Fall Product Sale Program — For Girls and Families

Once again, Ashdon Farms and QSP are offering Councils, Communities, Troops and girls the opportunity to participate in the GSGWM Fall Product Sale Program. This program provides a valuable learning experience for girls to develop life skills, as well as focusing on interesting program topics, based on this year’s theme of "Investing in Today=Success for Tomorrow". It also provides early start-up funds for the troop to help with early troop activities. It is a fast, easy program that is FUN for the girls!

There are many ways to participate in the Fall Product Sale. You may choose one, two or all of these options for loads of fun, great girl incentives and lots of troop proceeds.

Nuts & Candy Girls will receive an FPS Order Card showing all the nut and candy items for sale, and the cost for each. Each itempurchased counts as one item toward girl incentives, and adds to the troop’s proceeds. NO MONEY IS COLLECTED when the order is taken – MONEY IS COLLECTED when the girls deliver the items to their customers. Products will be shipped to your area Nov. 19, 2011. Your troop will contact you for pick-up. View the exciting variety of Ashdon Farms Products! These items make excellent holiday gifts! Order a few extra items for quick gifts, unexpected guests or a nice gift of thanks.

Online Magazine Requests This is the newest and easiest way to participate in the magazine/book portion of the Fall Product Sale. Each girl and her parent log onto a special, protected QSP website and participate in a program about internet safety. Then the girl enters 12 or more personalized e-mails to family and friends, inviting them to support her troop by purchasing new magazines and books, or by renewing magazines they already receive. More.

QSP Address Booklets Each girl will receive ONE Address Booklet in her FPS materials. She will complete that booklet (at least 7 pages completed), and return it to her troop leader or troop FPS Manager. Each girl may only complete ONE Address Booklet, which will count as one item sold toward girl incentives, and adds to the troop’s proceeds. NO MONEY IS COLLECTED!  More.

Buy Now / Pay Later Magazine Sales Girls visit family and friends, and show them the QSP Girl Scout Magazine/Book Catalog. Customers order from the girl and complete a paper order form. NO MONEY IS COLLECTED. Each subscription/book ordered counts as one item toward girl incentives, and adds to the troop’s proceeds. More.
