Fund Your Adventures
Girl Scout product sales allow troops to earn money to selffund their experiences — like going to camp, attending fun
activities, and more. These programs teach valuable life skills
and are great learning experiences for both girls and adults.
Troops and individually registered members (girls not in a
troop) could plan to use their earnings to go on a trip together,
help provide books and uniforms for the troop, and more. Plus,
girls learn five valuable skills while earning rewards and having
fun!
Fall Product Program
The Fall Product Program gives girls and troops the chance to sell
magazine subscriptions (new and renewals) and popular nuts
and candies to earn quick, easy startup money for their troop.

Girl Scout Cookie Program
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the most popular way to earn funds for your troop! Troops in our
council earn nearly $1 million each year, and 100 percent of the profits stay in our area to support local
Girl Scouts.
Girls can sell cookies using the Digital Cookie platform, an innovative online program that takes the
5 Skills to a new level, and introduces lessons in e-commerce, online marketing, and app use. They
can also use the traditional paper order form during the order taking portion of the program. The Girl
Scout Cookie Program ends with the opportunity to sell cookies directly to customers at cookie booths
in high-traffic areas such as grocery stores, malls, or sporting events. Booth times and locations are
determined by service units or troops.
