Page 79 of Volunteer Essentials: Plan to have at least two volunteers and one girl at the booth at all times. At least one of those volunteers must be registered with the council and have a background check. From time to time, volunteers might want to take breaks or will have to accompany young girls to the bathroom, so make sure to have a few extra volunteers on hand. Girls make all sales, except in cases where volunteers are helping Daisies handle money. This means that adults should not host cookie booths without girls present and cookies should not be sold in council shops without girls present.

• We encourage councils and 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 young girls based on the standards of your local community, may negatively impact the cookie program experience for girls, and/or may negatively impact our brand in your community. ▫ For additional clarity, girls should not sell in or in front of establishments that they themselves cannot legally patronize. ▫ Additionally, with respect to marijuana dispensaries, we have been steadfastly combating the unauthorized uses of the Girl Scout trademark by the cannabis community, which has been marketing—without our authorization—certain cannabis products under our youth-appealing brand. We are continuing to aggressively fight these unauthorized uses of the Girl Scout brand and hope that

• ur councils and volunteers will join Girl Scouts of the USA’s efforts by

discouraging cookie booth locations at such locations.

• Cookie Booth Agreement 2019:

▫ Dates of Agreement: January 2 –April 30, 2019 ▫ Councils can set up booths for 14 days ▫ Only 3 of those days may be consecutive

• Blackout dates:

▫ January 2-3, 2019 ▫ February 2-4, 2019 ▫ February 12-14, 2019 ▫ March 29-31, 2019 ▫ April 1, 2019

• GSUSA will email out an excel list of all Dunkin Donuts approved,

franchisee locations available to host cookie booths. These locations do NOT need to be contacted. Locations listed in the upcoming excel file have already pre-approved to host Cookie Booths.

▫ Cookie Booths can be hosted on Saturdays & Sundays, 8am-NOON, February 24, 2019 through March 18, 2019. Cookie Booths should be in two hour blocks 8am-10am & 10am-12pm

 February 24th & 25th (National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend)  March 3rd & 4th  March 10th & 11th  March 17 & 18th

▫ Councils and troops do NOT need to contact Dunkin Donut locations to schedule booths, the locations listed in the excel file have been pre- approved for the above dates and times. The Dunkin Donut Managers will the use the GS Cookie Finder App to see if troops will have cookie booths on the specific dates.

• From January 1-April 30, 2019 all JOANN stores are open every day from

10am to 6pm for cookie booth sales. Excluding February 3, 2019.

• The process for councils to set-up booth space:

▫ Councils should reach out to their JOANN district manager to confirm which stores in their area are available for cookie booth sales. ▫ Your council’s district manager contact information can be found in the JOANN welcome box or by emailing girlscouts@JOANN.com ▫ Once your council’s store(s) information is confirmed upload the store (s) information to your council baker software using:

 JOANN Fabrics and Crafts”  Followed by the store location

▫ Troops can begin taking advantage of booth space at JOANN stores starting January 1, 2019. ▫ Also, troops should work with local store for inside or outside booth space.
