(There are no Step 2 activity checkpoints for this activity.)
Daisy Girl Scouts and their parents or guardians may not participate in cookie or other product sale activities.
When Brownie, Junior, Cadette, and Senior Girl Scouts participate in cookie or other product sales, review and follow these activity checkpoints.
Planning and Supervision
£ Local ordinances related to involvement of children in money-earning projects are observed.
£ Girls are involved in planning and setting goals for the product sale activity.
£ Each girl’s participation is voluntary.
£ Written permission is obtained from a girl’s parent or guardian before the girl participates in a council product sale.
£ Girls may use telephones and e-mail to alert friends and relatives to product sales. Girls may not sell products by posting information and making transactions on a Web site on the Internet.
£ A parent, guardian, or other adult must know each girl’s whereabouts when she is engaged in product sales. The buddy system is used.
Clothing
£ Girls wear a membership pin or a uniform or carry a membership card to identify themselves as Girl Scouts.
£ Order Taking and Selling
£ Girls are familiar with the areas and neighborhoods in which they will sell.
£ Adults accompany Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts.
£ Adults provide supervision and guidance for all age levels.
£ Girls participate in door-to-door sales only during daylight hours, unless accompanied by an adult.
£ When Girl Scouts operate a booth in a store, mall, or other public place, adults must be present at all times.
£ Girls learn and practice personal protection skills as outlined in their handbooks. For example:
§ Use safe pedestrian practices, especially when crossing at busy intersections.
§ Do not enter the home of a stranger.
§ Do not carry large amounts of money. Provision for safeguarding the money is made in advance. Adult support ensures that girls do not carry large sums of money.
£ The troop leader’s or other designated telephone number is given for reorders or complaints; a girl does not give her telephone number.
£ When planning sales booths, contact local authorities for permission and for additional safety and security suggestions and assistance.
