Booth Sales

A booth sale is when the troops goes to various locations to sell cookies to the public. Ms. Tarah is our Cookie Booth Sale Coordinator and has set up several sales. Some of them are listed below but more are to come. Girls who participate in the booth sales, can earn higher levels of prizes and earn a booth sale patch. You don't have to be there the entire sale; the usual shift is 2 hours. If you would like to participate in one of the booth sales let Ms. Tarah know.

REMIND
These days, everyone checks their text message more than they check their emails. As a result, we've started using a new app to send text blasts to parents. We'll be using it for reminders of trips, meetings and all other short messages. Each troop has it's own account, so if you have more than 1 child, you'll want to join more than 1 group. To join, just text the code for your daughter's troop to 81010
