demonstrative the Girl Scout Promise and Law and come up with a
mutually agreed upon solution to the problem demonstrating sound
business ethics to the Girl Scouts.
As a troop we will be identifiable as Girl Scouts and wear a
Membership Pin, uniform or other Girl Scout clothing and have neat

But the bottom line is this:
We sell cookies because we know Girl Scouting
Makes a difference in the lives of girls.”

Why Participate in either type of sale.To reach as many customers as possible. To sell troop’s leftover cookies.To have FUN! To give girls who weren’t able to sell individually an opportunity to participate in the Cookie Sale.
Why Booth Etiquette?Standards for girls and parents.Businesses allow girl scouts to sell at their place of business and we need to be respectful of the place of business.Every Girl Scouts leaves a place better than they found it.Troops and girls need to look and act like Girl Scouts and show troop number at the booth sale.Problems at booth sales---Girls playing and running around the place of business or in the road.Girls and parents are aggressive to customers.Girls and parents forget the Girl Scout Promise and Law.Trash is left after the booth sale.Girls and parents not being positive when someone does purchase cookies.

Service Unit Cookie Managers need to:Review troop orders on line.Are quantities realisticIf high did the troop think they were entering packages instead of cases? Such do they want 300 cases of Shortbreat or 300 packages. They would received 300 cases or 3600 packages,Is the order to small?Is the troop an experienced troop? Review old snap records and last years sales for the troop.What about my cupboard, how do I get additional cookies? Council will work with you Percentage of flavors sold Council will have formula’s that they will use to figure your cupboard order based on percentage of SU cookies ordered. Smaller initial orders means a percentage of additional cookies will go into the cupboard. Review previous years sale.Challenge troops under order cookies and need cookies in a couple of days. Troops need to increase order to about 50 to 60% of last year cookies up front.
Throughout the sale your job is to manage your SU inventory.Troop reorders, booth requests.Troops need to place additional orders with you,Troops should place orders each Sunday by 7 pm (suggesttime set up by SUCC).Service Unit Cookie Chairs will: Collect troop orders and total all requests Turn in email to your regional product sale coordinator each Sunday Turn in between 9 to 10 pm Council needs to know what is in stock and what your needs are, how many booths, etc.Communicate With your troops With your regional office Share with other Service Units
