A few updates on cookie booths!

Booth Requirements and Information:
  • 2 Girl Scouts with 2 non-related adults (ie: 1 parent cannot supervise two scouts and a couple cannot supervise two scouts), we must have each booth approved by Council before setting up (Carrie can enter them into SNAP and they will be approved- they need 72 hours to be able to approve).  
  • Cookies should be picked up from Carrie for booths (if you are working a booth, set up a time with Carrie to pick up the cookies- only one of the two parents working the booth need to worry about this).  If you are working a booth with Carrie, she will have the cookies.
  • During the booth, please keep a tally sheet of each type of cookie and how many of each type were sold.  Nothing fancy is needed, just tick marks on a blank paper are fine.  
  • After the booth, please email Brie with the breakdown of what was sold.  You will also need to get any left over cookies back to Carrie and any money from the booth to Melissa as soon as possible.  I would prefer that the person who signed the cookies out at Carrie's be the person to return left over cookies and get money to Melissa.  (The reason being is the person who signed the cookies out is ultimately responsible for the balance of cookies vs. money)
  • Swipers- The app to use the swiper is Sage Payments.  If you are using the app, you can contact Brie for the user name and password.  I will need to get swipers back after each booth as well (unless you are working another booth the next weekend).  
  • There are no tables at the sites!  This means that you will need to bring a table and chairs, as well as any signs or other attention grabbers for your table when you are there.  Feel free to coordinate with your partner about who can bring tables or chairs and what kind of posters or signage you would like to have up during your booth time.  Most time slots are 3 hours, so bring a chair, and also remember to dress appropriately for the weather.  Ideally, the girls should wear their sashes, but please be sure to dress warmly and be prepared for the cold!

We currently have one openings for the booth on 2/15 at Lowes that is already scheduled if someone else is interested.  Also, there are other opportunities if there is interest.  If you are interested in one of the openings, please email Brie and we will schedule from there.  There is no pressure at all to do additional booths.  I just want to let everyone know that if there is interest, let Brie and Carrie know and we will be happy to schedule additional booths.

Cookie Rally!!

Just a reminder that the Cookie Rally is this Saturday, the 11th of January!  The details are below.  Please be sure to send your scout with the $2 for entrance/ patch.  I am awaiting confirmation from the organizer regarding parking, etc.  As of right now,plan on just dropping your scout off at 9:50am and picking her back up at 12:00pm.  I will wait with any girl who is not picked up right at 12.  If you are running late, just please call or text Brie.  Parents will not be staying for the event, the girls will bring anything home they receive.  If anyone is wanting to carpool, just work that out among each other.  

Please be sure your scout has her sash (with all of her badges) and her pins on for the rally.

Thanks!
Brie
