How can I help my Troop earn money?
Ask friends and family to order magazines and/or buy nut or snacks from you to help your Troop earn proceeds to Troop activities and programs. Daisy and Brownie Troops can earn 10% of their sales. Junior, Cadette, Senior and Ambassador Troops can choose to earn 10% Proceeds plus Rewards, or 15% Proceeds with patches, but no Rewards.
Magazines – GSNC’s Mags&Munchies Program offers over 600 Magazine titles that are sold through a Magazine Catalog or online.
Nuts and Snacks - GSNC's Mags&Munchies Program is offering an assortment of snack, chocolate and nut items by Ashdon Farms with Gluten Free and Fat Free options. Each item is delicious, high quality and reasonably priced.
How Can Girl Scouts Sell Mags&Munchies?
Contact your local friends and family, asking if you would be interested in purchasing Nut/Snack Products.
Send emails through the Online Magazine Program to out-of-town friends and family to sell magazine subscriptions
Post your goals on Facebook and other forms of Social Media to let everyone know how they can support you and your Troop. Be sure to include information on the types of product you are selling.
What if my Friends and Family Don’t Want to Purchase Mags&Munchies for Themselves?
If your friends and family aren’t interested in purchasing Mags&Munchies for themselves; ask them if they would be interested in donating to Operation Stop Hunger or Project Thank You!
Operation Stop Hunger - A $5.00 donation to Operation Stop Hunger sends a nut/snack item to Island Harvest for a family in need.
Project Thank You - A $5.00 donation to Project Thank You provides local military/veterans with a magazine voucher that allows them to select a publication of their choice.
Through the Mags&Munchies Program, GSNC encourages girls to set sales goals that they wish to achieve. Girl Scouts can earn rewards for selling Magazines, rewards for selling Nuts/Snacks and rewards for selling a combination of Mags&Munchies. Rewards are cumulative and girls will receive all rewards up to the amount they have sold.
What are the Five Skills and how can they help me in the future?
Goal Setting - Girls learn how to set goals and meet deadlines.
Decision Making - Girl Scouting teaches girls how to use research to develop a plan and work as a team.
Money Management - Girls learn to make change, plan and budget their funds.
People Skills - Girls gain confidence learning how to deal with different types of people.
Business Ethics - Girl Scouting teaches girls to be honest, trustworthy and reliable.
Girls who have learned these skills will be poised for success in their personal and professional life. Employers look for candidates who have abilities in these areas.
The Be a Reader Program is designed to engage girls in learning and earning activities which focus on goal setting, money management and entrepreneurship that tie in with the Mags&Munchies theme.
