22018 Booth Sale Guidelines
Booth sales are a privilege granted to us by local merchants, and if abused, even unintentionally, could cause all
Girl Scouts to lose the opportunity for additional booth sales at these locations permanently. Girls and adults need
to be careful and considerate of the merchant’s property and customers.
Guidelines for ALL Booth Sales including Parent/Daughter:
All adults participating in booth sales must complete online Booth Sale training and a Safety Briefing must be
conducted, even for parent/daughter booth sales.
A permission slip is required for ALL booth sales even if you will be there with your own daughter.
ALL booth sales sites must be secured and scheduled through the Booth Sale Coordinator.
Have permits on hand if required by the city - check with the Booth Sale Coordinator.
Be at your booth sale location, ready to set up, at your reserved time.
If you must cancel a booth sale, be sure to cancel it in the Cookie Program
Software, ABCSmartCookies. This will open the time slot to other troops and
the Booth Locator will not advertise an empty location to customers.
Follow store guidelines.
Ensure that girls and table don’t block traffic going into or out of the store.
Do not bring friends or siblings.
Settle all disputes politely and calmly in the Girl Scout manner. DO NOT involve
the store manager. Contact your Booth Sale Coordinator immediately if there is
a problem.
Only accept cash from customers and remember to bring change. Money
should be safeguarded by an adult. As money accumulates, place in a locked
trunk of a car.
Remove all boxes and trash before leaving booth site and dispose at home.
Use a counterfeit detection pen and light. DO NOT accept anything larger than a $20 bill.
Additional Guidelines for Troop Booth Sales:
Divide booth sale times into shifts and adjust shift length as needed to fit girls’ attention spans.
Two Troop Helpers are required at Troop booth sales to supervise girls, money and product. Refer to
the Online Booth Sale Training on
Follow store guidelines. Most stores prefer no more than two girls at a door at a time.
Make deposits into troop’s account immediately after booth sales to ensure the money is safe.
Divide the number of items sold at a booth sale fairly among the girls participating.
Adults or girls not following Girl Scout guidelines could result in negative
consequences for the entire troop.
The consequences could consist of one or more of the following:
Loss of girl recognitions
Loss of troop recognitions
Loss of future booth sales
Troop not being able to participate in future booth sale lotteries
