Do your girls want to complete some new badges this winter, or maybe save up for a big event six months from now? Whatever their hearts desire, make sure they set a troop goal. By working as a team, even new members can feel a part of something bigger as they join with their new friends to achieve a common goal. And troop leaders can help guide their girls’ dreams, but remember, activities should always be girl-led. Keep your parents and girls updated on your troop’s sales and remind girls to set individual goals—that way their excitement lasts all season long.

For Leaders
Why should my troop participate?
It’s one of the best ways for girls to start earning troop funds without having to wait until late spring after cookie season to start having fun (and troop leaders don’t need to spend any of their own money to fund the troop). Participating in the fall product program and the Girl Scout Cookie Program covers the year’s various expenses like badges, troop shirts, activity registration fees, and troop meeting supplies. When girls understand the program and process, they take pride in knowing that they earned funds to support all their troop activities.
The fall product program provides girls with valuable skills, including customer service, organizing, creative problem solving, money handling, marketing savvy, and goal setting. Whether taking online orders, or meeting customers in person, the fall product program gives girls the chance to put their skills into action, show off their Girl Scout spirit, and let their confidence soar as they interact with customers.
All proceeds stay in Eastern Oklahoma. Council proceeds help to underwrite the costs of all council programs, facilities and campsites - to keep costs affordable for troops and girls. When girls sell fall products they contribute to the overall good of the council.
With all that in mind, here is some key information to help your troop participate in a successful fall product program:
-
Set a Troop Goal
-
Complete the Training and Get Troop Materials
-
Prepare for the Season
-
Get Families Involved
-
