This Year's Theme: Ready to Explore!

About the Program

Fall Product Program gives Troops a chance to earn startup money for the new membership year and teach Girl Scouts key business skills to prepare them for the annual Cookie Program.

Troops can use funds they earn to enjoy new and exciting opportunities right away!

This "Family and Friends" sale is conducted 100% online through a secure online site and program.

Girl Scouts experience running their first online business by taking all payments online, while customers have an option to choose whether they will have product shipped directly to their home or a Girl Scout will deliver product to their home. If a customer orders online to have product shipped directly to their homes, they can order any item available online. If a customer chooses Girl Scout delivery, they will have a limited number of items to choose from for in-person delivery.

No booth sales are allowed.

The decision to participate in the Fall Product Program should be made by the individual Girl Scout and her family.
