Fall Product Sale Program Is Almost Here  
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.
    
NUTS AND CANDY
