ABOUT THE FALL PRODUCT PROGRAM
With easy-to-sell products that make for great gifts during the fall season, the Fall Product Program provides
funds for activities for short-term and long-term troop goals, opportunities for the council to expand program
offerings and financial assistance, and preparation and practice for the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Did you know
that troops that participate in the Fall Product Program tend to have a higher per-girl-average?
Fall Product Program Goals:
Goal Setting: Girls set sale goals and - with their troop - create a plan to reach them. This matters
1 because girls need to know how to set and reach goals to be success in school, on the job and in life.
Decision Making: Girls decide how to market their sale and what to do with their earnings. This
2 matters because girls must make many decisions, big and small, in their lives.
Money Management: Girls develop a budget, take orders and handle customer’s money. This
3 matters because girls need to know how to handle money.
People Skills: Girls learn how to talk and listen to their customers, as well as learn how to work as a
4 team. This matters because it helps them do better with group projects and later at work.
Business Ethics: Girls act honestly and responsibly during every step of the program. This matters
5 because employers want to hire ethical employees and the world needs ethical leaders.

First, participants will be introduced (or given a refresher) to the
Leave No Trace Principles. Then, they'll be asked to put their new
knowledge to work as they investigate a camp site to identify
“crimes” that don’t follow best practices. Furthermore, in addition

NASCAR. Daisies and Brownies will work
together in this blended, 60-minute program
to earn three badges. While they explore how

girls will determine the purpose of specific
elements by examining parts and pieces to
engineer their own car! Then, girls will race
their cars to see if they can set or beat the
NASCAR Hall of Fame track record! Come

manufactured at a factory for a race team.
The designs of the cars will be dependent on
the girls' grade levels.
