Make a Splash with the 2022 Fall Product Program

October 1-23, 2022

The Fall Product Program helps Girl Scouts set and achieve goals at the beginning of the membership year by selling magazines, nuts, and candy. These products make great stocking stuffers and holiday gifts for family, friends, teachers, neighbors, and anyone else on your list!

100% of funds generated from this program go toward helping Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland build important skills by providing activities and opportunities through our programs.

How It Works

They will become an entrepreneur while motivating family and friends to support their Girl Scout journey by purchasing tasty treats and magazines:

What Girl Scouts Learn

Like the Cookie Program, the Fall Product Program provides an important ingredient for leadership by helping Girl Scouts develop the 5 Skills they need to develop as leaders in their lives, in business, and in the world:

Should my troop participate?

The 2022 Fall Product Program is a great opportunity for your troop to practice their entrepreneurship skills, learn about an endangered species they’ll care about, and earn troops funds they can use for the coming membership year! Your troop might be ready to participate if:

  • You have more than two volunteers and five Girl Scouts registered for the 2022-2023 Girl Scout Year.
  • Girl Scouts’ families and caregivers regularly read and respond to troop communications and participate in troop activities.
  • The troop has a bank account on file or has two volunteers who are able to go together to open one.
  •  Your Girl Scouts are excited to set and meet goals, build a nest egg for their troop, and earn great rewards!

Not sure if your troop is ready to participate? Talk to your membership manager about what you need to do or email productprogram@gsoh.org to learn more about participating as individuals instead.

What Girl Scouts Earn

Girl Scouts earn special patches and rewards and help raise funds for their troops to use right away or plan for future adventures!
