There's Still Time to Sign Up for a Girl Scout Cookie Booth




During GSSI’s Cookie Booth weekends, troops sell Girl Scout Cookies to customers at shopping centers, churches, apartment complexes, festivals, restaurants and other venues in their area. Cookie Booths gives customers a chance to get their favorite Girl Scout Cookies immediately and gives Girl Scouts the opportunity to reach a wider audience, promote the benefits of the Girl Scout Cookie program in their community and work on key business, financial and personal skills together as a troop.

 To host a Girl Scout Cookie Booth, troops needs just one registered adult volunteer and two registered Girl Scouts.  This flexibility allows troops to sell in shifts or on different days and to participate even if the whole troop cannot get together.
Remaining Council-Wide Cookie Booth Weekends are March 7-9 and March 14-16. A letter has been mailed to troops that have registered. If you would like to participate in a booth weekend, the eBudde Cookie Cupboard Ordering Quick Guide will help you navigate the easy online ordering system.
If you are unable to participate in the Council Sponsored Booth weekends but would still like to host a booth outside of those dates, please contact Product Program now. We would be happy to provide cookies for your scheduled booth weekend.

Need a creative way to sell cookies? GSSI’s Product Program team is here to help! Below are just a few ideas to get you started -- call or e-mail if you’d like to discuss your idea!
 
  • Contact your local legion halls for area fish fries or other special events.
  • Have an empty parking lot or store front in town? – Set up a drive thru cookie sale.
  • Decorate your van and drive around the neighborhoods selling cookies.
  • Check out your local sporting events to see if you can set up a booth.
