Fall Product Resources | Girl Scouts of Western Ohio

Ready to Explore. Have fun with the Fall Product Program!

Everyone knows we sell cookies in the winter, but did you know we also sell goodies in the fall?

By participating in the Fall Product Program, your Girl Scouts can start earning funds near the beginning of the membership year without having to wait for the Cookie Program! They'll be eligible for sweet rewards and exclusive program opportunities, and they'll get to practice five skills that will last a lifetime: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.

The Fall Product Program is fun, low stakes, and can be completely paperless! Check out the resources below for everything you need to get started.

Care to Share Donation Program toggle arrow

Introducing: Sweets for Seniors!

When customers don’t want to buy for themselves, invite them to make a meaningful purchase through Care to Share. For just $8, they can donate a product to local senior citizens who receive meals through mobile meal delivery charities. It’s a simple gesture with lasting kindness—last year alone, girls helped deliver over 4,000 smiles. Every donation warms a heart and strengthens our community.

This year, we have partnered with the following organizations to deliver donated fall product sweets to area senior citizens.

Mobile Meals of Toledo
Area Office on Aging 3 (Lima)
Senior Resource Connection (Dayton)
Meals on Wheels of Southwest Ohio & Northern Kentucky

Download the Care to Share Receipt to provide to customers who support with a donation purchase.

Credit Card Processing toggle arrow

The Fall Product Program offers a user-friendly M2 website that is perfect for customers wanting to pay with a credit card. Girls can share their store front link with customers for direct purchases on the site. Customers can choose to pay for shipping or opt for free "girl delivery." If girl delivery is selected, then once the products arrive, families simply just deliver to customers, as the items are already paid for!

Troop Volunteers — Action Steps Before the Program Begins

Be sure that your troop has a designated troop fall product manager! This person will be the volunteer in chage of the program for the girls. They need to be registered as a Troop Assistant - Fall Product Manager and complete the online agreement form. This agreement form must be completed before access can be granted to M2, the online system needed to properly manage the Fall Product Program.

In September, connect with your service unit fall product coordinator to pick up your program materials prior to the start of the program in October.

Once you've completed these first steps, here's what you'll need to do next:

Ensure that all Troop Finanical forms have been completed including the Bank Info Form.
Watch the 2026 Fall Product Program for Experience Leaders training
If you are a new fall manager, sign up for the 2026 Fall Product Program Rookie Webinar
Review the materials, products, and rewards with girls.
Hand out the Guide for Families and paper order cards to girls and caregivers.
When you receive access, set up your M2 account to manage your troop's program.
Utilize the receipts included in your fall materials when providing product to or collecting funds from caregivers. These receipts now serve as their agreement form, so no separate form is needed.
Review this webpage for more details, deadlines, and downloadables.
Follow emails for more details regarding product pickup dates, times, and locations.

ACH Processing & Financial Forms toggle arrow

In the event that a caregiver does not turn in their balance due after several attempts at collection, complete the Unpaid Funds Collection Assistance Form by the required deadline for council to step in and assist your troop with this debt.

If your troop collects a check for payment that later bounces or is returned and debited from your troop bank account for insufficient funds, complete the Check Recovery Form for financial assistance from council.

ACH Processing

Taking care of finances is easier than ever as everything is now handled through Automated Clearing House (ACH) withdrawals. Troops will no longer have to deposit funds into our council bank account using deposits that can be time consuming and hard to track. Now, you deposit all your fall product funds into the troop account, and the council will withdraw what you owe. In an increasingly paperless world, this means that girls, families, and troops will be able to cut down on the deposits, receipts, cash, and checks!

Bank Information

Complete the Bank Information Form*

Have your troop bank account information handy, you’ll need your Routing and Account numbers. *This is required for every troop to participate in all Product Programs. Failure to submit this form will result in product being withheld at delivery.

GSWO will perform one ACH (Automatic Clearing House) withdrawal for the total balance due to council at the end of the Fall Product Program on December 14, 2026. Your troop proceeds are the remaining funds in your troop bank account after collecting all money from orders and the ACH to council has been withdrawn.

Any overage payments to council (meaning all orders were paid online only) will be refunded to the troop bank account via ACH. Should this be the case, troops will be notified of their anticipated deposit amount and date.
