How to Decorate a Girl Scout Cookie Booth Table
Don't just sell Girl Scout cookies door-to-door or among acquaintances. Sell Girl Scout cookies at a cookie booth in a public location and you will see an increase in sales and revenue for your Girl Scout troop. However, as with any sales enterprise, you will need to entice people to come over and take a look at your wares. A creatively-decorated cookie booth will catch the eye of the casual passerby. Get the troop members involved in the decorating process so that they participate in the cookie booth activity every step of the way.

Draw cookie- or Girl Scout-inspired designs on a disposable undecorated tablecloth. Hand-drawn art will demonstrate that the Girl Scouts themselves worked to design the booth.

2
Glue troop activity photographs onto a poster board and make a collage. Write, "Cookie Sales Fund Our Creativity and Growth" across the top of the poster. Place the poster on a wall or surface behind you at the booth or lay the poster in front of the booth.

Draw the outline of a thermometer or a race track on poster board. At the top of the thermometer or at the end of the race track, write down the number of boxes you would like to sell as well as the activity you hope to do or the troop item you want to buy with the proceeds. Fill in the thermometer or move a cut-out of a stick figure or toy car across the race track as you get closer to the goal. Display the poster in front of or behind your booth.

Stack the cookie boxes in creative shapes on and around the booth. The pyramid shape, in which you add one fewer box to each row as you reach the top of the pyramid, is simple and attention-getting.

Tips & Warnings
Purchase one box of each type of cookie yourself and put pieces of each type of cookie on a sample tray. Arrange the sample tray in the middle of the booth and let potential customers sample whichever cookies they may buy.
Don't go overboard with the decorations. Don't spend more on decorating than you hope to make by selling cookies.
