Girl Scout Cookie Program

Fall Product Program

Overview

Girl Scouts of Central and Western Massachusetts has partnered with Ashdon Farms and QSP/Reader’s Digest for the 2008 Fall Product Program.  The Fall Product Program gives girls the opportunity to build skills for success in the real world, like goal setting, budgeting, planning, earning and managing money, marketing, sales techniques, money handling, record keeping and safety.  Specific program links and references are included in troop training materials. The sale is managed by volunteers with staff supervision.  Each service unit and troop has a sale manager.  All of these managers are trained to provide sales and safety training to the girls and to administer the sale.

QSP Online/Email Program
