GSEM’s Product Sales Programs are an important part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, helping girls build a lifetime of skills and confidence. When girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie and Fall Product Programs, they master:
- Goal setting
- Decision making
- Money management
- People skills
- Business ethics
Everything girls do in Girl Scouting is designed to help them grow into leaders, with the focus on activities that are girl-led, experiential and cooperative.
All registered girl members at the Girl Scout Daisy level and higher whose guardians have given their written permission are eligible to participate in our two Product Sales Programs:
1. Our Fall Product Program takes place in November and is the dress rehearsal for the important Cookie Program in the winter. Troops that choose to participate in the Fall Product Program get a head start by working with a line of candy, nuts and magazine items provided by Trophy Nut Co. and American Publishers, Inc.
2. Our Girl Scout Cookie Program begins in January and runs through March. GSEM troops participate with eight varieties of Girl Scout Cookies from ABC Bakers.
All of the proceeds stay within our community to benefit area girls.
