Fall Product
The Fall Product Program is an integral part of the Girl Scout leadership experience and our business and economic literacy initiative for girls. Through this program, girls develop the following important skills they will be able to use throughout their lives:
- Goal Setting
- Decision Making
- Money Management
- People Skills
- Business Ethics.
Girls sell magazines, nuts, candies and chocolates door to door and through an internet email sales program, to pay for their patches and activities as they begin their year’s adventure.
