Cookie Troop Product Manager Agreement and Training


You MUST do the online training in order to get access to the TPM and therefore to eBudde for booth selection.

Please read that again.  If you have an early booth selection, please be sure to have this completed by November 1st at the latest so that you can access the system on November 2nd. I cannot help you if you do not complete the online training.  Council is the gatekeeper for eBudde access under this new plan.  I recommend getting it done well before November 1st as well in case of problems that require council's assistance to solve.

NEIGHBORHOOD TRAINING

In light of this new council process, we will be dramatically altering our neighborhood training.  

Cookie training is on Monday, November 4th.  Both the cookie manager and troop leader must attend one of these two meeting. We have 2 sessions available for you 10:00-11:30am and 6:30-8:00pm. Both trainings will be held at the Boys & Girls Clubs Of Greater Scottsdale 10515 E Lakeview Dr, Scottsdale, AZ, just like our normal monthly meetings.

We will be giving out the cookie materials at these meetings. In order to have these complete we need a bit of information from you. If you were at Monday’s leader meeting you already completed this step.
  • Troop number
  • Leader's name
  • Cookie manager's name
  • # of girls selling

Please email Teresa Dempsey tdempseyaz@cox.net with this information by 10/21.

NEW LEADERS/COOKIE MANAGERS:
 Please complete all of the online training before November 4th.  Bring your questions to training on November 4th.  New leaders and managers will be asked to stay the full 90 minutes with 45 minutes devoted to answering questions.  Therefore, as you do the online training, start a list of questions!  We will be doing mini training modules before Q and A and hopefully will hit some of your concerns.

EXPERIENCED LEADERS/MANAGERS: Likewise please complete the online training before November 4th at the latest. Experienced folks will be asked to stay just 45 minutes to collect materials and go over information that is not covered well by Council.  You are welcome to stay for the Q and A period but are not required to do so.  We will want your feedback on the new training process.  I can envision an even shorter training for experienced leaders next year.  Please help us transition this year.
