News & Updates
Ready, Set, Explore: Turn the Fall Product Program into your Girl Scout Adventure!
What could your Girl Scout do with the money she earns through the Fall Product Program? Maybe her troop is dreaming about an overnight adventure, a special badge workshop, a community service project, or something completely new. Fall Product is a great opportunity for girls to start turning those ideas into plans!
Before sales begin, encourage your Girl Scout and her troop to set a goal together. When girls know what they're working toward, every order has a purpose, and they get to practice important skills like goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skills, and business ethics along the way.
This year, girls can participate in a way that works for them. They can connect with customers in person or use their personalized online storefront to reach friends and family. The online storefront option makes selling a breeze. Once launch emails arrive on opening day, girls can follow the link to get started, build their online storefront, and begin selling fall products to friends and family by digitally sharing their link and QR code.
And there’s even more fun waiting along the trail! Girls can work toward exciting rewards throughout the program while helping their troops earn proceeds to kick-start their Girl Scout year.
Mark your calendar: Fall Product begins September 25 and runs through October 26. Talk with your Girl Scout now about what she wants to accomplish this season and get ready to explore!
NEW: Hop-ortunity Knocks Patch Program
Hop in—it’s going to be a pouch-full of fun! From joeys to giant leaps, you’ll discover all kinds of roomazing facts about kangaroos while learning how to help protect wildlife and their habitats.
