Fall Product Program

Our Fall Product Program gives troops a chance to earn startup funds without having to wait until cookie time in the winter. They can use the money they earn to enjoy new and exciting opportunities right away!
Girls also learn goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics through their participation in our product programs.
