2022 Fall Product Program - Troop Fall Product Manager FAQ

 What is the Fall Product Program?

Our Fall Product Program allows girls to safely run their own online business while enhancing their entrepreneurial skills which are an essential part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. We make it easy for your family and friends to support your Girl Scout and her troop while getting a head start on holiday shopping. Troops can participate completely online or in-person, and customers have the opportunity to purchase nuts, candy, magazines and more.

Why participate in the Fall Product Program?

This program is an integral part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience and is a financial literacy program where girls gain experience with the 5 Entrepreneurial Skills: people skills, money management, business ethics, goal setting and decision making.  Girls practice these skills while earning rewards and funds for their troop while providing essential funds to Council programs.  Did you know this program provides vital financial assistance to girls across our Council and supports our very own Girl Scout Camps in our local area? Participation is important because this program is designed to prepare our girls and troops for success in the Girl Scout Cookie Program.

Each participating girl can create their own custom avatar that looks just like them! They also can earn personalized patches that feature their custom avatar: a Fall Product Personalized Patch and a Cookie Crossover Patch. How cool is that?

Rewards & Proceeds

Every girl that participates in the Fall Product Program has the opportunity to earn fabulous rewards. Each participating troop has the opportunity to kickstart their Girl Scout funds used for supplies, activities and community service projects.  These troops receive 15% for every item sold in the Fall Product Program.

Opt-out of Rewards

Older-girl troops (Cadette, Seniors, and Ambassadors) may choose to opt-out of individual girl rewards. Girls will receive patches, but none of the other rewards. Opt-out troops will receive an extra 5% in proceeds.

Products

A variety of products may be purchased online or in-person from any participating Girl Scout. Your favorites are all there including Chocolate Covered Raisins, Pecan Supremes, Fruit Slices and this year’s collectible Girl Scout Tin.  Customers may also purchase magazines from hundreds of selections!  All of these items make perfect gifts for your family, friends or teachers.

Care to Share

Care to Share is our Gift of Caring program where your customers may purchase a treat which will be donated to our local Hometown Heroes – local first responders, veterans, active military and front-line workers fighting COVID-19. They really appreciate your donations! Girls will earn a Care to Share Patch for selling 5 items for the Care to Share program and troops will still receive proceeds on your donations.
