Girl Scouts raise start-up money for their troop and earn cool patches and other recognitions too! You can participate by taking orders in-person from customers via your order card and/or through the online program by sending email invites to your customers. The program is for all grade-levels (Daisies-Ambassadors) and can be done within a troop or as an individual Girl Scout. Participating in a council-sponsored product program teaches essential skills including goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.
