For Girls
Important Dates
The online portion of the program runs through November 30, allowing extra time for girls to work toward their goals and enhance their financial literacy skills.
Proceeds
Troops earn $1.00 for each nut and candy item sold, and $2.00 for each magazine subscription/gift item. All girls will earn cool patches and cumulative recognitions. Troops that have a combined total of $850.00 in fall product sales will receive an additional $.03 (three cents) per package of cookies sold when they participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. 100% of the proceeds stay within the council to provide programs and services to girls.
Everything is PAWsome when girls participate in the 2018 Fall Product Program!
Along with cool, new patches this year, we're excited to introduce the Fall and Cookie Program "Go Getter" patch! This exclusive personalized patch can be earned by girls who achieve target goals in both the Fall Product Program and Cookie Program!
The Fall Product Program helps girls learn and develop skills that last a lifetime - helping them SPEAK UP and LEAD the WAY in the world around them. By participating in the program, girls have the chance to help fund troop activities, community service projects, and even books and uniforms.
The Fall Product Program provides an important ingredient for girl leadership by developing five skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. This "Family and Friends" sale is conducted in person, as well as online through a secure program.
We are excited to announce new items added to our 2018 Nut
& Candy/ Magazines/Gift Items, including stainless steel
tumblers, and 200+ college and NEW Tervis tumblers, along
with organic
veggies and NEW Premium Candle
jars and Girl Scout series candles. These are in addition to our
traditional magazine subscriptions (new and renewals), and our very
popular nuts
and candies
. No booth sales are allowed. The decision to
participate in the Fall Product Program should be made by the girls
and their parents/guardians.

Monthly JIT newsletters are sent out to all Fall Product Chairs in October, November and December. The JIT was very popular during the Cookie Program, providing “must know” information in mere minutes!
Troop and Girl Dashboard Access!
Girls can customize their own Service Dog mascot on the UNIFY Online Program. Returning this year, girls can “unlock” more accessories by sending emails, adding photo/images, sending texts and reaching a $100 in online sales.
Troop Fall Product Chairs can create their own MyPatchCreationTM and earn their own patch with $500 in total online troop sales. Periodically check in on your girls via the dashboard and encourage them throughout the program!
