2023 Troop Cookie Manager 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/form 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. It’s important to submit any troop-scheduled booths in eBudde so the booth may be found in the national cookie finder; and so your troop can easily give credit for booth sales to individual Girl Scouts in eBudde. Plus, this will also allow the Girl Scout to receive the booth sales patch charm when recorded properly.

After you confirm your troop-scheduled booth with a business, please report that booth in eBudde so we can help customers find you.

Remember, all booth sales should be in girl-appropriate areas. Girl Scout guidance is that booths should not be held in locations a girl cannot legally patronize. This includes dispensaries, liquor stores, bars, etc.

In the Booth Sales tab, click Add/Edit a Troop Booth. Click the blue +Add button. Enter the booth details, then click Save. To ensure that information is clearly reflected in the Girl Scouts USA Cookie Booth Finder, please double check your submission before clicking Submit to ensure that the address and business name are listed correctly. The system will display a confirmation window. Your request is in a pending status until reviewed by Product Programs staff. 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.

Recording Booth Sales in eBudde

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 charm, 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.

See instructions for recording booth sales.

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