Booth Sales

February 8 – March 16Make sure booth sales are recorded in eBudde so that will be downloaded to the Cookie Locator. If a troop is going to another Community for a booth sale they must let the Community Product Sale Coordinator know to make sure there is not a booth sale being hosted at that site already. New this year! Wal-Mart agreement with GSUSA on having Girl Scouts host booth sales at their Wal-Mart and Sam's Club locations. Educate troops not to order booth sale cookies on their initial orders. And if they do they are responsible for payment of these cookies on their initial order ACH sweep and they cannot be returned if booth sales don’t happen or don’t sell all cookies ordered.
