Girl Scouts of Colorado’s 2020 Fall Product Program is now underway, and there’s still plenty of time for you to get started! Fall Product Program is a great way for troops (both new and existing) to earn proceeds to use for Girl Scout activities throughout the year or to get one step closer to reaching their next goal. All troops receive 13% of their magazine orders as troop proceeds, plus $1/per item for nuts and chocolates sold.
GSCO Media Star and Girl Scout Junior McKenzie from Grand Junction told us what she likes about this program:
How many years have you participated in Fall Product Program?
Three Years
Do you like creating an avatar that looks like you?
Definitely!
Do you record a message too?
Yes, I do.
What do you like about having an online storefront? Is it easy to connect with family, friends, and other customers? Is it fun to use?
I love being able to access it easily and check my status. It’s definitely a lot easier. Connecting with customers is easier because, in addition to talking to them in person, now I can email them, even friends and family across the country. Plus, the system had all my contacts in it from last year, so that made it even easier.
What tips for success would you share with girls who are participating for the first time?
Tips: design your avatar so that it looks like you and reflects your personality. Also, be sure to record your message; it’s really cool to watch your avatar say it. And, make sure you know all about your products . And, always, always, always have fun with it.
What nut or candy item(s) do your customers like best?
Mint Trefoils
What has your troop done with Fall Product Program troop proceeds that you’ve earned?
We did a lock-in at Bananas and we went to the service unit’s Snowflake Ball.
What’s the coolest reward that you have earned?
Cookie Credits to put toward my troop’s trip to Europe
I also loved earning the S’mores Club sweatshirt and I’m going to work hard to earn the customized Converse shoes this year.
Thank you, McKenzie, for sharing your experience and tips with other Girl Scouts!
