It’s Girl Scout Fall Product season! From now until October 18, Girl Scouts can sell a variety of products to start earning troop proceeds in the first half of the Girl Scout year. NEW this year, troops that sell $1,000 worth of fall product items will receive an additional $0.05 (five cents) in troop proceeds per cookie box sold during cookie season!
What are troop proceeds?
On top of the patches and rewards Girl Scouts can earn when participating in the Fall Product Program, the Cookie Program, or both, their troop will receive money back for every item sold.
Fall Product Program Troop Proceeds
Daisy and Brownie troops earn 15% of gross sales.
Junior, Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador troops can earn 15% of gross sales (by opting in for rewards) or 18% of gross sales (by opting out of rewards).
Cookie Program Troop Proceeds
Daisy and Brownie troops will receive $1.05 in proceeds per cookie box sold.
Junior, Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador troops who chose to opt out of rewards will receive $1.15 in proceeds per cookie box sold.
But remember, troops that sell $1,000 worth of fall product items will receive an additional $0.05 (five cents) in troop proceeds per cookie box sold during cookie season! This means that Daisy and Brownie troops can earn $1.10 in proceeds per cookie box sold, and Junior, Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador troops who chose to opt out of rewards can earn $1.20.
So, what can troops do with the proceeds?
The possibilities are endless as long as it supports Girl Scout program experiences!
Here are some common ways troops in our council spend their proceeds:
- Service projects
- Hosting a party for their community
- Going to the theatre
- Visiting their favorite amusement park
- Uniforms
- Badge activity books
- Summer Camp registration fees
- Council programs
