Cookie Booths 2019
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 on 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
- Take written proof of booth scheduling from eBudde with you.
- Take a signed agreement to AJs or Basha's to give to the manager.
- Arrive five minutes before your booth start and leave promptly when your time is over.
- Check in and out with the store manager and give him/her a thank you note.
- Follow store set-up rules.
- Follow any directions given to you by the store managers and employees.
- Be polite to customers, store employees, fellow Girl Scouts, and adult volunteers at all times but particularly if you encounter a confrontational situation.
