Your role at training is to make sure that girls have the information they need to have a safe, fun and productive selling experience.
Invite parents and guardians in advance.
Ask the girls to help make invitations as
a fun activity.
Ask the girls to pass out name tags and a get
folks to sign in as they arrive. They can also
help serve refreshments.
Explain the troop's plans, goals and how
everyone benefits.
Ask family adults to help with snacks or games. People with assigned tasks are more likely to attend.
Review cookie materials. Distribute order cards and other forms.
Discuss troop proceeds and your council's girl recognition program.
Ask girls to describe each Girl Scout Cookie. Use the order card to show what each variety looks like.
Announce important dates to remember, procedures for picking up cookies and handling money, and who to call for help.
Emphasize the importance of safe selling.
Answer questions and let girls and their parents/guardians know whom to contact if they think of more questions later. Thank everyone for coming!
