M2OS Registration Emails & First Steps
|
M2OS is your troop’s online hub for the Fall FUNDraiser, where Girl Scouts can sell online. You'll receive a registration email the week of September 16. If you don’t get it, check your junk folder or email us. Add noreply@mail.gsnutsandmags.com to your safe sender list to ensure future emails arrive.
Reminder: Girl Scouts will not be able to access M2OS until Go Day, September 23
|
|
|
Once you login to M2OS, you’ll watch a short training video to learn the basics of the system. This video will be available on your dashboard to reference any time you need a quick refresher. Check out our M2OS Quick Tip Sheets for both troops and families to learn all the things you and your Girl Scouts can do in M2OS.
M2’s Customer Care Team is also available to help you troubleshoot any issues for both troops and Girl Scouts.
|
Don’t forget to add or verify your troop bank account information. Plus, create and personalize your avatar. There are a ton of fun ways to personalize your avatar and Girl Scouts love to see their troop leader’s avatar!
|
Follow these easy steps to ensure the Girl Scouts in your troop are ready to go for Go Day on September 23:
|
- Distribute snack order cards and Family Guides to each participating Girl Scout
- Connect with your Community or Area Product Leader if you need more!
-
If a Girl Scout in your troop is not utilizing M20S for their sale, direct those families to complete the Fall FUNDraiser Family Responsibility Form.
-
All Girl Scouts who use M20S for their Fall FUNDraiser sale in 2024 will complete the Responsibility Form at first login. No additional action is needed from you!
- Review the list of Girl Scouts in M2OS. If a troop member is not listed, remind the family to complete registration. Only Girl Scouts who are registered for the 2024-2025 year will be uploaded.
- The email address for each Girl Scout’s primary caregiver will also be added to M2OS for the parent/adult email blast. Update email addresses if needed so caregivers will get an email on Go Day with an invitation to set up their account.
- Instruct families on how to collect money for any snack order card sales (either at the time of order or delivery)
- Remind families about Go Day and share the link for the Selling Resources for helpful info
|
Girl Scouts can help their troop earn proceeds and earn rewards like interlocking patches, Fall FUNds, and Peanut the elephant plush. A popular reward is the personalized patch, earned by creating an avatar in M2OS, sending 17 emails through the system, and selling $475+ in fall items. Visit our Fall FUNDraiser Rewards page for more details.

Fall FUNDraiser Virtual Kick-off Rally & Training Reminder! |
Join us for the Fall FUNDraiser Virtual Kick-off Rally, tonight at 6:30 PM. Your Girl Scouts can view the event on our Girl Scouts River Valleys Facebook and YouTube pages.
After the rally, stay to join us at 7:05 PM, we will be hosting a virtual Fall FUNDraiser training for troop leaders and troop fall product managers. There is still time to register for this event, but the training will be posted in gsLearn if you are unable to attend.

M2OS Community & Area Level Access
|
You will receive an email with a link to register your M2OS account the week of September 16th. If you're also a troop volunteer, you will have access to both the troop and community/area from the same link. Check out our M2OS Quick Tips Sheet for Communities for info on how to navigate the system. If you have any issues, contact us.
|
Before Go Day, we'll email your Community's snack delivery date, scheduled between November 18-21. The delivery time-frame will be sent the week prior. Deliveries can go to homes, workplaces, or community buildings, and an adult must verify the order at the time of the delivery. Enter your delivery location and reward shipping address in M2OS. Check the M2OS Quick Tips Sheets for instructions. Share the delivery info with your troops to assist their planning.
