Product Sales

Product Sales Program

Girl Scouts of West Central Florida’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 Scouts of West Central Florida 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 QSP magazine sale through Reader’s Digest and/or 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.
