Fall Product Program 2019 WEB Feature Story

The 2019 Fall Product Program has passed. We'll see you next year! In the mean time, use the information below for reference. 

     

Fall Product Program

Sale Time: September 24 – December 2, 2019
Theme:  Leap Ahead, Create Your Path

Is your Girl Scout troop interested in a money-earning activity that’s easy, provides start up funds right away, and offers customers a variety of delicious yet inexpensive items to purchase?

The council’s Fall Product Program of selling nuts, candies, magazines, and other items begins September 24. Ashdon Farms/QSP, the licensed Girl Scout vendor, has even prepared a lot of fun activities for Girl Scouts of all ages to enjoy with interactive activities for the girls to use while participating in the Fall Product Program.

Girls earn start-up money for their troop and earn cool patches and other recognitions too! The Fall Product Program differs from the cookie program in that all orders are pre-paid, and there are no booth sales. The troop receives $1 profit of each nut and candy item sold; and 15% of total magazine and gift items sold. Orders may be taken from September 24-October 28. Troops receive orders between November 20-22 to then delivery to their customers. Since the money is pre-collected, the troop receives their proceeds immediately. Recognitions are delivered in December and January. 

The program is for all grade-levels (Daisies-Ambassadors), but participation in the Fall Product Program is entirely voluntary. Participating in a council-sponsored product program teaches essential skills including goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.
