[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]For cookie sales as Daises start out with the policy that you are not doing a booth sale.  The girls can sell to family and friends and orders are due by xx date.  This will keep things much easier. [/b] Also, the leader should NOT be in charge of cookie sales.  Stand firm on that.  If the troop is going to sell cookies than another parent needs to step up, get registered and go through the training.  BEFORE you sell cookies the troop needs to figure out what they will do with the profit.  Something fun for the girls?  help someone else? either is fine and you won't have a ton of $$ the first year but the girls should be part of the decision.

Every parent must sign up to help at a meeting and bring the snack.

Find the leaders of the older troops at you school (grades 5-8).  Ask the leaders about having 3 helpers at every meeting.  The older girls need the leadership hours and the little girls love the older girls. These older girls can:
run the opening flag ceremony (do this at every meeting)
sing songs with the girls
help with crafts and games
take girls to the bathroom

Look up how to do a KAPER CHART.  This is basically a job list.  Daisy girls want to all have a job at the meeting.  There are tons of ways to rotate the jobs so everyone gets a turn.[/quote]

To each their own. Our troop ONLY did booth sales. Personally I would rather spend 3 hours at a booth and be done with it, rather than badger my friends and family about cookies, collect money, etc.[/quote]
