Fall 2019 Lead & Learn

AROUND COUNCIL

Product Programs 2019 FALL PRODUCT PROGRAM Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri is committed to ensuring our G . I . R . L .s thrive through exceptional experiences. The Fall Product Program is the perfect example. Fostering important lessons for girls in leadership and financial literacy, the program enables troops to earn startup money to fund all the exciting adventures they will embark on throughout the year. Based on member feedback, we have simplified the Fall Product Program to provide troops with greater flexibility. • Order taking in person and online girl-delivered orders runs from Sept. 28-Oct. 20. GO Day is a week earlier this year • Girls continue with shipped and donated orders through Nov. 24 that are paid for online

PERSONALIZED PATCHES Have you heard about the personalized avatar patches available only through our Fall Product Program for girls and troop volunteers? They are each unique, displaying the Girl Scout likenesses that girls and volunteers create in the fall on M2OS. • Troop Fall Product Managers earn their own Fall personalized patch by creating their avatar in M2OS and the troop achieving $1,700 total Fall Product sales • Troop Leaders earn their own Girl Scout Cookie Crossover patch by creating their avatar in the fall in M2OS, their troop achieving a total of $1,000 in Fall Product sales and reaching a 140 PGA (per girl average) in the 2020 Cookie Program We are so excited about the new product and Girl Scout tin this year from our partner, Ashdon Farms! Satisfy your Thin Mints craving before Cookie season arrives with dark chocolate Thin Mints Almonds. They combine the beloved taste of Thin Mints with crunchy almonds, you really want to try these! New for 2019!

• Products are delivered to neighborhood volunteers Nov. 12-13

• Girl Scouts deliver products to customers Nov. 14-24

• The program ends Nov. 24, before Thanksgiving

New this year, all online orders (including those for girl delivery) are paid online with a credit card by the customer. Fall Product Program does not include additional Goal Getter orders, late orders or Council-sponsored booths. Troops are welcome to add additional products to their order in M20S to sell at booths scheduled on their own. There will not be peanut pantries available. Look for a training invitation in September from your Neighborhood Fall Product Manager. You will receive Fall Product materials for your troop at this training.
