troops can use them. Good luck with your sales!!
Wendy M. Mayer
I like these a lot but our cookies are all $4. Can I edit this to make that change?
Laura
Hi Wendy! You should be able to edit if you have a PDF editing software…otherwise maybe you can use the blank version and write in your own pricing?? Hope that helps!
Wendy M. Mayer
I tried that but I get a warning that Abode does not find any editable text. I will find a work around but I wanted to let you know. I like the two sided one with the price per box and pictures, so I will make it work.

You are truly being a Sister to Every Girl Scout by sharing!! Thank you!
Laura
You are so welcome, and sweet to say that! I never thought about it like that. =) Glad I could be “friendly and helpful!” =)
AJ
Will you be updating this for 2019?
Laura
Hey! I would be happy to if I have time. =) We are currently moving to another state so we may be out of the loop with Girl Scouts for awhile, but if you touch base with me next month with the updated info I will certainly try.
Crystal
Thank you! Do you have any idea why it’s not printing the cookies when I print? What program did you use to format maybe?
Laura
Oh no!! Not sure why it’s not printing right for you, this is the first I’ve heard of this issue. I used Corel Draw to create it, but it’s exported to a PDF it shouldn’t matter. :-/ Have you tried printing all versions to see if each file gives you trouble, or just one?
Melissa
I am having the same problem. No cookie images when I print even though it shows them in the printing preview window.
Melissa
Laura
Hi Melissa! I’m not sure why the photos aren’t printing. =( I just did another test print on my end and it works just fine. Is your printer and Acrobat software up to date? Could you try printing on another printer? (Maybe ask a local friend or leader to try?)
KELLIE JOHNSON
This is such a wonderful idea. Thank you for sharing. We are little Brownie Baker but cookies are $4.25 $5 special. I am not that savey to do things like this.
Laura
Hi Kellie! Glad you like it! If the prices don’t work maybe you could use the blank one and write in the prices for your area. Hope that helps!
Jill
Thank you SO much for sharing this. It is absolutely perfect!!! I love that you have visually separated the traditional from the specialty cookies – it makes it so quick and easy for the girls to figure it out! I will be giving these to both my Daisy and Cadette troops. Thanks again!!!
Laura
Yay! So glad I could help. =)
Angela Warren
Hi! I was so happy to find your awesome GS cookie card lanyard printable. Would you mind sharing with me the 4 dollars a box graphic with the amounts? I think it is a great way for our Daisy’s to easily be involved in the selling with out getting too stressed over math. The 4 dollars graphic you have posted is blank for the money portion. Perhaps I missed some instructions as I have been up a while trying to do extra mom duties before the family gets up! Many thanks for any help you can give. I appreciate you sharing your hard work with others. Have a great day, Angela Warren, GS Troop 23625 new cookie mom. I tried to send you a message using your contact you form, but it is not working. Thanks
Laura
Hi! Sorry for the trouble with the contact form, I have updated it again so hopefully it works…I was getting a TON of spam recently that was causing issues. I will have to make a new file for those, I don’t currently have one with a $4 price list. I’ll let you know as soon as it is available!! ♥ Thanks for reading the blog and good luck with cookie sales!!
Laura
Angela – a $4/box PDF has been uploaded to the Library. =)
Angela Warren
Laura, I am grateful for your generosity! It will reward you two fold. Many thanks, Angela
Laura
Thank you, Angela. =) You are so sweet. I totally believe if you keep putting good out into the world not only will it benefit others, but it will make its way back to you! ♥
Angela Warren
Laura, I am not seeing the new graphic you did with the $4/box prices. I’ve tried refreshing. Is there something else I can do for it to load? Many thanks
Angela
Laura
I’m so sorry! Not sure what happened, I SWEAR it was there last night! LOL Maybe my updates didn’t save. I just added it again and double checked…please try now. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Dana
Am I the only person who doesn’t see the password?
Laura
Hi Dana. Did you sign up for the email list? It should provide it immediately, as well as by email. Hope that helps!
Stephanie
Thank you for creating such a great resource! I just wanted to let you know that according to the 2022 allergen list on the LBB website, both Tagalongs and LemonUps contain milk – meaning they aren’t Vegan. You may want to adjust that on the LBB card so we don’t accidentally sell someone something they can’t/won’t enjoy. Thanks again for creating this and sharing it!!
Laura
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for letting me know! It never occurred to me that those recipes might change; my girls are no longer in Scouts so I don’t get updates, but I will make a note to double check that in the future. I will pull the files and get them updated as soon as I can…hopefully today! ♥
Ginna Park
These are amazing! Thank you! Our cookies are all $6 this year. Can you make one with the $6 price sheet? Thank you!!
Laura
Hi Ginna! I just added the link at the bottom under “By Request”. =) Hope that helps! ♥
Beth
Can you please make a LBB one with all 9 cookies kinds $5 please? That would be so helpful for our Girl Scouts of Central Indiana troops 😉 THANK YOU for all your time and effort 😉
Laura
Absolutely! Please have a look, I’ve added a new link for that file. Happy to help! Good luck with cookie sales! ♥
Beth
These lanyards are great but I noticed that the Lemon-Up on the LBB version looks like an ABC Lemonade and was wondering if you can go to LBB’s site and get a Lemon-Up to put on the lanyard instead? Please and Thank You 😉
Laura
Gah!! Thank you for letting me know, I totally missed that! Please check the files now, they have been updated. =)
Jennifer
Why is there an asterisk next to S’mores?
Laura
Hi Jennifer! Thank you for pointing that out…I honestly am not sure why that was there. I have removed it and updated the files. =)
Whitney Scarbrough
Do you have the ABC cookies with the Vegan labels? I looked for it but didn’t see it. I could have missed it! Thank you!
Laura
Hi Whitney! I have updated the file, please refresh and download again. Thank you!
GM
Hi! Is it possible to still download these? When I click on the links, it says: “No preview available, file is in owner’s trash”. Thank you so very much!
Laura
Hey there! Sorry for the trouble, I made some updates and must have messed something up. I have relinked everything and it looks good on my end, but please let me know if you still have trouble. Thanks!
Nisa
These look great. Only one thing: Cookies are $6 now where I am.
Laura
