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.
