Your Troop can decide to participate in one or more ways that don’t overlap with other activities at school. For an easy participation option that involves no physical money collection, your Troop can even participate in online sales only.
Shipped Online Orders
Girls create their own online store that offers magazines and nut and candy items online to help girls reach friends and family who live at a distance.
Girl Delivery Online Orders
Girls create their own online store that offers magazines and nut and candy items online. Customers shop from the very same online store, but certain nut and candy items are able to be delivered by the girl!
In-Person Orders
Girls visit potential customers to collect orders for nuts and candy products. Payment is not expected until delivery. Customers also have the option of purchasing nut items to be donated to regional military through our Care to Share program.
Safety Guidelines
Girls can market Fall Product items by sending emails to friends and family as long as they use:
- a group email address
- the address of a parent/guardian or adult volunteer
- a blind email address in which the recipients cannot see the sender’s email address or through the online magazine/nut program website provided by M2/Ashdon Farms
Girls who are 13 years and older may use social networking sites that are closed communities, such as Facebook, to market Fall Product to friends and family.
Girls writing notes for recipients of product emails or announcements online should sign with their first names and Troop number only.
Sales may not be transacted online. For example, through a site that has an electronic shopping cart, online auction sites, or public sale sites such as eBay and Craigslist. The only exception to this is GSUSA-approved magazine vendor programs provide to girls.
Girl Scouts should sign the GSUSA Online Safety Pledge.
