· What should I do if an issue arises at a booth?:
Always represent Girl Scouts well! Behave appropriately in all situations!
o DO NOT INVOLVE MANAGEMENT OR EMPLOYEES OF THE ESTABLISHMENT
o Attempt to resolve the issue calmly and logically. If the issue is concerning who signed up for a specific booth slot, pull up eBudde and see who is supposed to be there. The troop who signed up for that booth will stay. The other troop must leave without disturbing Girl Scouts, parents, customers, or employees.
o Contact your Service Unit Cookie Manager and /or Sarah Stutsman.
o If any emergencies occur, use the Emergency Card to contact the Senior Staff Member on call - 205-563-9479
Family Cookie Experiences:
o Families can set up local booths for their family to participate in the Cookie Program! How this will work:
o At least one (1) registered Girl Scout must be in attendance.
o Family Cookie Experiences are not allowed at council-coordinated booth locations.
o Parent/Guardian must have permission from the establishment and complete a Booth Permission Form. This form must be sent to the Troop Cookie Manager.
o At this time, it is NOT required for Family Cookie Experiences to be entered in eBudde. However, loading the booth into eBudde is the only way for it to be seen on the Cookie Finder and will prevent booths from being scheduled too closely together.
o Family Cookie Experiences must follow all etiquette, GSNCA, GSUSA, and Service Unit guidelines concerning booths.
o Follow all safety guidelines.

o
The exact addresses of Council Pop-up booths are
still being finalized.
o
Troops must arrive no later than 15 minutes
before the booth start time.
o
Troops will not need to provide cookie
inventory for the Council Pop-up booths. Troop/booth leaders will inventory the
cookies with the GSNCA staff member before and after the booth. The troop is
assigned cookies as a cupboard transaction per the inventory sheet. Please
ensure you count and recount all cookies!
o
Troops must provide change for cash customers. Cash
box, change, and any funds received at the booth will be strictly the troop's
responsibility to monitor, count, and secure. Staff members are not to handle
any cash and cannot be responsible for securing any cash on behalf of the
troop.
o
Troops must have a process to offer
debit/credit card customers an option to pay as this will be advertised at the
booth. (Troop Site Link, individual girl Digital Cookie profile, Square, etc.)
o
Girls are encouraged to provide "Thank
you" notes to customers with the Troop or girl's Digital Cookie link to
request reorders.
o
It is a recommended practice to bring bags to
place orders in.
