What is Cheddar Up?
Cheddar Up is a digital payment and tracking tool that will
help your troop or service unit easily collect money online for Girl
Scout activities or events. Through our partnership with Cheddar Up,
your troop or service unit bank account will be linked with your
Cheddar Up account so you can quickly accept online payments for
expenses such as uniforms, supplies, badges, activities, outings,
camp, Camporees, or event registration. Learn how to get started with Cheddar Up by watching
a short video.

How do I share my collection page after I create it?
From the “My Collections” page, you’ll want to click on your
collection. Then, simply click on “Share” in the top gray bar. There
you’ll see your unique URL for your collection. You can copy this link
and begin sharing it with your parents and other potential payers via
all your communication channels—email, text, Facebook...or even a
paper handout or event registration form. You can also use our
“invite” feature, which allows you to enter (or copy and paste) your
parent emails so Cheddar Up can send them a friendly invitation to
view the collection.
Can I share one link that lists
all my troop’s active collections?
Yes. If you have several collections on Cheddar Up, the
“Collections Home Page” is what you need! It allows you to share ONE
link that lists all your troop’s active collections. Now your Girl
Scout troop families will always know where to find the latest options
for payment. No more finding the right link or messing with passwords.
It’s all in one spot and at their fingertips. Check out this short video
to see it in action.
