Hello Troop Cookie Managers & Leaders!

The Cookie Booth Lottery for the KC Metro Area opens tomorrow on Monday, January 4 and closes at 11:59 pm on January 11.

Due to Covid-19 and safety precautions from our past retail partners, our options for this year's lottery have been reduced. Currently, that includes no options for Walmart, Sam’s Club and Walmart Neighborhood Markets. The retail partners in this lottery have approved sales at their location with precautions. If your troop is chosen for the location, you will receive the site / our safety steps prior to the scheduled booth.

We are working to add additional locations and will host local lotteries separately from this booth lottery as new options become available. Watch Cookiegrams and Service Unit Facebook pages for communication on these future lotteries.

No Call List: Troops may set up their own locations provided they are not on the no call list. You’ll find the list on page 16 of our Troop Cookie Manager Handbook. DO NOT CALL THESE LOCATIONS, even if they are not in the lottery.

Troops outside of the KC Metro area should consult their Service Unit Product Program Manager for additional direction on possible booths in your area.
