Safety First

1. Do not let your child sell door-to-door alone. Wisconsin state law requires that children under age 9 must be supervised by a person 16 or older when selling or delivering a product.
2. Girl Scout cookies may NOT be sold over the Internet! This includes sites such as Ebay or personal or troop Web pages. Emails to friends and family members are okay.
3. Never let your child enter another person’s home. All order taking and cookie deliveries should be made at the door.
4. Do not let your child carry large sums of money. (This also pertains to turning in the money - DO NOT send money, cash or checks, to school with your child.)
5. Remind her to wear her Girl Scout uniform, pin or something to identify her as a Girl Scout.
6. Girls should be prepared to give a designated adult name and phone number when asked and not give their own phone numbers, addresses or last names to customers.
7. Always sell during daylight and with another person. Brownie Girl Scouts should be accompanied by an adult. Junior Girl Scouts can sell with the buddy system.
