Photo keepsakes are a wonderful gift options-consider a photo book, calendar, cards or invitations as part of your seasonal gift giving, or choose from hundreds of magazine titles and e-books.

Girls are again proudly supporting Project Share though the fall product program. If customers don't want to purchase items as gifts or for themselves, they can donate to the military in $5 increments.

A $5 donation purchases one nut or candy item and four $5 donations purchases one magazine subscription for a military service member.

All candy, nuts, and subscriptions are ordered virtually by girls and donated directly to the military. Girls who receive two $5 donations toward the Gift of Caring Project Share earn a colorful Share Patch for their commitment to the military.

This year's fall product theme is "Be Brilliant …Shine On! Explore Something Different!" The fall product program provides girls with an opportunity to run their own business and earn rewards and troop funds for selected Girl Scout activities.

Girls who participate in the fall product program gain social and practical life skills for their future success. They get first-hand experience in financial literacy and begin to master the five skills including, goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. Troop funds earned through the sale of fall products support girls in their choice of adventures throughout the Girl Scout year.
