The Girl Scout Council of the Southern Appalachians will continue its “Bling My Booth” contest in 2013. Each year, girls go all-out to decorate their cookie booths with special themes to attract customers and increase sales. Photos of decorated booths are posted in a photo gallery on our website.
Theme:
For the 2013, the Bling My Booth theme is: What Can a Girl Do?
Entering:
Your troop may submit one digital photo of your cookie booth, along with your troop number, to be posted on our website. The photo must be of good quality. Only one photo per troop is allowed, and the photo may not be digitally altered in any way. (For example, a collage is not acceptable.) Submit your photos to eventphotos@girlscoutcsa.org.
Prizes:
Every participating girl will receive a “Bling My Booth” patch. One troop will be drawn at random to receive 10 tickets to Dollywood.
Dates:
Submit photos between March 2 and March 24. The drawing for the Dollywood tickets will be held after March 24.
The Big Rules:
Every troop that registers for a cookie booth slot deserves their full amount of time for maximum sales. In the past, we have had customers purchasing from both girls who are at booth locations during their assigned time and girls who are setting or taking down blinged booths. Girls may only sell cookies during their assigned booth time block.
The photo submitted of a blinged booth must be at an approved booth location, in public view, and not set up only for the purpose of taking the picture inside a home or office, etc. Show us interacting with your customers or with store employees, etc. Have fun with your photos!
All other booth sales guidelines printed in the troop/parent Cookie Program Guide must be followed for booths to qualify for entry.
A Reminder:
Cookie season is the time of year when our movement is in the public eye significantly. Please work with your girls to keep blinged booths positive, girl-led, and a reflection of the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
