At Girl Scout Cookie Booths, troops sell Girl Scout Cookies to customers at shopping centers, churches, apartment complexes, festivals, restaurants and other venues in their area.
Cookie Booths give customers a chance to get their favorite Girl Scout Cookies immediately and give 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.
How can parents get involved?
Sometimes it's difficult to get an entire troop together at one time. To host a Girl Scout Cookie Booth, at least one registered adult and two registered girl members need to be present. Parents who are registered members can help girls host a Cookie Booth. That way, girls can participate even if a Troop Leader is unavailable or if girls need to come in shifts, etc.
Cookie Booths also involve a lot of hands-on money management and interaction with customers. Parents can help girls prepare at home by practicing making change or going over her sales pitch together. These skills will be helpful to her throughout her lifetime!
(great for younger girls)
