[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cookie sales and fall product sales are not mandatory. I have always made it clear to our families that participation is optional.

I believe participation in fall product sales and 100% participation in cookie sales ARE required if your troop wants to be an honor troop, but I haven't checked the requirements recently. Fall product sales are also a requirement if your troop wants to do additional fundraising. We wanted to raise funds to support another group last year, so I checked that box by ordering a box of candy online and crediting it to my daughter.[/quote]

I'm a long time GS leader. We get 100% participation in cookie sales by doing two things: 1) holding a cookie booth during a regularly scheduled meeting time and 2) having all the girls participate in some way even if it is planning the locations of the cookie booths, making signs and decorations for the booth, drafting marketing emails that can be sent during the sale, etc. Even if a couple girls do not actually have individual sales, everyone participates the overall sale in some way.
