Calling all GSNI Girl Scouts and troops to participate in the 2023 Fall Product Program!
It’s EASY
• Girl Scouts set-up and personalize their M2OS platform as their program headquarters! Girl Scouts create their own M2 Avatar.
• Girl Scouts can earn up to 6 different patches including the Personalized M2 Avatar patch. Girl Scouts can also complete the first step towards earning the Fall & Cookie Crossover Personalized M2 Avatar patch.
• Girl Scouts grow their entrepreneurial skills and participate by selling delicious nuts and chocolates online, in-person or both and magazines, and NEW Tervis® tumblers and Girl Scout exclusive BarkBox online!

and PROFITABLE!
• Troops earn 17% in troop proceeds at the beginning of the year!
• If each Girl Scout in a troop of 12 girls each achieve just $50 in sales, the troop would earn $102! This is approximately 5-9 nut and chocolate items, 2-3 magazine subscriptions/tumblers or BarkBox or a combination of both per Girl Scout.
