Direct and booth sales are two primary ways Girl Scouts sell cookies in person: booth sales involve setting up a table at a public location like a storefront, while direct sales involve selling cookies immediately to customers, bypassing a pre-order process. Both are during the period of time Girl Scouts sell cookies directly from their inventory, rather than ahead of time using an order card. Girls can also continue to sell digitally during the Direct Sale period.
The most popular in-hand selling method is Cookie Booths, but there are plenty of other ways to sell cookies such as Drive-Thrus, walkabouts, Milk and Cookies breaks, etc.
