2026 Cookie Booth Playbook

• Product Programs will share a weekly list of open Cookie Booth slots with troops. Troop Cookie volunteers can forward this list to their troop, and a Girl Scout can let their troop Cookie volunteer know if there is a slot they want to reserve. The troop Cookie volunteer must then go into eBudde to reserve it. A list of booth openings will be posted at girlscoutsem.org/forcookiesellers each week. • If a Girl Scout requests a Cookie Booth reservation, then they must cancel, they must let the troop Cookie volunteer know so the Cookie Booth can be released in eBudde. • Only Girl Scout Cookies may be sold at Cookie Booths and may only be sold at the council’s retail price of $6. • Review the Cookie Booth Essentials document for additional Cookie Booth information, including preparing for the Cookie Booth, Cookie Booth etiquette, finances and inventory. Handling Cookie Inventory for Individual Booths at the Troop Level • Our general recommendation is that troops give, not lend, cookies to a Girl Scout for an individual booth. The Cookies then become the Girl Scout’s responsibility to sell and pay the troop. • It is at the troop’s discretion to allow more inventory flexibility, such as using the troop’s Cookies and returning what isn’t sold by a certain date so the troop can use the Cookies for other Cookie Booths or orders. • For your convenience, we’ve included a sample Troop Cookie Checkout Agreement, which you can customize to your situation, in the Appendix. Recording Individual Booth Cookies: • If the booth was scheduled through eBudde: Click the Record Sale button next to the booth in the Booths section, then put in the number of cookies the troop gave to the Girl Scout for the booth, Distribute to just that Girl Scout. • If the booth isn’t in eBudde: Do a +Order on the Girl Orders tab to move the cookie inventory to the Girl Scout from the troop’s inventory. • If the booth included Girl Scouts in more than one troop, be sure to work with the other troop’s volunteer to appropriately transfer any packages as needed so all troops have the inventory to assign to each Girl Scout.
