Girl Scouts Go Nutz!

Girl Scouts Go Nutz! You don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to participate in the Fall Product Program Activity sale that kicks off on September 15th. New this year, troops earn $1.00 for each item sold. What an excellent way for troops to earn monies for their fall ceremonies, trips and holiday expenses.

Girls take pre-orders Sept. 15 – 30. Please contact your Membership Marketing Consultant if you have questions about the 2007-08 membership registration or the Fall Product Program Activity sale.

The QSP magazine program is back this year with greater rewards for the troops. Any booklet submitted to the council with at least 10 complete addresses will earn the troop $2.00. That’s right. Between both program activities, girls have an opportunity to earn $3.00 each for their troop by selling one of the 14 nut or candy products and turning in one booklet with at least 10 complete addresses filled in.

So, let’s get registered and signed up for the Fall Product Program Activity sale.
