COOKIE BOOTHS
Troop 3480’s girls are going hone their business skills by experiencing what it’s like to set up a Cookie Booth, manage customer orders in real-time and handle money. We are planning to have several Cookie Booths after Jummah at area masjids.

…For the 1.5 million or so girls who do the selling, it [Girl Scout Cookies] also represents an opportunity. They handle more money than they might have ever seen in one place, build sales skills long before they have their first part-time jobs and earn prizes — commissions, in effect — that their parents might not be able to afford or wouldn’t buy for them.

As Saalamu Alaikum,
Troop 3480 will have Girl Scout Cookie Booths at area masajid this February and March. We’re going to “Bling Our Booths” with attractive signs so everyone knows where to get their cookies. Be creative! Make it outstanding! Sisters have the option of working together if they want. Girls should bring their sign to the next troop meeting on Friday, February 8, 2013. Five signs will be picked to represent Troop 3480 at the Cookie Booths.
