Financial Literacy Product Program

Fall Product Program

The 2023 theme for our Fall Program now matches our Cookie Sale theme which is Own Your Magic. The mascot for fall is the Ocelot. The Fall Product Program gives girls and troops the opportunity to sell magazine subscriptions (new and renewals), and very popular nuts and candies. Newly added to our online sales this year is Bark Box for pets as well as the ever popular Tervis Tumblers! We are very excited to include these into our lineup of products that help girls earn startup proceeds for their troop. This “friends and family sale” is conducted both face-to-face and via the internet through a secure e-commerce site.

As part of the Fall Product Program, Girl Scouts develop e-commerce skills and leverage technology to help them learn and earn as they go. They 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 15% proceeds plan with patches and recognitions or opt to receive 18% in proceeds and patches, in lieu of recognitions. Daisy and Brownie troops receive 15% with all patches and recognitions.

Girl Scout Cookie Program

The 2024 Girl Scout Cookie Program theme is Own Your Magic with the axolotl as our mascot. By focusing on 5 key skills: goalsetting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics, the program is designed to help girls grow into confident leaders. 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 tiered proceed plan based on their boxes sold-per-girl average. The more troops sell, the more they earn. In addition to the tiered proceed plan, each Girl Scout is eligible to earn awesome recognitions based on overall sales. Girl Scouts earn cool patches for Walkabout Week, Operation Cookie Drop, and selling online through the brand-new Digital Cookie platform. They are also eligible to earn additional rewards such as themed t-shirts and hoodies, stuffed animals, and even items like computers, cameras, camping equipment and admission to various theme parks, museums and other destinations!
