The Fall Product Program gives troops a chance to earn startup money for their Girl Scout year. They can use the funds they earn to enjoy new and exciting opportunities right away. Your family and friends can stock up on magazines, nuts, chocolate, and candies while supporting your girl.
Fall Product also makes perfect holiday gifts!
The Fall Product Program is one of two Girl Scouts Heart of the South sponsored programs that combine educational activities with money earning opportunities for our troops. Girls develop important skills that they can use throughout their lives: goal setting, decision-making, business ethics, people skills and money management.
The nuts and candy are delicious and designed specifically for the Girl Scouts, and the magazine program is a great opportunity to renew existing subscriptions or suggest friends and family try out that new magazine they’ve been considering while supporting Girl Scouts.
Every girl can participate!
Every Girl Scout can participate in the Fall Product Program even if her troop isn't! Girls learn the 5 key skills, work towards earning their Financial Literacy badge, and receive awesome rewards for reaching different levels! Ask your troop leader how, or give us a call at 800.624.4185.

Training Reminders
Girls and their families must always decide whether or not to participate. Leaders do not make that decision for them!
Any registered girl can participate in the Fall Product Program, including girls registered as individuals or not in the traditional troop setting.
Encourage Troop Leaders to appoint parents or another volunteer to help as Troop Fall Product Managers. This helps take the pressure off the leaders and keeps parents involved.
Encourage TFPMs to visit this Fall Product page or our Google Docs page.
Encourage Troops to sit down with their girls and set troop goals. Have Troops encourage girls and their families to set individual goals as well.
The Troop Fall Product Manager Guide located on this page and Family Fall Product Guide may help answer additional questions after the training. Review key points from each page; there is no need to read the booklet word-for-word.
DISPEL THE MYTHS
“We can’t do it because the schools do it at the same time!”
This is not necessarily a door-to-door sale; it’s a family and friends activity. Simply encourage your friends and family to “order their favorite magazines and nut products from their favorite Girl Scout."
“It doesn’t matter if we do it or not!”
We are all a part of Girl Scouts Heart of the South. In order to provide the programs, activities, and services offered, it takes everyone to participate in both Council-sponsored, money-earning activities.
Nut & Candy Delivery
As Service Unit Fall Product Coordinator, you are responsible for securing your service unit delivery site.
Excellent delivery site locations are fire stations, National Guard Armories, schools, churches, businesses, and warehouses.
If your site has access to an available covered loading dock, it’s even better! Even though the business is open, they may have an unused dock or area available.
All products should be picked up the same day so overnight security will not be a factor.
Helpful Hints:
Planning early helps you select and secure the best possible location for your troops and delivery agent. The people donating their space and time appreciate the advance notice so they can plan accordingly.
Check with prior Service Unit Fall Product Coordinators or ask long-time community people for recommendations.
What makes a good delivery site?
- Streets and parking area must be wide/long enough for a large delivery truck to maneuver without backing into yards or off driveways and with no low hanging power/phone lines.
- The delivery truck and Troop Fall Product Managers need to be able to get close to the entry door for loading and unloading.
- Locations which have a forklift on premises are beneficial and will make your job easier.
- Entry door opens into the room in which items are stacked rather than having to maneuver up and down stairs or through a maze of hallways.
- Room should be large enough to accommodate all the nut & candy items, and room enough to separate by troops.
- Try to choose a location that is easily found and central in your Service Unit.
Proceeds
SERVICE UNIT PROCEEDS*
* All troop and service unit proceeds are reviewed annually and are subject to change.
1%! Service Units earn 1% of all items sold within their area!
1% BONUS FOR 5% SALES INCREASE
Service Units can earn a
bonus of 1% of all items sold within their area IF there is a
5% increase in sales over the previous year for their service unit.
1% BONUS FOR 85% PARTICIPATION
Service Units can earn a bonus of 1% of all items sold within their area IF they have 85% of the registered girls in their area participating in the Fall Product Program. Numbers will be based from registered girls as of November 1, 2024.
The Service Unit has the potential to earn a total of 3% from their sales.
- The Council does not encourage troops or service units to cover a parent’s debt to ensure the bonus for any amount.
- If a troop or service unit remits payment for a parent’s outstanding balance, then the troop or service unit is responsible for collection of this debt.
Service Units will receive proceeds via ACH transaction into their Service Unit bank account. Have your Service Unit Finance Chair submit a Service Unit ACH Authorization Form to info@girlscoutshs.org by January 13, 2025.
NOTE:
Service Unit proceeds will be held until the following
have been completed:
- All unregistered girls participating in the Fall Product Program are registered for the current membership year.
- All
troops have at least two full screened and approved volunteers.
- Registered for the current membership year
- Current background check
- Service Unit volunteer team is established
- Service Unit bank account established

PROCEEDS & REWARDS
Individually registered girls that participate and do not align themselves with a troop for the program will accrue rewards at the same rate as a traditionally registered girl and receive Passport Bucks in lieu of troop proceeds. Passport Bucks will be issued at a rate of $5 for every $50 increment in sales. (Example: $100 in total sales = $10 Passport Bucks)
Passport Bucks may be used to pay Council-sponsored program activity fees, resident camp fees, resident camp trading post, and to purchase items in the Council shops; may not be cashed for “real money” and cash will not be given as change; are non-transferable; have no value outside of Girl Scouts Heart of the South; expire September 5, 2025. Passport Bucks will only be issued if balance is paid in full.
Individually Registered Girls
INDIVIDUALLY REGISTERED GIRL SCOUTS
Service Unit Fall Product Coordinators will be responsible for individually registered girls participating; making sure they are trained, collecting parent permission slips, orders and payments, entering orders and rewards in M2OS, and distributing product and rewards.
M2 ONLINE SYSTEM
For orders to be placed online, individually registered girls must be assigned a “troop” number. A specific number has been assigned for each service unit to place orders online.
All individually registered girls’ orders will be placed under this specific number so that her orders arrive with the rest of the SU’s delivery.
This number has no meaning outside of the Fall Product Program; it is only to process their order. This number is simply a “99” in front of the SU number (example: 99236 for Alcorn County and 99327 for Washington County.)
PROCEEDS & REWARDS
Individually registered girls that participate and do not align themselves with a troop for the program will accrue rewards at the same rate as a traditionally registered girl and receive Passport Bucks in lieu of troop proceeds. Passport Bucks will be issued at a rate of $5 for every $50 increment in sales. (Example: $100 in total sales = $10 Passport Bucks)

- Once "Without Rewards" is selected, it cannot be changed for the remainder of the program.
Service Unit Proceeds
SERVICE UNIT PROCEEDS
1% - SERVICE UNITS EARN 1% OF ALL ITEMS SOLD WITHIN THEIR AREA!
1% - BONUS FOR 5% SALES INCREASE - Service Units can earn a bonus of 1% of all items sold within their area IF there is a 5% increase in sales over the previous year for their service unit.
1% BONUS FOR 85% PARTICIPATION - Service Units can earn a bonus of 1% of all items sold within their area IF they have 85% of the registered girls in their area participating in the Fall Product Program. Numbers will be based off of registered girls as of November 1st, 2024.
The Service Unit has the potential to earn a total of 3% from their sales.
NOTE:
Service Unit proceeds will be held until:
- All unregistered girls participating in the Fall Product Program are registered for the current membership year.
- All troops have at least two fully screened and approved volunteers.
- Service Unit ACH form, MY25 budget, bank statements, and MY24 financial reports are submitted.
Product Program Proceeds & Standards
- Troops should be financed by troop money-earning activities and by a share of money earned through Council-sponsored product sales.
- Girl Scouts engage in troop budgeting activities that help them to learn money management. The girls are part of the decision-making process in determining troop dues, troop money-earning projects and uses of collective funds. The funds are for Girl Scout activities and are not to be retained by individuals as their property.
- Girl Scouts may not raise money for other organizations. However, girls may contribute a portion of their troop treasury to organizations or projects they consider worthwhile (for example, local or international community service organizations or environmental projects).
- Girls should be encouraged to designate a portion of their troop treasury for the annual membership dues of all troop members. This is a sound and efficient practice that enables girls to meet membership dues and lessens the potential burden to individual members.
- All proceeds earned by girls through product activities must support Girl Scout program experiences for girls (such as camp, troop travel and program events, but not scholarships or financial credits toward outside organizations). Individual gift cards or individual tickets to external establishments would not be within guidance.
Example:
ACCEPTED: Tickets for a troop trip to the zoo.
NOT ACCEPTED: Tickets given to an individual girl or her family to the zoo.
- Do not reimburse girls for experiences. Travel and event rewards should be Girl Scout-hosted and -funded. If a girl is unable to attend an event sponsored by the troop, she is not to be reimbursed for the funding that would have been spent for her experience.
- Proceeds received by a troop are non-transferable. Girls who leave the troop or leave Girl Scouts are not entitled to proceeds earned while in the troop when they leave. Proceeds do not follow the girls.
- Proceeds may only be allocated to Girl Scout troops for Girl Scout program activities. Cash based accounts may not be kept for or distributed to individual girls. Do not track proceeds for individual girls in any pathway — either by Council or troop.
FAQs
Communication, knowledge and execution are key components to any successful venture. This FAQ will better explain the fiscal responsibility and participant accountability that is expected from girls, caregivers and volunteers involved in our Fall Product Program.
Who can participate in the Fall Product Program?
Every registered Girl Scout, regardless of troop participation, who does not have an outstanding balance from previous Fall Product or Cookie Program.
Is it required for a troop to participate in the Fall Product Program and the Girl Scout Cookie Program?
No. Troops can participate or not in either program, but participation is required if they want to participate in additional money-earning activities. Additional troop money-earning activities are not permitted during the Fall Product, and Cookie Program dates. Girls also do not qualify for Financial Assistance from the council if they do not participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program.
How does an adult leader or Troop Fall Product Manager sign up to participate in the Fall Product Program?
Register for the current membership year. Troops must have two fully screened and approved volunteers (registered with background checks). Then attend Fall Product training in your area, submit a Troop Program Product Manager Agreement and Policies, and ACH Form to the Service Unit Fall Product Coordinator/Council. No volunteer may have an outstanding balance from any previous Girl Scout Product Program.
What are the dates for Fall Product Program?
Girls can start selling beginning September 7th, 2024. Girls submit nut/candy orders to troops by October 11th, 2024. Girls turn in final payment for items not sold online to your Troop by December 1st, 2024.
My troop does not want to participate, but I have an individual girl(s) who does. What do I need to do?
Girls can participate as registered individuals with a responsible adult who is willing to be trained as Troop Fall Product Manager and sign a Troop Product Program Manager Agreement and Policies. If a caregiver or other adult is not able to do so, her leader, Service Unit Fall Product Coordinator, or the council can help with the program. However, each troop participating must have two fully screened and approved volunteers, meaning all troops must have two registered adults with a current background check to participate.
How can I encourage my troop and their caregivers to participate online?
All girls have to do is send emails to their family and friends and watch the orders add up. Their friends and relatives on Facebook would love to help out by ordering. Customers like to purchase online because they can use their debit/credit card and take their time making selections. No door-to-door selling is necessary when you use the computer; there is no money to handle; subscriptions are filled out correctly, and there are no delays with delivery.
How do we get proceeds from the orders sold online?
M2 Online System will calculate all proceeds from online and in-person sales and subtract it from the total the troop owes at the end of the program. If a troop has not sold in-person nut and candy items and has no balance to remit, the council will issue a payment for any proceeds owed to the troop for online sales via ACH transaction to the troop’s bank account.
How can my troop participate if I don’t have access to a computer?
Ask a responsible caregiver or volunteer who does have access to a computer to be the Troop Product Program Manager for your troop. They need to be registered, complete a Troop Product Program Manager Agreement and Policies, and ACH Form and follow the same guidelines as any other volunteer.
Who do I call if I have a problem?
Contact your Service Unit Fall Product Coordinator first, then contact Council Customer Care at 1-800-624-4185, or info@girlscoutshs.org.
When do we collect payment from the customer?
If orders are sold online, the customer will pay online with a debit/credit card. Payment for nuts/candy in-person orders is due when product is delivered. However, some troops and/or service units may require payment for nut/candy items to be collected at the time of order.
What do I do if I have a caregiver who does not want to pay?
Let the Service Unit Fall Product Coordinator know as soon as possible that you are having a problem. Fill out the outstanding balance form and submit through the ACH Shortage Form along with the signed permission slip and signed paperwork/receipts from when the caregiver picked up product. Turn these in by the deadline set by the council. Do not delay your troop’s payment waiting on a caregiver. Do not use troop proceeds to pay a caregiver’s outstanding balance. If outstanding balance paperwork is not received by December 4th, 2024 for any caregiver debt, then the Troop will be responsible for any debts owed to the council.
Will we be able to get extra product?
Each Girl Scout Leadership Center will have a limited amount of extra product.
Can non-registered girls or troops participate in product sales?
No. All troops and girls must be registered to participate in any council product sale program.
What is the Caregiver Permission Form?
This form outlines the caregiver's financial responsibility to the council. Troops must collect this form before giving order cards and sales materials. Caregivers and girls should never be allowed to participate in a product sale without having submitted a completed permission form.
What is the Troop Product Program Manager Agreement and Policies Form?
This form outlines the Troop Leader/Fall Product Manager’s financial responsibility to the council. Service Unit Fall Product Coordinators should collect this form before giving sales materials. Troops will not be allowed to participate in a product sale without having submitted a completed agreement form.
Do you need my Social Security Number?
Yes. In order to receive product sale material and/or products we must have an identifier for the person signing the Caregiver Permission Form and/or Product Program Manager Agreement and Policies. If you do not feel comfortable with giving the full number, we must have the last four digits of your social security number and full date of birth. The council cannot proceed with collections through the credit bureau if we do not have this information. Caregivers might also be asked to pay up front for products if this information is not provided to the troop. All personal information is kept secure and confidential.
How do we pay council?
Once money is collected from girls for nut and candy orders, it needs to be deposited into your troop bank account. After all nut and candy orders and all online sales are finalized in the system, M2 Online System will calculate proceeds for all. An automated clearing house (ACH) transaction will remove the balance due to the council from your troop bank account.
What is ACH?
ACH stands for Automated Clearing House, which allows the council to automatically withdraw a payment from a troop’s checking account on a specified date. Troops must fill out an ACH Debit Authorization form and submit to council. This process saves volunteers time turning in payments to council offices.
Is ACH Payment Mandatory?
Yes. Girl Scouts Heart of the South Council requires payment via ACH for all Product Program accounts. ACH forms must be submitted to the council by the designated deadlines. Full payment, minus troop proceeds, must be available in the troop’s bank account for ACH draft on December 9th, 2024.
What if my troop does not have the full ACH draft amount in the bank account?
If a troop does not have the full amount due to the council in their bank account for the draft on December 9th, they must communicate any shortages to the council by December 4th at 5 p.m. via the ACH Shortage Form. Troops that do not make the council aware of account shortages by the deadline will be responsible for any and all fees associated with the transaction.
Do troops accept personal checks?
It is at the troop’s discretion whether they will accept personal checks or not (from caregivers and/or customers). If they choose to do so, those checks will be deposited into the troop account; the troop will be responsible for collecting on any checks that are returned for insufficient funds, closed account, etc.
Are receipts necessary?
Yes. Receipts are to be used for all transactions, both product and money. Signatures must be obtained from both parties when any type of exchange occurs. If there are discrepancies, the receipts and paperwork will verify the transaction in question.
How do I handle online items purchased?
Customers will pay online by credit card directly to M2 Online System. Since customers pay M2 directly, troops will not remit payment to the council for these orders. M2 Online System will deduct all proceeds and payments made to the council (including online) to show a balance due for each troop.
What if a caregiver is on the Debtors List?
If a caregiver is on the debtors list, then their girl will not be allowed to participate in any product sales until her balance is paid in full.
What if a caregiver consistently pays late?
If they do not have a current balance due, then this girl can participate in the program. However, troops should require frequent payments, payment up front for product or only allow them to participate in sales that do not require the handling of money (booth sales, online sales, etc.).
What if a Troop Leader/Troop Fall Product Manager is on the Debtors List?
If a Troop Leader/ Troop Fall Product Manager is on the debtors list, they will not be allowed to participate in any product sales until the balance is paid in full. The troop will need to have a different volunteer take the Troop Fall Product Manager position and payment arrangements made for any debt in order for the girls in that troop to participate. This troop may be required to provide payment up front for product or will be allowed to participate online only.
What if a caregiver does not pick up product?
If a caregiver/girl fails to pick up product in a timely manner, do not wait to notify your Service Unit Fall Product Coordinator or the council. If you wait until the end of the program, it is much more difficult to find someone that needs the product, and it is most likely too late for anyone to help.
- Have other girls in the troop help to sell the product. Be sure to transfer product to the appropriate girl for her to receive credit.
- Contact other troops in your area to see if they need extra product.
- If product remains at the end of the program, complete an Outstanding Balance Form on the caregiver and submit it, along with all documentation to the council.
What is the Outstanding Balance Form?
An Outstanding Balance Form outlines the responsible party and all information for a debt to the council. This form should be completed for any caregiver or troop with a remaining balance at the end of the program.
What documentation is to be submitted with a Caregiver Outstanding Balance Form?
Troops must submit the signed Caregiver Permission Form, balance due, all receipts for product and money, notes on all attempts to collect, and any other pertinent information for the debt.
What if there is a caregiver with a remaining balance at the end of the program?
If a troop is unable to collect money from a caregiver, the Troop Fall Product Manager should keep a record of all contact attempting a resolution and contact the Service Unit Fall Product Coordinator. If further assistance becomes necessary, the Troop Fall Product Manager must complete an Outstanding Balance Form and attach a signed Caregiver Permission Form, receipts, all documentation of correspondence and amount due. An Outstanding Balance form and all necessary paperwork for each caregiver with a remaining balance must be submitted with the ACH Shortage Form or the troop will be held liable for those funds.
What if a Caregiver Outstanding Balance Form is not submitted to the council?
An Outstanding Balance Form for each caregiver with a remaining balance must be submitted to the council with all documentation. If a form is not submitted by the designated deadline date, the troop will be held liable for the balance due.
Should a troop pay a caregiver’s debt to the council?
No. Troops should never cover a caregiver’s debt to the council. If this does happen, then the debt is owed to the troop (not the council) and the troop is responsible for collecting payment from the caregiver. The council can assist the troop by sending letters to the caregiver regarding the balance due, but cannot take further action (collection agency, legal action, etc.). The debt is ultimately the responsibility of the troop to collect.
What if there is a troop with a remaining balance?
If a troop has a remaining balance, the service unit must complete an Outstanding Balance Form on the Troop Leader/ Troop Product Program Manager and submit it along with all documentation. The Troop Product Program Manager Agreement should already be on file at the council office.
What documentation is to be submitted with a Troop Outstanding Balance Form?
Service units must submit balance due, all receipts for product and money, notes on all attempts to collect, and any other pertinent information for the debt. The signed Troop Product Program Manager Agreement should already be on file with the Council office.
Should a service unit pay a troop’s debt to the council?
No. Service units should never cover a troop’s debt to the council. If this does happen, then the debt is owed to the service unit (not the council) and the service unit is responsible for collecting payment from the troop. The council can assist the service unit by sending letters to the troop regarding the balance due, but cannot take further action (collection agency, legal action, etc.). The debt is ultimately the responsibility of the service unit to collect.
What if there are extenuating circumstances that cause a debt?
Circumstances that may require special arrangements for payment will be handled on a case-by-case basis. These may include serious illness or death in the family, fire, theft and auto accidents. You will be required to provide proof and/or documentation in these instances. In the case of theft documented by a police report, the council would expect the loss to be covered by personal insurance and additional time will be allowed to collect from insurance. If not covered by insurance and not properly documented, payment in full is expected by the due date.
Automated Clearing House (ACH)
Girl Scouts Heart of the South accepts payments via Automated Clearing House (ACH) for Troop’s Product Program payments. Therefore, GSHS will automatically withdraw payments for Fall Product from Girl Scout Troop accounts.
PROCESS OF ACH
- Each troop must have an active GSHS troop bank account.
- Each troop is required to complete and submit an ACH Authorization and Bank Information Form with a voided troop check or letter from the bank with account and routing information attached. All ACH authorization forms must be submitted to the Council at info@girlscoutshs.org by October 1st, 2024 for the Fall Product Program for troops to place their nut/candy order.
- GSHS will complete one (1) draft for Fall Product from troop accounts.
- Troop's balance will be visible in the M2 Online System on the troop dashboard.
- Troops are required to have funds available in their troop account according to the deadlines below:
- December 4th, 2024 - ACH shortage information due to Council *Shortage information deadlines are FIRM deadlines.
- December 9th, 2024 - ACH draft from Troop bank account
- If an emergency arises and a troop does not have all funds available for the drafts, troop volunteers must complete the ACH Shortage Form prior to the deadlines outlined above. Information should include the following:
- Service Unit and Troop number
- Amount to be withdrawn from account via ACH
- When full balance is anticipated
- What caused the shortage of funds
- Outstanding Balance forms and other documentation
- Troops that do not make GSHS aware of account shortages by the deadlines outlined will be responsible for any and all insufficient fund fees associated with the transaction.
- An email will be sent through M2 Online System prior to the ACH sweep, informing troops of the transaction timeframe. Please note that transactions can take between 24 to 48 hours to show on the troop account.
- Once the drafts are complete and confirmed by the bank, payments will be uploaded in M2 Online System and will appear on each troop’s Deposit Tab. Payments will also be recorded on reports within the online systems.
- Should a troop have an overpayment, the overpayment amount will be electronically deposited in the account provided.
- Service Units will have product program proceeds electronically deposited into Service Unit bank accounts provided.
