Fall Product Sale!!

Our fall fundraiser, the Candy and Nut Sale began in September, but it’s not too late to start selling. Girl Scouts can earn multiple patches by participating in the hybrid sale, by using both online and paper forms. Increase your sales by opening an online store and selling on social media. 

There are various ways Girl Scouts can earn patches when they participate in the sale. By selling 15 candy and nut items and 2 magazine subscriptions girls can earn 2 patch segments. A final patch can be earned by registering on the nut sale website and entering 15 email addresses. Additionally, girls can earn Crossover Awards by participating in both the Fall sale and the Cookie sale.
