Please adhere to the deadlines set by your Service Unit Fall Product Coordinator so orders reach your customers as
soon as possible and rewards can be shipped on time.

Some troops choose to change due dates for their girls. Be sure to set realistic deadlines for orders and money to
be turned in to you. The girls should be given the opportunity to sell for the entire length of the program.

product program proceeds standards

• Troops should be financed by troop money-earning activities and by a share of money earned through council-sponsored
  product sales.

• Girl Scouts engage in troop budgeting activities that help them to learn money management. The girls are part of the
  decision-making process in determining troop dues, troop money-earning projects and uses of collective funds. The funds
  are for Girl Scout activities and are not to be retained by individuals as their property.

• Girl Scouts may not raise money for other organizations. However, girls may contribute a portion of their troop treasury to
  organizations or projects they consider worthwhile (for example, local or international community service organizations or
  environmental projects).

• Girls should be encouraged to designate a portion of their troop treasury for the annual membership dues of all troop
  members. This is a sound and efficient practice that enables girls to meet membership dues and lessens the potential
  burden to individual members.

• All proceeds earned by girls through product activities must support Girl Scout program experiences for girls (such as
  camp, troop travel and program events; but not scholarships or financial credits toward outside organizations). Individual
  gift cards or individual tickets to external establishments would not be within guidance.

• Example:
         •   Accepted: Tickets for a troop trip to the zoo
         •   Not Accepted: Tickets given to an individual girl or her family to the zoo

• Do not reimburse girls for experiences – Travel and event rewards should be Girl Scout hosted and funded. If a girl is
  unable to attend an event sponsored by the troop, she is not to be reimbursed for the funding that would have been spent
  for her experience.

• Proceeds received by a troop are non-transferable – Girls who leave the troop or leave Girl Scouting are not entitled to
  proceeds earned while in the troop when they leave. Proceeds do not follow the girls.

• Proceeds may only be allocated to Girl Scout troops for Girl Scout program activities. Cash based accounts may not be
  kept for or distributed to individual girls. Do not track proceeds for individual girls in any pathway – either by council or
  troop.

automated clearing house (ach)
Girl Scouts Heart of the South will be accepting payments via Automated Clearing House (ACH) for Troop’s Product Program
payments. Therefore, GSHS will automatically withdraw payments for Fall Product from Girl Scout Troop accounts.

Process of ACH
 • Each troop must have an active GSHS troop bank account.

 • Each troop is required to complete and submit an ACH Debit Authorization form with a voided troop check or letter from
   the bank with account and routing information attached. All ACH authorization forms must be submitted to the council at
   info@girlscoutshs.org by October 5, 2021 for the Fall Product Program for troops to place their nut/candy order.

 • GSHS will complete one (1) draft for Fall Product from troop accounts.

 • Troop's balance will be visible in the M2 Online System on the troop dashboard.

 • Troops are required to have funds available in their troop account according to the deadlines below:

 2021 FALL PRODUCT
 December 8, 2021		                      ACH shortage information due to Council
					                                    *Shortage information deadlines are FIRM deadlines
 December 13, 2021		                     ACH draft from Troop bank account

 • If an emergency arises and a troop does not have all funds available for the drafts, troop volunteers must complete the
   ACH Shortage Form prior to the deadlines outlined above. Information should include the following:
       • Service Unit and Troop number
       • Amount to be withdrawn from account via ACH
       • When full balance is anticipated
       • What caused the shortage of funds
       • Outstanding Balance forms and other documentation

 • Troops that do not make GSHS aware of account shortages by the deadlines outlined will be responsible for any and all
   insufficient fund fees associated with the transaction.

 • An email will be sent through M2 Online System prior to the ACH sweep, informing troops of the transaction timeframe.
   Please note that transactions can take between 24 to 48 hours to show on the troop account.

 • Once the drafts are complete and confirmed by the bank, payments will be uploaded in M2 Online System and will appear
   on each troop’s Deposit Tab. Payments will also be recorded on reports within the online systems.

 • Should a troop have an overpayment, the overpayment amount will be electronically deposited in the account provided.

 • Service Units will have product program proceeds electronically deposited into Service Unit bank accounts provided.

Troop Product Program Manager Agreement & Policies
Policies & Procedures Continued:
   12.     Any girl, parent or volunteer who has habitually mishandled money/product or has a history (more than one incident) of non-recovered returned checks to the
           council for any transaction will not be allowed to participate in product programs. The Service Unit Product Program Coordinator will be issued a list of ineligible
           persons prior to the start of the program. These persons may be returned to eligibility only by recommendation of the Service Unit Manager and approval by the
           Chief Executive Officer.
   13.     Any girl, parent or volunteer who is habitually (more than one incident) late (more than thirty days) with product program payments, will be required to either
           provide payment up front for product or will only be allowed to participate in programs which do not require handling of money (booth sales, online sales, etc.).
   14.     Any Troop with a history (more than one incident) of financial negligence (product sale debts, late payments, non-recovered returned checks, etc.), will be
           required to provide payment up front for product.
   15.     Any person withholding money for any reason from Girl Scouts Heart of the South, in connection with the any product program, is subject to litigation for
           recovery of all money due and payable, as well as all costs incurred in the collection process.
   16.     Girl Scouts Heart of the South does not accept personal checks for any product programs sold by girls, parents and/or volunteers. Troop payments are
           deducted from troop bank accounts via ACH draft. Troops that accept checks from parents and/or customers for product programs will be responsible for
           collecting on any checks returned, as well as any fees incurred.
   17.     Extenuating circumstances, which will impact a troop or parent’s ability to successfully fulfill their responsibilities, should be communicated to council staff
           promptly. Circumstances that may require special arrangements for payment will be handled on a case-by-case basis. These may include serious illness or
           death in the family, fire, theft, and auto accidents. They will be required to provide proof and/or documentation in these instances. In the case of theft
           documented by a police report, the council would expect the loss to be covered by personal insurance and additional time will be allowed to collect from
           insurance. If not covered by insurance and not properly documented, payment in full is expected by the due date.
   18.     In order to receive product program material and/or products, council must have a social security number or the last four digits of the social security number
           and full date of birth for the person signing the Parent/Guardian Permission Form and/or Product Program Manager Agreement. Troops and/or
           Parents/Guardians will be asked to pay up front for product if this information is not provided.
   19.     Any report of a girl, parent and/or volunteer selling expired product or product for other than the official selling price could result in the girl losing all rewards,
           their ability to sell in future sales and/or dismissal of volunteer role. Each report will be dealt with individually. The person observing an incident should send a
           detailed report (who, when, where, selling price, etc.) to the council in writing with information and means to verify details.
   20.     Any report of a girl taking orders prior to the council designated start date could result in the girl losing all rewards. Each report of girls selling early will be dealt
           with individually. The person observing an incident of early order taking should send a detailed report (who, when, where, etc.) to the council in writing with
           information and means to verify details.
   21.     Troops and girls may only sell products provided by licensed vendors currently under contract with GSHS during the Fall Product and Cookie Programs.
   22.     A booth sale is a troop activity and requires a parent/guardian permission slip, attendance by a minimum of one girl and a registered adult as designated by the
           Troop Leader and cannot take place prior to council booth start dates. Girls make all sales, except in cases where volunteers help younger girls handle money.
   23.     Door to door sales and booth sales must be conducted within the 59 counties represented by Girl Scouts Heart of the South. Only sales to friends and family
           outside of the GSHS jurisdiction are allowed.

   25.     Online sales (where payment is accepted online) are only permitted through GSUSA approved sites (M2 Online Program, Digital Order Channel). Online sales
           through sites such as eBay, Craig’s List, etc. are prohibited.
   26.     For safety purposes and other reasons, girl online sales links may only be shared via social media with friends and family. Girl contact information, online sales
           links, or sales information may not be shared or marketed on resale sites, such as FB Marketplace, nor with any news outlets.
   27.     Should any online marketing activities be identified as in violation of guidance, GSUSA or the council reserves the right to intervene and request removal or
           remove the post.

I agree to accept the position of Troop Product Program Manager. I have read the responsibilities and qualifications of the position and am in compliance or will
comply with the terms and conditions as outlined. I have not been convicted of a crime (felony or misdemeanor) other than routine traffic violations. I understand
that by withholding monies from Girl Scouts Heart of the South, I would be responsible for paying any costs incurred in the collection process on top of money
