Parents Can Help At Cookie Booths - Here's How!
Ask your Troop Leader or Troop Cookie Manager to help you complete the Responsible Adult Requirements and become a registered Girl Scout member. The requirements include a volunteer application, background screening, the Responsible Adult Safety Briefing and the Volunteering for Girl Scout Series & Events online training (password is volunteer).
Top Cookie Seller Tips
- Personalize this Door Hanger to leave on the doorknobs of houses when no one answers, so they can contact you later for cookies.
- Sell Cookie Share! Print this flyer and receipts.
- Use the Success Made Simple Cookie Tip Sheet with your Order Card to keep track of customers, record Cookie Share sales, and take orders for future deliveries.
- Create Cookie Bundles for Valentine's Day, birthday gifts and more. Print Cookie Bundle tags available on our Volunteer Network and tie with ribbon.
- Personalize and give each customer a Thank You note so they can contact you when they want more cookies!
Girls may conduct "lemonade style" cookie stands on their own property and sell cookies door-to-door in residential neighborhoods with parent's supervision. Selling in any other location requires special permission to ensure we abide by local and city requirements. Refer to your Family Guide for cookie program information and contact your Troop Cookie Manager with questions.
