How Troops/Groups Finance Their Activities

Girl Scout Troops finance their activities by participating in the Fall Product Program and the Cookie Program, by collecting dues, and by planning money-earning projects.

Product Programs - Fall and Cookies

Product Programs are the main way that Girl Scout Troops earn funds for the activities and outings that help them have new experiences. There is more to these programs that meets the eye. They help girls learn essential life skills, too!
