All troops who participate in the Fall Fundraiser will be invited to an exclusive after-hours event at the St. Paul Girl Scout Shop on December 10!

Be among the first to taste the new Girl Scout Sparkables allergy-friendly cookie, shop after hours, plus enjoy giveaways, and other special surprises. You'll receive an email invitation with the details.

Haven't participated in the Fall Fundraiser yet? There's still time to qualify before the sale ends October 25.

Girl Scouts still have one opportunity left to participate in Daisy Days, with a chance to win Daisy, the new American Girl Doll of the Year for 2027.

Congratulations to our winners! 🎉

As a reminder, daily winners will be posted in the participant notebook in M2OS and contacted by email.

The last day for snack order card sales is Wednesday, October 21, with online sales open through October 25.

Remind families to enter snack order card sales in M2OS, or decide if you'll enter them yourself. Once a deadline passes, users are locked out. If you're entering sales for families, ask them to text or email a photo of the snack order card. No action needed for online snacks, magazines, BarkBoxes, Tervis drinkware, personalized products or candle orders—they’re credited automatically to the Girl Scout.

M2OS Snack Order Card Entry Deadlines:

Find instructions in the M2OS Quick Tips Guide for Troops or share the M2OS Quick Tips Guide for Families with families.

Questions? Contact your Community Product Leader or the Product Program Team at 800-845-0787.  M2’s Customer Care Team is also available to help you troubleshoot any issues.

When a Girl Scout hits a level with a reward choice, families or troops must make the pick in M2OS by October 25 at 11:59 PM otherwise it defaults to Fall FUNds.

➡️ Note: Rewards don’t update instantly, instead they refresh hourly. You may need to come back later to make your selections. M2OS will also send email reminders to those missing an action.

Fall FUNds & Juliette Program Credits:
Choosing Fall FUNds? A card will arrive by mail after the program ends.

For returning Girl Scout Juliettes, Juliette Program Credits will be added to their existing card, and you will receive a letter in the mail. New Juliettes will receive a Juliette Program Credit card in the mail.  

You can use your Fall FUNds for many different things, learn more on the Rewards for Fall FUNDraiser webpage!

There's still time for Girl Scouts to sell at least one item and be automatically entered to win the Warmies of the Week. 

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

Congratulations to Troop 58593 from SaNeCo Ridge and Love B. from Hastings for being our second Weekly Winners!

Next week, our Weekly Winners will be announced on Tuesday, October 13. All winners will also be contacted by email.

Remember to direct troops to use M2OS Quick Tips for Troops and M2OS Quick Tips for Families for help in navigating the online Fall FUNDraiser system. M2’s Customer Care Team is also available to help you troubleshoot any issues for communities, troops, and Girl Scouts. 

Community/Area volunteers can't choose rewards for Girl Scouts. Only troop volunteers and families can enter choices through October 25.

Community volunteers can enter late snack order card sales in M2OS through October 25 at 11:59 PM.

Please share our upcoming Say Yes to the Vest events with your Troop Leaders and Girl Scout families!

Designed especially for new troops and Girl Scouts, these events are a great opportunity to visit the Retail Shop, learn about the uniform pieces, and get help finding the perfect fit. All members are welcome. New troop volunteers will also receive an email invitation soon.

Encourage families to bring a friend to learn more about Girl Scouts and Say Yes to the Vest!

Learn about Civic Action and discover how Girl Scouts can make a difference through badges available in our retail store.

When you shop River Valleys merchandise, you're doing more than picking up badges and gear. Every purchase helps support our mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character. Even better, many of our products are sourced from small businesses, so your purchase also helps support local entrepreneurs.
