Fall Nut Sale

2012 Nuts About Reading Program:

What Can a Girl Do?

This year we will be participating in The Nuts About Reading Program.

The Nuts About Reading Program runs from September 17, 2012 through October 22, 2012.
We will need your signed Parent/Guardian Consent Agreement form in order for your child to participate in product sales. Copies of this form will be available during the first meeting on September 21.

There are several components to the Nuts About Reading Program:

1. Visit the QSP Online/Nut Program and help her send emails to friends and families to purchase magazines online--plus, if she sends out 12 emails, she'll receive the "Online Marketing" Patch! ~ Please note that at the end of the program, she will need to print off the "Detailed Order Report" and turn this in to Ms. Aymee to get credit for the orders that she has received.

2. Also, if your Girl Scout completes and submits the address booklet included in the Girl Packet, she will earn the "Together to the Top" patch and earn $3.00 for the troop. This will also need to be turned in to Ms. Aymee at the end of the program.

3. Sell nuts and magazines to family and friends!

Program proceeds
The troop will receive the following:
$0.75 for each nut/candy items sold
10% of each magazine subscription order
$3.00 for each completed magazine address booklet

This program is for girls to sell to family and friends. So, I believe we set our goals to reflect that.

Our goal is for each girl to sell at a minimum the following:

3 magazine subscriptions
10 nut/candy items

I know this is our first time participating in this program, so I am sure there will be many questions. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Troops/groups are encouraged to participate in GSEP Product Programs. Please note that groups/troops wishing to secure outside fundraisers must participate in both the Cookie Program and the Nuts About Reading Program in order to qualify for approval of additional fundraising. During the course of GSEP Product Programs, no outside fundraisers are permitted; any group money-earning should not compete with Girl Scout Product Programs.
