It’s time for the Fall Product Program! September 18 – November 14 Our Fall Product Program is about to start! Don’t miss out on your daughter’s chance to participate in the Fall Product Program. Beginning September 18, go to www.gsnutsandmags.com/gssjc or click on the link from the council website. Follow the instructions in the 2021 Fall Product Family Guide to get your Girl Scout set up on the system. Please make sure to get online and help your Girl Scout create her Me2™ (an avatar customized to resemble herself). Send emails through the site to friends and family inviting them to shop online and bask in our delicious treats. Help your Girl Scout be successful at reaching her personal and troop goals. It’s a fantastic Sell 55+ items to earn me! way to earn funds for the troop. Troops typically earn an average of about $800. Each troop will be selling nuts and candy from Ashdon Farms and magazine subscriptions from M2 Media. To get started, contact the troop’s fall product manager to get an order card. If your Girl Scout cannot begin on September 18, she may participate in the program anytime before November 14. Your Girl Scout’s Me2™ avatar will be part of her troop’s online photo. By sending 18+ emails and selling 3+ magazines and 35+ Nut/chocolate items during the fall program, she will earn a personalized patch with her name and Me2™ on it. She can choose a harbor view or research expedition for the background of her patch. She can also choose to be in a pink or green snowsuit. Plus, when she sells 250+ packages in the 2022 Cookie Program she will qualify for the special Cookie Crossover patch. Don’t miss out on all the fun!
