This Fall, Girl Scouts Can Fund Adventures and Earn Fun Rewards |
 |
|
Our Fall Product Program kicked off on Sept. 21! During the program, Girl Scouts sell deluxe items such as nuts, candies, snack mixes, stationery, Barkboxes, magazines, and more to earn funds for exciting activities. They can also earn rewards decorated with the program theme of "Embrace Possibility" and mascot of an Asian elephant.
Best of all, Girl Scouts get hands-on experience with modern technology and entrepreneurial tactics. They develop five key skills associated with a lifetime of success: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.
There's still time to sign up to participate! Contact our Product Program team at customercare@gsofsi.org. |

Help Our Communities Celebrate By Participating in Our Birthday Bags Service Project |
 |
|
This October, Girl Scouts are encouraged to show their neighbors they care by making birthday bags for the local food pantries. This community service project honors founder Juliette Gordon Low, whose birthday is on Oct. 31. Girl Scouts can earn a unique patch by collecting items such as cake mixes, icing, cake pans, birthday cards, etc - and creating kits for local food pantries throughout the month. |
