GSUSA allows Girl Scout Councils to sponsor two commercial products
programs per Girl Scout year. These programs support Girl
Scout activities and provide opportunities for girls to
learn valuable skills. By planning and participating in
these programs, girls learn the value of teamwork and develop
self-confidence. Through the revenue generated by these
products programs, the Cahaba Council is able to continue
to provide programs, volunteer training, and support to
girls in the seven counties served.
The Cookie Program Activity
For over 70 years, Girl Scout Cookie activities have helped girls learn invaluable
skills, such as decision-making, money management, and delivering
on a promise. These activities are directly related to our
mission of helping all girls realize their full potential
and become strong, confident, and resourceful citizens.
Each girl's participation in cookie activities is voluntary. Most Brownie, Junior, Cadette, and Senior Girl
Scouts enjoy the experience and look forward to taking part in these fun activities each year. Daisy Girl
Scouts must wait until they are Brownie Scouts to sell Girl Scout Cookies. Adults must monitor, supervise,
and guide the sale activities of all age levels, and girls always use the buddy system.
Fall Product Program Activity – Nut Sales
This activity provides troops with a great opportunity to earn proceeds to start the new Girl Scout year.
These delicious nuts and candies make
great gifts since delivery is before the holidays.
Benefits of Both Program Activities to Girl Scouts
Girl Scout Program Activities affect every girl involved
in Girl Scouting in one way or another. All of the proceeds
generated stay in the Cahaba Council to support Girl Scouting
in our area, including the portion that goes directly to
the troop/group selling the products. Proceeds earned are
not the property of individual girls — they are distributed
according to a Council plan to benefit all girls involved
in Girl Scouting through program activities, Council resources
and scholarship funds for girl program participation, service
projects, and travel.
For more information on both program activities, contact Product Sales Manager
Nicole Harris.
