It’s almost time for the 2023 Fall Product Program!

Participating in the Fall Product Program is simple! All girls participate online through digital sales. Girls send emails inviting friends and family to order Fall products online. Girl Scout customers will have two options to purchase products through the email they receive.

  • Direct Ship Option:  Customers can choose the Direct Ship option where they will have the ability to purchase from a full assortment of Girl Scout nuts and candies, magazines, Bark Box, Tervis Products and pay with a credit card.  These items will be directly sent to the customer, with no money to collect or product to deliver.  Shipping and handling fees will apply.  Girls can also share their storefront with direct ship only on social media with adult supervision.
  • Online Girl Delivered Option: Girls can choose to offer an online girl delivered option to customers in the local area where the customer pays for nuts online with a credit card and then the girl delivers the online girl delivered order.  All sales and payments are automatically reported in M2OS.  With this option, customers can select from the 16 nut and candy items listed on page 3 of the Family Guide.

There is no financial risk to troops or families as there is no money to collect or leftover product to handle.

The Fall Product Program begins September 17 through October 15, 2023!
