Drive-Thru Booths “Girl Scout Cookies®, coming right up!”

Now Girl Scout Cookie™ lovers don’t have to leave their cars to enjoy their favorite delights.

When troops set up outdoor cookie booths in a parking lot (with permission from nearby

businesses), Girl Scouts have a road map to success. Customers drive up—the cookies

come out—happy cookie lovers drive off!

Girls can determine a socially distant way to run their drive-thru booth using order

station boxes and technology available through the Digital Cookie® Mobile App.

Digital Cookie is a tool that can be used creatively for low-contact transactions. Optical

character recognition (OCR) in the mobile app allows girls to receive credit card payments

using this three-step process, with no need to touch the customer’s card:

1. The customer places their card in the order station box or sales table.

2. Girls scan the card to collect payment.

3. Girls back away from table to allow customers to retrieve their card.

Speedy downloads to get your troop headed in the right direction Signs to show the way Direct traffic with signs that say ‘go here’ and ‘stop there’ and ‘stay six feet apart’.

Simplify every step Menu boards to help customers quickly place their order.

Mask up and make it fashion Just because face masks are required doesn’t mean they can’t be fun! Girls can bring their creative vision to life with solid-color face masks of their choice*, brightly colored fabric pens and a few ribbons.

*Volunteers can help girls choose fabric face masks from retailers. For guidance on how to select and wear masks, visit cdc.gov.

Steps

Girl Scout Cookie™ ActivityFace Mask Decoration

Personalize your face masks to celebrate Girl Scout Cookie Season! Whether it’s at a drive- thru or pop-up cookie booth, you can show your love for Girl Scout Cookies with these add-on mask decorations. Use what you have and up-cycle.

Print shape templates on 8.5″x11″ printer paper or draw your own shapes. Cut out pieces and trace them on felt or fabric. Cut out and sew, rather than glue, them on your face mask.

1

Use non-toxic fabric markers to write your name or other message on your mask. Mask can be washed before use for added safety.

Page 1 of 1

Tie ribbons, feathers and/or beaded string to the straps of your mask being sure they don’t weigh down the straps and compromise the effectiveness of the mask. Remember to think of safety first.

Pop-Up Booths “Here today, gone this afternoon!”

Act fast—pop-up shopping is exciting, but it’s gone in a flash. (And that’s one of the

reasons they’re so POPular.) No longer just for big-name brands and fashion designers,

pop-up Girl Scout Cookie™ booths styled after these temporary retail sites let girls put a

delicious twist on the traditional cookie booth.

For low-contact transactions at pop-up cookie booths, girls and volunteers can use the

Digital Cookie® Mobile App to receive credit card payments while maintaining distance

from customers. See guidelines for drive-thru booths on page 3.

Girls can set up shop at a place within their network—with permission, of course! Find

an area that is off-limits to the general public and only accessible to people the girls or

their parent/guardian know. For more guidelines, ask your council about Little Brownie’s

Workplace and Network Resources Tip Sheet.

Resources to help girls reach their goalsTasteful topics to get them talking Recipe cards and cute decorated banners are super Instagrammable!

Savvy swag for the entrepreneur Show some marketing moxie with IRL (in real life) and virtual self-promotion for the cookie crew.

Smart money management Girls can easily tend to business with inventory sheets, menu boards and more.

Artists and makers unite!• Easy-to-decorate flag banners give pop-up

cookie booths retail flair. Just print, decorate and hang near the cookies.

• Girls create their own hype crew with cookie-branded sandwich boards they can wear.

• Showing off their fave craft or artwork let girls show how they shine as Girl Scout cookie entrepreneurs.

Ready in 3 hrs. Makes 11 servings

Lemon-Ups® Tart

What You Need:

1. Make the Crust: Preheat oven to 475°. Generously grease and flour 9” round cake pan. In a mixing bowl cut shortening into flour and salt until it resembles small peas. Sprinkle in water 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until the pastry comes clean off the sides of the bowl. On lightly floured surface, roll dough out to a 12” circle. Put into cake pan, pressing dough into bottom and up two thirds the side of pan. With a fork, prick the bottom and sides of the dough. Bake 8-10 minutes or until light brown; cool completely and remove from pan.

2. Icing Layer:Add powdered sugar, egg whites and cream of tarter to a mixing bowl. Beat until thick and mixture holds a peak. This should take 7-10 minutes. Spread half of this icing evenly in bottom of cooled prepared crust. Cover remaining icing with plastic wrap to keep soft for later.

3. Prepare Lemon Filling:Prepare a simple double boiler: simmer a few inches of water in a saucepan or pot. Whisk together in a glass or metal mixing bowl sugar, eggs, butter, lemon zest and lemon juice. Gently place bowl over the simmering water whisking constantly until thickened, about 10 minutes. Strain out lemon zest. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

4. Layer and Decorate:Pour cooled lemon filling evenly over icing layer on prepared crust. Use remaining icing to attach Lemon-Ups® cookies to outside of tart and decorate. Reserve one cookie for the center. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
