Add noreply@mail.gsnutsandmags.com to your safe sender list to ensure future emails arrive.

📢 Reminder: Girl Scout access to M2OS begins on Go Day, September 20.

The first time you log in to M2OS, you're prompted to watch a training video to learn the basics. This video stays on your dashboard throughout the season for easy access. The Troops - M2OS Quick Tips guide has step-by-step instructions. Need a hand? M2’s Customer Care Team is also ready to help!

Add or verify your troop’s bank info and don’t forget to create your fun avatar! Girl Scouts love seeing their leader’s cool, custom look!

Quick & easy steps to prep your troop:

✅ Hand out snack order cards & Family Guides

        👉Need more? Ask your Community Fall Product Leader.

✅ Verify your Girl Scouts are in M2OS starting September 15

         👉 Missing someone? They need to be registered for 2026-2027.

         👉 Make sure caregiver emails are up to date, as they'll get the GO Day invite.

         👉 Not using M2OS? Have families complete the Responsibility Form. (M2OS users do this automatically at login)

✅ Let families know how to collect snack sale payments: at the time of order or delivery.
