Fall Kickoff Activities
Thank you to all Girl Scouts, Volunteers, new friends and families that joined us at Headquarters for the 2023 Fall Kick Off event! We had a great time, see below for two new Girl Activities.
Pitch Perfect – Does your Girl need help making a pitch to sell her Fall Product? We have a fun fill in the blank sheet to help your Girl with her pitch when talking to her customers.
Make Your Own Monk Seal – We love our newly named Mascot, Ola! If your Girl would like to make her own Monk Seal click the link. It’s a simple and easy craft for home or your Troop.
Create Your Avatar and Customized Patch
Creating an avatar is fun and easy. You will also be able to upload a photo and video for friends and family to see. This step is optional, but has been proven to increase sales. Girls have the opportunity to earn their own avatar patch! Girls who send at least fifteen emails through M2OS have 148% higher sales than girls who don’t.
Girls with $325 in online sales can turn their avatar creation into their very own customized patch!
Troop Product Coordinators will earn their own customized patch too!
Name the 2022 Fall Product Mascot
Every year, Girl Scouts has a special mascot for product programs and this year’s Fall Product Mascot is a Hawaiian Monk Seal!
All Girl Scouts are invited to help us come up with a name for our Fall Product friend. Contest ends on September 6, 2022. Vote NOW! .
Limit one entry per household. Winning name and winner of the Giant Seal will be announced at the September 17th Fall Kick-Off.
