Nuts and Candies

Information for Girls, Troops and Volunteers

Girl Scouts Spirit of Nebraska wants troops to design their future with the 2010 Fall Product Program. This exciting program helps girls learn with skills like goal setting, leadership, communication and teamwork, while providing troops funds to start the year. All proceeds will support Girl Scouts in our council. The money earned will allow girls to take trips, finance troop activities, attend camp and perform community service projects.  For complete details click here.

The 2010 Fall Product Program is for friends and family and offers two (2) incredible product lines; nut and candy products and magazines. Troops may choose to sell one or both of the product lines.

The Fall Product Nut & Candy items include fourteen (14) delicious items. Troops earn .75 ($9.00 per case) for each nut/candy item sold to friends and family between September 17, 2010 and October 14, 2010. Plus the girls earn fantastic recognition items for themselves.
