Financial Literacy During the 2020-2021 membership year, girls and troops will have the opportunity to participate in two council-sponsored, money-earning activities.
2020 Fall Product Program
2021 Cookie Program
The Fall Product Program gives girls and troops the opportunity to sell magazine subscriptions (new and renewals) and very popular nuts and candies to earn quick and easy startup money for their troop. This “friends & family sale� is conducted both face-to-face and via the internet through a secure program.
The 2021 Girl Scout Cookie Program theme is Be Amazing, with the honeybee as our mascot. Focusing on the 5 Skills, the program is designed to help girls grow into leaders of courage, confidence, and character while learning five valuable life skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.
As part of the Fall Product Program, girls develop e-commerce skills and leverage technology to help them learn and earn as they go. Girls can create their own Fall Product Program digital avatar and even earn a patch featuring the avatar they designed. Girl Scout Junior, Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador troops can choose the 10% proceeds plan with patches and recognitions or opt to receive 15% in proceeds and patches, in lieu of recognitions.
All Girl Scout troops earn proceeds for participating in the Cookie Program, which can be used to fund troop adventures such as travel, community service projects, councilsponsored activities, and much more. Troops earn proceeds on a scaled proceed plan based on their box-per-girl average. The more troops sell, the more they earn.
