Fall FUNDraiser Begins September 21 |
Start the new Girl Scout year with a fast and easy way to earn proceeds through the Fall FUNDraiser. This sale features yummy snacks, magazine subscriptions, exclusive BarkBoxes, Tervis drinkware, and unique personalized items.
The sale begins on Go Day, Sunday, September 21. This year’s mascot is the Grizzly Bear! We have more opportunities for girls to earn rewards plus, our Senior/Ambassador Troops can now opt-out of rewards to earn additional proceeds. Back by popular demand, Troops can earn an early cookie booth selection through participating in the sale. Plus, Troops can score exclusive items if they participate in both Fall and Cookies. Watch your email for more information over the summer.
