CARE TO SHARE PROGRAM

INTERACT AND ENCOURAGE THEM!

This fall when a Girl Scout asks you if you’d like to make a purchase this fall, look her in the eye, ask her questions about her goals, and support her entrepreneurial spirit. You may be helping a future CEO with her very first sale!

HOW TO ORDER

In October, troops will hand out order forms and instructions to the girls for selling nuts, and snack items. All items except Care to Share can also be ordered online! Five special nut & snack products are available online that are excellent holiday corporate gifts. Each one can be shipped directly to the gift recipient. Girls can start taking orders on October 5, 2014!
