By selling Girl Scout products to friends and family, Girl Scouts develop valuable life skills like goal setting, money management, people skills, business ethics and teamwork – and they have fun! Our customers get a great product and get to support girls in their community.

The Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England sponsors two product sales each year. All Girl Scouts – from Daisies to Ambassadors – are eligible and encouraged to participate. Both the Fall QSP/Be A Reader Magazine, Candy & Nut Sale and the Girl Scout Cookie Sale offer opportunities for girls to practice these 5 skills: Goal setting, Decision making, Money management, people skills, and business ethics.

Fall Product Program

Each year, Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England take orders from friends and family for delicious nuts, candy and magazine subscriptions as part of the Fall Product Program. By participating in this program, troops get a head start on funding their activities for the year! The sale begins on September 1 and runs through October 29. Al Girl Scouts from Daisies through Ambassadors can participate in the sale.

Being involved in the Fall Product Program ensures girls are learning to become leaders. A girl becomes a leader by discovering, connecting and taking action to make the world a better place. For girls to become leaders, they need to:

• Understand their values and use their knowledge and skills to explore their world (Discover)
  
• Care about, inspire and team with other locally (Connect)
  
• Act to make the world a better place and to make a difference in their communities (Take Action)
