Practice the Girl Scout Law for Cookie Booth Sale Success I will do my best to be: Honest and Fair GSEMA Girl Scout Cookies are $5 per package. The troop may not raise or lower the price. Girl Scouts must sell cookies from their current inventory; expired cookies may not be sold.
Friendly and Helpful Girls, not caregivers or troop leaders, sell Girl Scout Cookies. At a booth sale, Girl Scouts should be attentive to customers. Each cookie booth sale must have at least two girls and two chaperones. If a girl needs to step away from the booth temporarily, she may do so with one of the adults, leaving one adult and one girl at the booth.
Courageous and Strong Girl Scouts should wear their uniform (smock, sash, vest, or membership pin) or a Girl Scout T-shirt at booth sales.
Responsible for What I Say and Do A cookie booth sale should be fun, and Girl Scouts should demonstrate age-appropriate maturity and professionalism. Girls should not run around, yell to customers, or use inappropriate language.
Respect Myself and Others When Girl Scouts share their troop cookie goals with customers, they raise awareness that their cookie sales fund their activities and adventures and builds entrepreneurial skills.
Respect Authority Be kind and considerate to mall security and staff, MBTA staff, and police officers. When any of these authorities tell the booth sale group to move or alter behavior, the girls and adults should follow their instructions. Girl Scout volunteers should prepare by reading COBS guidelines provided by GSEMA.
Use Resources Wisely and Make the World a Better Place Girl Scouts leave a place better than they found it. Do not leave any trash or cardboard at the booth sale site, even if you see recycling is collected on site. GSEMA’s agreements with the MBTA and malls do not include removing Girl Scout trash or cardboard cases. Girl Scout troops that continue to leave trash behind will jeopardize GSEMA’s relationships with the COBS sites. Flatten and bring empty cookie cases home or to the council cookie cupboards for recycling.
Be a Sister to Every Girl Scout Girl Scouts honor their commitment to a booth sale time slot, and are prepared to leave the location in time for the next troop to start at their scheduled time. Please practice kindness if there is a disagreement.
