Only registered Girl Scouts are allowed to sell Girl Scout Cookies. Any resale or redistribution of Girl Scout Cookies is unauthorized. • Girls and troops can sell a lot of cookies in a short period of time because they don’t have to transport boxes to individual homes. • Girls and troops can reach customers that may have been overlooked or were unreachable during door-to-door sales. • Four out of five people will purchase Girl Scout Cookies if asked, but nearly 35% of potential customers are never asked! • Select a location with a lot of “foot traffic.” Weekends are generally the best times. • Take an adequate supply of the best sellers — at least two or three cases each of Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, and 1 to 2 cases each of the other varieties. • Make an attractive table display to invite customer interest. Balloons and cookie costumes are great or girls can choose a theme and "Bling their Booth." • Prepare a troop goal poster and display it at your booth. Customers love to help girls reach their goals! Update the poster as boxes are sold. • Have a Hometown Hero/Gift of Caring donation sign. Customers who don't want to buy cookies for themselves like to buy cookies to donate and support the Girl Scouts! • Make safety a priority at all booths. • Girls should wear Girl Scout uniform/Girl Scout T-shirt/member pin and dress for the weather. Girls & Parents: Contact your troop cookie manager (TCM) and/or troop leader Troops: Contact your service unit cookie manager (SUCM) Service Unit Cookie Managers: Contact regional product program support specialist General Questions Girl Scouts of Colorado: 1-877-404-5708 or [email protected] 3 GSCO In Girl Scouts of Colorado is following the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment as we monitor the coronavirus, COVID-19 pandemic. All Girl Scouts and adults must follow the most current GSCO COVID-19 guidelines in relation to in-person events, including participation in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. For current information, click on the COVID-19 updates banner on the GSCO website. Click the link or scan the QR code to access the COVID-19 information banner on the homepage of the GSCO website or click on the link: https://www.girlscoutsofcolorado.org/ • Each booth table will need to have hand sanitizer accessible to troop and customers. • Each booth table will need to have sanitization supplies to wipe down any touch points between customers. • If using a bin method, bins need to be sanitized between each customer. • Pens should be sanitized after use. Have a jar or bin for used pens to keep them separate. • Masks will need to be worn at all times at a booth. • Girls and adults should use hand sanitizer between each customer. • Girls and adults should not attend a booth if they are not comfortable being there or if they do not feel well. • Troops may build or buy a plastic barrier or sneeze guard to use at a booth. Instructions to build your own guard can be found near the end of this guide. • Girls and adults may make or buy face masks. Instructions on how to make your own face shield are near the end of this guide. 4 Booth Selections We are planning to go forward with in-person Cookie Booths, along with alternative options. However, those plans are subject to change, based on state and local guidelines around in-person gatherings or interactions due to COVID-19. GSCO understands Girls Scouts have set both individual and troop goals and count on booths to help meet these goals. However, it is not the responsibility of GSCO or its staff to determine which troops have the better goals or booth sites. The selection system in place is the fairest way for troops to reserve council booth locations. JAN Council Booth selections happen in eBudde. Troop cookie managers (TCMs) should check-in with girls and their families about booth sign-up/participation 25-29 ahead of making booth selections. Juliette caregivers/parents act as TCMs for their Girl Scout and can also select Council Booth locations. If TCMs need assistance with booth selection, they should contact their service unit cookie manager. January 25 - Round 1 Booth selection (6:00 p.m. - 11:59 p.m.) – pick 1 booth January 26 - Round 2 Booth selection (6:00 p.m. - 11:59 p.m.) – pick 2 booths January 27 - Round 3 Booth selection (6:00 p.m. - 11:59 p.m.) – pick 3 booths January 28 - Round 4 Booth selection (6:00 p.m. - 11:59 p.m.) – pick 4 booths January 29 - Round 5 Booth selection (6:00 p.m. - Open) From January 29 until February 8, selection is open with a limit of 100 total booths. On February 8, Council Booth selection opens for the remainder of the program with no limits on number of booths selected. JAN Select Council Booths and My Sales Booths begin! 31 Reminder: My Sales Booths and Council Booths cannot be the same location. No exceptions. See page 7 for a list of Council Booth retailers. FEB Remaining Council Booths begin and My Sales Booths continue. 12 5 eBudde eBudde eBudde helps power the Girl Scout Cookie Program! It's Little Brownie Bakers online inventory management system that cookie program volunteers use. eBudde is also integrated with the Digital Cookie platform used by girls and their families to help run the Girl Scout's online cookie business. Logging into eBudde All cookie program volunteers must be registered for the 2020-2021 membership year, have a current background check, and complete a TCM or SUCM volunteer agreement form. Volunteers will be sent an email with an access link once they are approved in their role and uploaded to eBudde. If you are a new volunteer, you will be asked to create a password. Returning volunteers will be able to log-in with their previous password. Volunteers can do just about everything they need to do - send communications, manage cookie inventory and track sales - through the eBudde mobile app. The eBudde app is available in the Google Play store and the App store. Each year the app is updated and improved so if you have the app from last year, delete the app and download the most recent app. eBudde Resources eBudde will be available before and during the cookie program. Short tutorial videos will be posted on the GSCO Facebook page and YouTube channel. Tip sheets, guides and tutorial videos are also available in the eBudde help center, accessible through the eBudde site or go to the Cookie Tech Portal to access VIP eTraining: https://cookieportal.littlebrownie.com/ Scan this QR code and check out eBudde and other volunteer resources on the GSCO Cookie Resources page too. 6 Council / My Sales Booths What is a Council Booth? GSCO staff coordinates with certain corporations to establish the dates and times they will allow booths at their locations during the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Council booth locations include: GNC, Safeway, City Market, King Soopers, Albertsons, Walmart, Dunkin Donuts, JoAnn Fabrics and Sam’s Club locations in the state of Colorado. These locations are NOT to be contacted by any troop, girl or adult, at any time, for any reason. Select council booths will start as early as January 31. All other council booths will begin February 12 through March 7. Booth selections begin January 25. Releasing Booths TCMs/troops should release a booth right away if they know they are not going to be able to work one of their selected booths. The TCM can release the booth from the eBudde dashboard calendar. Once a booth is released, it updates Cookie Finder AND any troop on the waitlist is notified that the booth is available for selection on a first come basis. My Sales Booths My Sales booths run from January 31 to March 7, 2021. GSCO encourages Girl Scouts to use their creative, entrepreneurial

  • Girl Scout Responses to Social and Sensitive Issues FINAL.Docx
    Girl Scout Responses to Social and Sensitive Issues During Girl Scout Cookie Season (typically January through early March in most areas), we tend to see an uptick in false news connected to Girl Scouts. You may also encounter challenges at booth sales. Please use the information below to help dispel myths about Girl Scouts and the Girl Scout Cookie Program. If questions go beyond your comfortable response, please direct customers to reach out to [email protected] The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest fundraiser for our Girl Scouts - with 100% of the proceeds remaining in our council to benefit girls through council hosted programs and properties, service unit funds and troop proceeds to fund troop-based activities. SAFETY The safety and protection of girls and adult volunteers and our customers is a top priority. Several safety guidelines are established to keep girls safe when selling cookies online, door-to-door, or at community cookie booths. These guidelines are published and distributed to each participating family. We do not tolerate individuals who harass girls at cookie booths. In the instance that individuals or groups attending a Girl Scout Cookie sale make girls, volunteers, or staff uncomfortable, we will call law enforcement. COVID Safety Girls and families are given options when participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program so they can determine the pathway that is right for them. Girls and volunteers who exhibit signs of illness may not participate in booth and door-to-door sales and deliveries. Digital Cookie: With the help of her parent/caregiver, a Girl Scout sets up Digital Cookie to sell online.

  • Tips for Talking Girl Scouts
    Girl Scout Cookie Program Tips for Talking Girl Scouts This cookie season, show cookie customers how the iconic Girl Scout Cookie Program (the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world!) prepares girls in their communities to lead, learn, and succeed, all while making it possible for them to embark on amazing adventures, form a lifetime of memories, and unleash the power to change the world! When talking to cookie customers about the sale and why girls participate, make sure to: • Tell them about all the things girls are learning by selling Girl Scout Cookies, like goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. • Share your girls’ sales goals and what the troop plans to do with its cookie proceeds in the coming year. (PRO TIP: Knowing how troops use cookie money is what customers really want to hear about when they consider supporting your sale and stocking up on cookies!) • Remind them that 100 percent of cookie proceeds stay local. The money raised through the cookie sale helps your council power unique, amazing experiences for girls year-round. And the best part? The girls get to decide what they’ll spend their hard-earned cookie cash on—it’s their world! Girl Scouts is about so much more than cookies. Everything a Girl Scout does centers on four program pillars: science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM); the outdoors; life skills; and entrepreneurship. Plus, this year we added new badges in STEM and the outdoors to up the adventure and the learning! Girl Scouts is the only place where girls can work toward and earn the Gold Award—one of the most prestigious awards for girls in the world! Earning a Girl Scout Gold Award is a great boost when it comes to applying for college and scholarships, establishing a lifetime network, and so much more! Younger girls can also complete their Bronze and Silver awards as they work up to the Gold.
