Submitted by Troop 80671<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Good<\/a>We have had many Girl Scout cookie booths over the years. Because we have a large combined group of 40 girls, we even have several booth sales a each year to give everyone\u00a0a chance to participate.\u00a0 Leaders often ask us “What makes a good cookie booth?” There is no right or wrong way to set up a booth. We have done so many different things. Today I want to share some helpful tips and ideas to set up your next cookie booth to be successful.<\/p>\n

Gift of Caring Box<\/h3>\n

We always decorate a box to\u00a0hold cookie donations for each booth.\u00a0Each location\u00a0has a\u00a0charity for\u00a0the “Gift of Caring” cookie. We have donated to our local military group, the fire department, soup kitchens and Home Safe Home.\u00a0\u00a0We make it a contest between\u00a0the booth locations to see who could get the most donations. This way the girls always remember to ask when they are selling.<\/p>\n

Make a Day of Girl Scout Cookie Selling<\/h3>\n

\"Good<\/a>After council has contacted\u00a0local businesses\u00a0for booth location, we contact additional sites like local corner stores and dairy queen. We find about\u00a0four different places and\u00a0have what\u00a0we call a Marathon Cookie sale. The booths are run from about 11 to 5, rotating girls in and out during the day.\u00a0 Several leaders that stay all day to help run them. Two of\u00a0these booths\u00a0are always set up as a Drive Thru, we put up orange cones and enter and exit signs, the girls are not allowed to approach a car without a adult with them to remain safe.\u00a0\u00a0 We always contact and get approval from the local business so we will be able to use their rest rooms for the day.<\/p>\n

One thing we do on marathon day\u00a0is to have two leaders designated\u00a0as runners.\u00a0If a booth gets low on cases, they call\u00a0for a runner to\u00a0drop off more cases.\u00a0\u00a0We have a sign out sheet so we can keep track of how many cookies are at each booth and how much money each booth will have when we close them down.\u00a0\u00a0 We start and end each booth at a different time so runners\u00a0can close them out.\u00a0During the sale, runners\u00a0pick up money\u00a0so we don’t have a\u00a0lot of\u00a0 at each site for safety.<\/p>\n

Decorating\u00a0Your Booth<\/h3>\n

The girls make poster boards signs to hold up that say Buy Girl Scout Cookies.\u00a0\u00a0Our council always lends out cookie costumes for the girls to rotate between them. Sometimes we have\u00a0 themes to make it more interesting.\u00a0One of groups made their booth look tropical, while another group made their booth red, white and blue, the booths also stack up cookie cases this is a good look plus a good wind block.<\/p>\n

Few of our Past Booth Designs<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Good\u00a0\u00a0\"Good<\/h3>\n

Be Safe with Money<\/h3>\n

We are collecting a lot of money during day. For safety reasons,\u00a0we\u00a0try have a car near the booth where an adult and girl\u00a0 will be making change. If you are in a outside area where it is not possible to have a car parked, keep\u00a0your money behind you covered up and out of site with an adult nearby.\u00a0Unfortunately, there have been many incidents where girl scouts cookie money has been stolen.<\/p>\n

Selling ideas<\/h3>\n

Have the girls hold up cookies to show people as they walk by, or have a few cookies broken up on a tray for samples.\u00a0\u00a0 We bought the girls pom pom\u2019s so they could\u00a0shake them around; this is really great to help young scouts not to get bored.\u00a0 We use them from year to year.<\/p>\n

If you are in a large parking lot and allowed to put up a canopy and place large cardboard box with sign stating it was a drive through.<\/p>\n

The booths put up pictures of activities they had done, plus a sign stating what the goal was for the troop.\u00a0 Our troop goal is always the same; sell enough cookies to receive a cookie shirt for each member of the troop.\u00a0 With 40 girls that is a lot of cookies to sell, our first order is always that amount of cookies. The job of each person in the troop is to sell all of them. I realize this is a gamble but this is the choice of the troop because they want the shirts.\u00a0 We have several booth sales to make it and we have a great group of parents and leaders to accomplish this. Last year we sold over 8000 boxes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let your girls have some fun coming up with ideas to decorate their cookie booth to attract more attention! Booth sales are more fun for girls when they get to be creative and help set up an eye popping booth. This We Blinged Our Cookie Booth<\/a><\/strong> fun patch will help them remember the fun they had getting their booth ready.<\/p>\n
