8. Girl Guide Cookies
Why do Brownies sell Girl Guide cookies and how is the money raised used by your unit?
B. Set unit goals for the cookie campaign. At the end of the cookie campaign, discuss how well you met your sales goals.
A. Choose an activity, such as a cookout, that your Brownie unit would enjoy doing. Plan how much it will cost and how the unit will get there. Discuss how cookie sales will help pay for the activity.

6:20 – 6:35 pm

Create a poster, newspaper ad, or radio, or television commercial to promote Girl Guide cookies.
Include in the presentation:
- How the cookies taste, the ingredients and how much they cost
- What your unit does with the money it raises.

Find out how to be a safe cookie seller.
- 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.
