Fall Product Sale Activity

The 2011 Fall Product Sale Activity is a great opportunity for all Girl Scouts to develop confidence, leadership, responsibility, goal setting and teamwork skills, as well as experience money management.

Girl Scouts of Gateway Council sponsors a three part Fall Product Sale Activity that gives your Girl Scout the opportunity to earn proceeds for her troop, earn incentives for herself and support our Council.

The Fall Product Sale Activity is designed to be a fun, easy way for Girl Scout troops to earn money at the beginning of the membership year. The proceeds earned will help fund the troop’s activities throughout the year. 

This year’s activity theme is:  Investing in Today = Success for Tomorrow.  The new mascot is the Artic Fox. Through participation in the Fall Product Activity, girlsin your troop can earn a beautiful array of patches and other incentives.

Before girls can participate in the Fall Product Activity, troops must first have a trained Fall Product Manager. Contact your Service Unit Fall Product Manager to find out when training is being held for Troop Fall Product Managers.

Troop Fall Product Managers Training

Volunteers who take this ONLINE TROOP FALL PRODUCT MANAGERS TRAINING must still meet with their assigned Service Unit Fall Product Manager for further instructions and to receive the materials necessary to participate in the Fall Product Activity.
