Bling Your Booth Contest is Back!
4 Weeks of Prizes + One Super Grand Bling Party!!

Back by popular demand - it's Bling Your Booth! Let the decorating begin, take a photo and be a part of the contest. Every Girl Scout cookie customer loves a highly visual booth. All your troop has to do is select an interest area; sports, cooking, outdoors and more. Think about this year's Cookie Program theme, "Lead the Change" and be sure to showcase the 5 skills. 


 

There will be four weeks of competition, Facebook voting and weekly 1st - 3rd place prizes (Cookie Dough and patches!). Then the four weekly 1st place winners will compete for the ultimate Grand Prize, a BLING Party! Think a red (of course in our case a GS green) carpet experience with great food, swag bags, a visit from CEO Joy Wheeler and more surprises! Check out the contest details and submission dates and begin decorating now!


 Want to go beyond just our council contest? Learn more about how you can participate in the National Bling Your Booth contest as well!


 
Hosting a booth sale is an important sales technique in girls' cookie businesses. If you are outside the KC metro and/or set up your own booth sale following guidelines in your Troop Cookie Manager manual, make sure that you follow the directions to get your booth sale in SNAP. We upload all booth sales in SNAP to the national booth locator. 


 

Girl Scout Cookie Recipe Weekend
Imagine the Possibilities - Feb. 21 & 22

Yum! Girl Scout cookies are great ingredients in some tasty recipes! We are celebrating the possibilities with our official 1st Cookie Booth Weekend by giving our customers some nice options through a special GS Cookie Recipe Pinterest Board.


 In addition, we are working with select Hy-Vees to help us create the recipes including the Hy-Vee on Ward Road in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Stay tuned for some fun with Chef Mark who is a GS dad! If your troop is having a booth sale at one of our participating Hy-Vees we will contact you directly prior to February 21.


 If you are having a booth sale at another location, don't worry! Use the Pinterest Board to share with your potential customers and help drive your sales. Maybe even have your girls make a recipe or two and plan to share at your booth with customers.

Operation Sweet Treat - Celebrating Cookie Share
Showcasing National Cookie Weekend Feb. 27-Mar. 1

We are so honored to have the USO as our Cookie Share partner this season! Girls have already been busy asking customers to buy a box or more for our incredible service men and women at Ft. Riley, Ft. Leavenworth and Whiteman AFB!


  During this year's National Cookie Weekend, we are showcasing this tremendous Cookie Share partner with Operation Sweet Treat. Operation Sweet Treat was first developed by Manhattan Town Center who joined us 8 years ago in partnership. We are proud to have three additional malls involved in this endeavor - Westridge Mall in Topeka, Kan., East Hills Mall in St. Joseph, Mo. and Independence Center in Independence, Mo. In addition, Hendrick Lexus of KC in Merriam, Kan. will also serve as an official Operation Sweet Treat location. Manhattan,Topeka and St. Joseph service units are coordinating a special lottery for the mall spots. Stay tuned for the Independence Center booth lottery and Johnson county troops received information about the Hendrick Lexus location this past weekend. 


 Don't worry! If you are participating in a booth sale at another location, just download the special signage and turn your booth into an Operation Sweet Treat site. Be sure to take photos and use #opsweettreat @gsksmo to instagram, tweet and Facebook!
