No late registrations will be accepted at any time. This is to provide the staff and program partners enough time to prepare for the event. |
| Fall Product Sales | |
by Heather Law, Product Sales Manager  Participating in the Fall Product Program is a great way to help your troop earn money for fun activities and service projects. Make sure to see the variety of prizes you can earn, including Nut Credit.
This year, there are a few exciting changes - you can deliver products over Thanksgiving weekend so you can sell to family members and you'll get prizes sooner!
Older girls - Are you having a hard time fitting in door-to-door sales with all of your other activities this fall? You can still participate in both the magazine and the nut sale using our online sale option. It's easy! You just enter e-mail addresses of family members and other adults that you know. Then personalize your message telling them why you are selling nuts & magazines. Then, they get an e-mail with a link to purchase and pay online. After you send the e-mail, the only other thing you do is print out a report which will state how many you sold. Give it to your troop leader and you're done! You know you are skilled at sending e-mail, so add a few extra minutes of screen time and you can help your troop earn spending money. Girls 13 and older can also use social media to tell their friends and family about the sale. Remember to follow Safety-Wise guidelines and never collect credit card numbers.
