Learning by Earning
Two things a Girl Scout can look forward to during the school year are the Fall Product Program and the famous Girl Scout Cookie Program. Both voluntary programs develop fantastic skills for members. By participating, troops can have big fun and earn resources to power their adventures throughout the year.
Fall Product Program

September 18 – October 22
Participating in the Fall Product Program is a great way to earn start-up funds for uniforms and unique, amazing experiences for your troop!
Troops earn 20-25% of the proceeds from the Fall Product Program. Girls also earn awesome individual rewards and learn valuable entrepreneurial skills. This program is very easy to complete online and includes lots of great interactive features for girls like creating their own custom-designed avatar.
Cookie Program
January 15 – March 31
By selling cookies, a Girl Scout is part of the largest girl-led business in the world!
The famous Girl Scout Cookie Program is a tradition that troops, girls, and families can all enjoy. Troops earn a profit from all sales, and girls have the opportunity to set goals and earn awesome individual and troop rewards! Troops earn money to fund their troop adventures as well as many programmatic incentives. During door-to-door and in-person sales, girls improve their interpersonal and communication skills. Virtual and video training opportunities are available for adults.

Training Highlights for Adults
Adult volunteers are the driving, thriving, fearless force behind Girl Scouts, so well-informed leaders are a bedrock for troop success.
Training is always available. Sometimes it can come from a workshop led by volunteers or staff. Or it might look like an online, self-paced course. Or it may be a hands-on experience in the great outdoors.
Training volunteers is important to our mission of creating a great experience for every Girl Scout.
Whether they are a new volunteer in their first year or a well-established guru, adults can find the learning they need to power the fun for girls.
