2023 Troop Cookie Manager Guide

COOKIE BOOTH RESOURCES

The Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri Shop sells a variety of cookie merchandise, including tablecloths and signs. Ask the shop staff how to create your own booth kit your troop can use year after year!

Troops may also wish to check out a cookie booth kit. A limited number of kits will be available through your District materials closet. Kits include cookie costume, yard sign, and a tablecloth. Kits are reserved on a first come, first-served basis.

Want to print or get inspiration for your own booth marketing materials? Visit your eBudde Help Center and click on Cookie Booth. Additional resources can be found at girlscoutsem.org/volunteercookieresources .

After you’ve completed your Cookie Booth, remember to thank your partners at the business location! Your troop could get together to decorate and write thank you cards or record a short video message to share with your partners. There are resources and templates for thank you cards among the Little Brownie resources as well.

GETTING EXTRA COOKIES FOR YOUR COOKIE BOOTH

When your troop places their initial order on Jan. 30, you can add additional packages of cookies as Booth Extras. This is a good practice, especially if your troop intends to host a cookie booth the first weekend or two. We do not recommend using your troop’s initial girl-ordered cookies for your early booths. This is especially important so that customers can get their cookies in a more timely manner, but it also ensures your troop has the cookies they need, should there be inventory issues, to fulfill those pre-orders.

If your troop did not order troop extras during the initial order period, you’ll need to secure additional inventory for your booths. Our Cookie Cupboards are here to serve your needs! Cookie Cupboards are primarily volunteer-run cookie “stores” around the council.

You must place a “Pending Order” in eBudde to schedule a Cookie Cupboard appointment. Drop-ins are not accepted. View cupboard information and instructions.
