2022 Girl Scout Cookie Booth Guide

Submitting a Troop-Scheduled Booth

Troops are encouraged to contact locations other than those scheduled by Council and request approval to hold a cookie booth. Ask families in your troop if they have connections in the community that could provide a booth location. To schedule your own booth location, please take the Cookie Collaborator Letter to a local business. You should request a Certificate of Insurance if your planned booth will take place inside the doors of the business. Please remember to check the Council-Scheduled booth listings before contacting a business. Partnership agreements with these companies require all booth scheduling to be done through council in eBudde. After you schedule your troop-scheduled booth, please report that booth in eBudde so we can help customers find you. Use the dropdown to select the My Sales option. Click on the text of Add a Location. A window on the right will be displayed so you can enter the information necessary. To ensure that information is clearly reflected in the Girl Scouts USA Cookie Booth Finder, please double check your submission before clicking “Add” to ensure that the address and business name are listed correctly. Click Add once all the information is entered. The system will display a confirmation window. Your request is in a Pending status until reviewed. It will be approved or denied by an authorized council designated person. Troop-scheduled booths are reviewed for approval once/week. Please submit booths as far in advance as possible. On the left, the color-coding and view status functions identify the status of the request. Booth locations may show as pending, approved or denied. A troop can record their booth site sales. The troop records total packages sold and then can distribute those packages to the girls. You can record sales for both council sites and troop requested sites. In order for Girl Scouts to be eligible for this year’s booth sales patch, the Troop Cookie Manager must record their booth sales by selecting the “Bth” checkbox or the Recording Booth Sales function when distributing the packages sold to Girl Scouts who participated in the booth. Select Record Sales from the drop-down list in your Booths tab. The system will display the booth sites that the troop has signed up for or reported. Sales are listed in chronological order, oldest to newest. If you have recorded sales for a booth site, it will appear gray in the list. You can still open and edit if necessary. Recording Booth Sales in eBudde Remember, all booth sales should be in girl-appropriate areas. A good rule of thumb is, if girls cannot legally patronize the business, they shouldn’t hold a booth there.

Find more information on how to record booth sales in the eBudde Help Center.
