Cookie Booths
DO
- Enter all your self-scheduled booths into eBudde for approval.
- Cancel any booths that you will not use. If you can't make a booth offer it to a fellow Pima troop onf Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/pimags/ or send a note to Pima Neighborhood before cancelling so we can keep the booth in our neighborhood.
- Bring your own equipment and supplies (a SMALL table, tape, carts, signs, etc).
- Talk to parents and girls about expectations and behavior.
- Wear Girl Scout identification. You will do better at a booth if your girls wear matching/troop tshirts with vests/sashes. The more professional you look, the better you will do.
- Have girl health forms with you, as well as a MS-27 emergency card for reference. http://www.girlscoutsaz.org/content/dam/girlscoutsaz/documents/forms/ms-27-emergency-procedures.pdf
