No. To maintain good relationships with property managers, stores and to be fair, walkabouts are only allowed in non-commercial areas. All booth sales must be coordinated through the council, including driveway booths.
Join the 2023 Walkabout March 3-5
What is a Walkabout?
A Girl Scout(s) or Girl Scout troop
walks the neighborhood selling cookies door-to-door in a residential
area with adult supervision. They also visit cookie customers they may
have missed or those who might need to restock their favorites!
Who can resist our esteemed sweet treats when a Girl Scout is at their front door with their favorite cookies?! Not us! Door-to-door sales remain one of the most effective ways to sell cookies. In a recent national study, 78% of those customers who were not approached during a cookie sale stated they would have purchased two to four boxes if asked.
Walkabout Patches are available for those that participate in the GSSJC Council shops!
