We can't wait to see what you accomplish next year!
Selling Girl Scout Cookies® is one of the most iconic activities Girl Scouts engage in. When the resources for next year are ready, you'll find them on this page!
As participants in the Girl Scout Cookie Program®—the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world—Girl Scouts gain five skills as they build their business smarts, earn money for activities they choose, and prepare for amazing adventures that last a lifetime.
When you sell Girl Scout Cookies, you're doing more than helping your customers stock up on delicious treats. You're powering life-changing programs, experiences, and learning for yourself and your troop.
Get the scoop on Exploremores™ 
Exploremores™ - the latest in Girl Scout Cookies! These rocky road ice cream-inspired sandwich cookies—filled with the delicious flavors of chocolate, marshmallow, and toasted almond-flavored crème—reflect the spirit of exploration at the heart of every Girl Scout. From a curious kindergartener, amazed by jellyfish at the local aquarium, to a middle schooler finding the courage to go on her first overnight trip with her troop, Girl Scouts know the road to discovery starts with exploration.
Right now, Girl Scouts all over the world are exploring who they are, what they can do, and all they can become. Your purchase helps them make the world a better place—one box of cookies at a time.

Securing Cookie Booths
Booths help girls learn teamwork, goal setting, and business skills. Building relationships and securing permission to use locations is managed by GSSNV Council and SUECs.
- We ask that troops do not reach out to store managers directly.
- TPCs need to coordinate with SUECs if they would like to help secure booths for ALL troops.
- Booths must be approved and entered in Smart Cookie for insurance purposes.
- Girls’ safety always comes first. For that reason, we can’t approve locations that aren’t appropriate or secure for them (such as dirt lots, marijuana dispensaries, or adult entertainment venues).
- Booths should only be secured at locations that the girls can legally patronize themselves.
- Booths must follow staffing and operating hours guidelines.
Drive-Thru Booths
Drive-thru cookie booths in approved parking lots were created for girls to practice social distancing. They still remain an effective way to sell cookies. These council-facilitated locations are pre-approved by property management and will be available to reserve in Smart Cookie.
Booths at Your Own Business
If a TPC, troop leader, or caregiver OWNS their own business (not a relative’s or friend’s), they may host a cookie booth at that location. A Booth Authorization Form must be submitted to your SUEC. Business ownership does not allow you to set your own booth dates or hours. The booth may be used exclusively by the troop but MUST be open to all girls in the troop.
Cooperating with Businesses
Please follow all guidelines from store management (found in the booth note in Smart Cookie) and GSSNV. This helps maintain strong relationships with our partners and ensures we can return next season. Girls are representing Girl Scouts at these booths and should also be on their best behavior.
Booth Hours (based on store guidelines)
Mon-Fri: 1:00 PM-8:00 PM
Sat-Sun: 8:00 AM-8:00 PM
Booth Staffing
- Booth supervision: At least 2 adults and 2 Girl Scouts (maximum 4 girls per door) must be present at all times.
- Adult requirements: One adult must be registered, cookie-trained, and have a clear background check; they can train the second adult, who may be a caregiver or any responsible adult over 18.
- Scheduling: Confirm caregivers’ availability before selecting booths and share a sign-up sheet afterward.
- Booth setup: Use a booth kit (tablecloth, posters, etc.) for every booth and keep 2–4 kits ready. Display your troop number and fundraising goal prominently.
- Cadettes, Seniors, Ambassadors: Maximum 2 girls per trained adult. No exceptions.
- Juliettes: Can participate in 2:1 booths if they meet the level and adult requirements.
- Attire: Girls and adults must wear identifying Girl Scout attire.
- Multi-level troops: 1:1 or 2:1 booths are allowed for girls grades 6–12 only.
- Clean up after your booth. Girl Scouts always “Leave No Trace.”
Setting Up and Closing Down
- Start and end your booth on time.
- Begin closing about 10 minutes before your end time.
- Respect other troops’ schedules. Finish the sale you’re on, but any additional sales belong to the next troop.
- Sale credits only apply to your scheduled slot.
- Once your time is up, clear the booth area so the next troop can set up, and continue packing supplies away from the booth.
During Your Booth
- Bring your own table, display your cookies with posters, banners, and anything that makes your booth shine. Make it fun!
- No cookie samples. This keeps girls safe and protects store partnerships.
- Girls and adults should wear Girl Scout attire (vest, sash, or troop t-shirt) and their membership pin. Avoid overly casual or revealing clothing to represent GSSNV positively.
- Money safety: Never leave cash or valuables unattended. If there’s a theft, move to a safe place and contact council. Call the emergency phone number, 702-971-1402.
- Leave siblings, pets, and non-registered girls at home.
- Girls should take breaks away from the booth and never eat there.
- Follow store rules: Don’t block entrances/exits and approach customers respectfully as the exit the store.
- Clean up: Take all trash and empty boxes with you. Girl Scouts Leave No Trace!
