It’s Cookie Time again! By popular demand the free printables for Girl Scout Cookie Lanyards have been updated to include Little Brownie Bakers and ABC Bakers new cookies for the 2021 season.
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. (By request I have updated these to include a Vegan tag for applicable cookies.)
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.
UPDATE: Since pricing varies in different areas, current printables do not have pricing on the front. If you would like a version with pricing please let me know, I will try to get those made!
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.

Want to remember this? Post this Girl Scout Cookie Lanyard Cheat Sheet Tutorial with Free Printables to your favorite Pinterest board!
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.
Oooh, that’s a good idea too!
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!
Glad you like it! Check the post again, I’m uploading some more versions for you. =) Hope that helps!
Great! Thank you!
How do you download to print thank you
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!
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!
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!!
I like these a lot but our cookies are all $4. Can I edit this to make that change?
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!
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!
You are so welcome, and sweet to say that! I never thought about it like that. =) Glad I could be “friendly and helpful!” =)
Will you be updating this for 2019?
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.
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?
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?
I am having the same problem. No cookie images when I print even though it shows them in the printing preview window.

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?)
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.
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!
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!!!
Yay! So glad I could help. =)
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
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!!
Angela – a $4/box PDF has been uploaded to the Library. =)
Laura, I am grateful for your generosity! It will reward you two fold. Many thanks, Angela
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! ♥
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
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!
Am I the only person who doesn’t see the password?
Hi Dana. Did you sign up for the email list? It should provide it immediately, as well as by email. Hope that helps!
