The Fall Product Program is a council-sponsored program that combines educational activities with money earning opportunities for the troops.

During the program, girls offer nuts, candy, and magazines to their customers, all of which go a long way to help troops fund awesome Girl Scout experiences. New and existing troops can purchase troop supplies for their meetings, as well as save money to fund overnight adventures, day trips, travel experiences and awards.

P.S. Fall Product makes perfect holiday gifts!

Why Participate
