This registration is ONLY for ONE Troop Leader per troop to reserve a space for their Girl Scouts to sell items at Yuma’s Winter Market
Attention: Brownies – Ambassadors.
Flex your entrepreneurial muscles and earn some troop funds at our first Yuma Winter Market! Sell your homemade creations to kick start your money earning before cookie season. The Winter Market will take place at this year’s Yuma Cookie Rally, which means there will be many potential customers! Participants will arrive at the Cookie Rally location before Cookie Rally begins, set up their booth(s), sell their creations, and have a chance to enjoy all the Cookie Rally excitement in shifts.
To participate as a Winter Market vendor, the troop is required to have participated in most recent cookie AND fall product programs. No food can be sold at Winter Market.
The person registering here will be the only one who needs to sign up, and must be an adult volunteer willing to serve as the “booth host”. This person will be the troop’s official representative. After registering and completing your MEA form (https://girlscoutssoaz.jotform.com/262865425183059), you will be sent a questionnaire to indicate the total number of Girl Scouts and additional adult volunteers who will be attending.
There can be no less than two Girl Scouts and two registered volunteers hosting a booth.
Don’t forget to fill out the council Money Earning Activity Form (https://girlscoutssoaz.jotform.com/262865425183059) for approval for your Money Earning at Winter Market.
Please contact Alyssa Kervran at akervran@girlscoutssoaz.org with questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my troop participate if we did not do product programs this year?
No. Troops must have participated in both the most recent cookie and fall product programs.
Where do we park?
You will park your vehicles in the general Cookie Rally parking area. Unloading will be allowed in the front, but please ensure your vehicle is moved to a parking space in a timely manner and never left unattended.
What should we price our items at?
Pricing is up to your Girl Scouts. Encourage them to consider cost of materials and do market research.
How many items should we make?
Attendance for Yuma Cookie Rally is estimated at 100-300 guests, but not everyone will make a purchase. Troops should make the amount that feels manageable for them.
Can a non-registered family member attend just to “help”?
No. All individuals participating must be registered Girl Scouts/volunteers.
