How it Began.
Got Milk. We helped unload all the cookies for
our town

Booth Sales

• Our Troop held Booth Sales at our Local Grocery
  Store.
• Our Good PracticesThat Work
• 1.) We never ask our customers to buy cookies.
  We let the cookies sell themselves.
• 2.) We post a sign with our troop goal.
• 3.) We say Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening
  to customers.
• 4.) We always remember to thank them
• 5.) We supply bags to customers that need
• them.

Phone Sales

• Many of us have regular customers. We keep a list
  on hand so we can contact them when the sale
  begins.
• We package up the cookies when they come in to
  deliver them complete with thank you notes.

Improve the Grounds for Our Meeting Place

• To show our appreciation for allowing us to use
  their facility. We held a clean up day.

Service to Our Local Homeless Shelter

• We began our collection by putting out donation
  boxes, so that people could drop off clothing and
  non-perishable food items.
• We did an inventory of what we had collected and
  visited a local store and purchased additional
  non-perishables that the shelter needed.
• We delivered all items to the shelter.

Our New York Trip

• We started by setting a budget for our trip
• We contacted our local AAA office to get prices
  for transportation.
• We figured out what we would like to do for food
  and what we would like to do while we were in New
  York

11
What We Came Up With

• We submitted our documents to our council for
  approval for our trip.
• We booked our bus tickets through our local AAA
  office.
• We decided to bring a bag lunch to eat on the
  bus, and to find a local diner while we were in
  New York to eat dinner at.
• We wanted to see ground zero, so we decided to go
  site-seeing to different stores while we were
  there
