Polling locations would make a great booth spot; however, troops are welcome to set up booth sales at other locations throughout their communities. Booths may only be set up at local businesses and not large-box retail stores.
Large box retail stores are defined as a physically large retail establishment, usually part of a national chain, that occupies a large, box-like building. Walmart, Giant Eagle, Sam's Club, Costco, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. would be some examples. If you are not sure about a location, please reach out for clarification.
This program is conducted at the troop level, so there isn't a site location approval process.
We encourage volunteers to use their best judgment in setting up cookie booths in locations that will be open, accessible, and safe for all girls and potential customers.
- Certain locations may be inappropriate for girls based on the standards of the local community, may negatively impact the cookie program experience for girls, and/or may negatively impact the Girl Scout Cookie brand in the community.
- For additional clarity, girls should NOT sell in front of establishments that they themselves cannot legally patronize.
