Fall Product Sale Program Is Coming Soon 
October 1 - November 15  
Our 2016 Fall Product Sale Program is an awesome way for troops to start their new Girl Scout year. Troops and girls that participate can earn money for their programs and activities throughout the year. Girls can also earn  rewards. It is intended to reach family, friends, teachers and neighbors.

The Council's Fall Product Sale Program helps girls develop five key leadership skills: goal-setting, decision making, people skills, money management and business ethics.
  
Girls can sell nuts and candy items and magazine subscriptions to anyone - friends, family, neighbors, and teachers, online and in person.
 
Again this year, girls will be selling 'Save Around' coupon books in person.
 
The theme for this year's Fall Product Sale Program is Explore Something Different featuring a koala. Check out some fun facts about koalas here.

Volunteers and families are integral to the success of our product sales and we appreciate your support during the 2016 Fall Product Sale Program.

Back to School Means Back to Troop 
It's that time of year when office supply stores are full of parents and students  buying notebooks, pens and crayons to prepare them for a new school year. Don't forget that besides new school supplies, you'll also need all your Girl Scout gear because your next Girl Scout adventure is ready and waiting for you.

To help you get started, the GSSEF Retail Stores are featuring a Back to Troop promotion. Starting August 17 through October 15, 2016, spend $75 or more in-store and receive a $10 Coupon to spend on a $25 or more purchase from November 1 to November 18, 2016*. The $75 purchase can be made in store or online and must be made in one transaction.  
 
A great item to add to your shopping list is a Starter Kit or Essentials Kit that has everything you need to get your Girl Scout year started right. And it includes a super cute drawstring bag while supplies last.

*Please Note: The $10 coupon given out at stores can only be used at the store that issues the coupon. $10 coupon codes that are sent to customers who shop online can only be redeemed online at www.girlscoutshop. Customers cannot use in-store coupons online and online coupon codes cannot be used at the GSSEF council stores.

Troop #10450 and friends hosted a great crayon clean-out program supporting the Crayon Initiative. The event collected over 350 pounds of recycled crayons and girls created beautiful recycled masterpieces in the process! What a colorful way for the girls to give back.
 





Girl Scout Troop #11641 retired three flags during a Flag Retirement Ceremony to honor local veterans and their families.The girls learned the significance of the American flag and what each stripe and star represents.They invited local veterans and their families to the ceremony. Each girl had a part to read and a stripe to cut and burn. The flags were donated by Trinity Lutheran Church of Pembroke Pines.
