Reach for the Stars in 2011
Beginning in October all troops have the opportunity to earn money for their troop treasuries by participating in our 2011 Fall Product Sale activities. Through our continued partnership with Trophy Nut Company, a GSUSA licensed vendor, girls can take orders from family and friends for a selection of Trophy Nut products, including nuts, candy, collectible tins and magazine vouchers. We also have an online magazine ordering program and, new this year, on online Nuts Plus program.
This fun activity will teach your girls about teamwork, communications and money management, and will help them set and achieve their program goals for the coming year. Active participation will provide funds for your troop activities, and helps to underwrite the costs of all Council campsites, facilities and programs, making them affordable for your troop.
