🌟 Girl Scouts can jump into M2OS on GO Day, this Sunday, September 20. They start their sale in two ways:

Once set up, they can create their avatar, visit their avatar room, view the sales tools, sell online, track orders, and get weekly updates on their sales progress.

One of the great perks of the Fall FUNDraiser are the customizable participation options, where Girl Scouts choose how they want to sell. There’s even an option to sell totally online. Share this information with your troop families:

Online Magazines & More

Email or text the custom M2OS link—or post it on social media. Customers shop, pay online, and get their items shipped right to them.

Online Snacks

Same as above—but with snacks. Choose who can get local delivery, or let all customers order snacks shipped to their door. 

Snack Order Card

Call, text, video chat, or ask in person. Write down selections on the order card, then enter them into M2OS.

Check the new Cookie Central for this year's Fall FUNDraiser Rewards or view the rewards on the snack order card. Learn more about Fall FUNds, weekly giveaways, theme items, and patches, including the personalized patches.

Any Girl Scout who sells at least one item between September 20 - September 26 is automatically entered to win the giant kangaroo in the photo.

When at least one Girl Scout from your troop makes a sale that week, your troop is entered to win the exclusive Girl Scout green wagon in the photo. 

Winners will be announced the following Monday, starting September 28. 

Reach out to troops in your area via email, text, Rallyhood, or social media to offer support and share updates. Share the info about the new proceeds and the direct to troop delivery, plus remind them they can join anytime through October 21.

Juliettes are added to M2OS with a “J” followed by their unique Juliette number. They will also be sent deposit slips to use for depositing snack order card money to the Girl Scouts River Valleys Wells Fargo bank account. If you have any questions about working with Juliettes, reach out to us at girlscouts@girlscoutsrv.org or call 800-845-0787.
