Product Sales Program
Girl Scout Council of the Florida Panhandle’s product sales
programs help girls develop life long skills that increase their
self-confidence and add new dimensions to their lives. By
participating in the product sales girls earn their own way and
contribute to the troop/group and council support. The product
sales programs present opportunities for girls to:
- Learn the importance of goal-setting and develop plans
to achieve a goal.
- Understand how their efforts contribute to the overall good
of their council and Girl Scouting.
- Put the ethical standards of the Girl Scout Promise and
Law into practice.
- Learn about entrepreneurship and basic business and
financial planning.
- Develop high levels of self-esteem, self-reliance, and
personal achievement.
- Heighten their career awareness.
- Develop interpersonal and teamwork skills.
 All
registered girl members at the Girl Scout Daisy grade level or
higher whose guardians have given their written permission are
eligible to participate in the product sales programs.
Girl Scout Council of the Florida Panhandle offers two
product sale programs per year.
The annual Cookie Program is the nation’s premier business
entrepreneurial program for girls. The program begins with
pre-sales in January and the girls conduct direct sales in
March. The bakery, Little Brownie Bakers, supplies each troop
with program activities that prepare each girl and her troop
with goal setting, marketing, entrepreneurship, and leadership
ideas.
The Fall Product Sale Program takes place September through
November. The girls participate in the Nut Sale with products
from Ashdon Farms. These vendors offer program activities for all
age levels which the girls and their troops can use throughout
the program year and earn patches. |
