- Don’t go into a stranger’s house.
- Don’t go up to a parked car.
- Make sure you always sell cookies with a buddy and an adult, such as a parent, guardian or leader, supervising.
- Don’t criss-cross the road. Sell on one side of the street, cross where it is safe and sell on the other.
- Look both ways when crossing the street.
- Never sell to people in cars.
- Never carry large amounts of money. Return home frequently to deposit money collected.
- Carry money in cookie dough envelopes, not in your pockets.
- Only give your first name and never your address or phone number when selling.
- Sell only in neighbourhoods and areas familiar to you.
- Make sure you know the name and phone number of someone to call in case of an emergency.
- If you must sell when it is dark, wear bright colours and carry a flashlight. If you can, sell door-to-door during daylight hours only.
