 QSP & Nut Program
The QSP & Nut Program runs in the
fall.
PLEASE NOTE: An error in the Be A Reader Booklet has just come to
our attention. On page one of the Be A Reader booklet in the “What
You Need to Know to Get Started” the web site to go to is
www.gogirlsonly.org,
not the website printed. We do not create these materials. QSP does
and they are approved by GSUSA.
Why Participate in the Fall
Product Sales Program?
Because it is a quick, fun, and safe way for Girl Scout
troops/groups to raise money in the fall.
Why is it quick?
It is over in less than a month (Oct 1-31), and troops/groups see
their share of the funds immediately.
How is it fun?
Magazines make reading fun and the “Be a Reader” Program provides
great Girl Scout Program activities. Also, Girl Scouts will receive
some very nice recognitions for their participation.
How is it safe?
Girls do not take orders door-to-door. They only contact family
members, relatives, and trusted friends. It is an appeal to family
and friends of Girl Scouting to renew their existing subscriptions
and purchase new ones through the Girl Scout Council.
What's involved?
Step 1...
The average American Family
spends over $151 annually on magazines, with about 98% of that
amount leaving the community. Not only can your family and friends
save 75% off the newsstand price of America’s most popular
magazines. 45% of each subscription stays in our area benefiting
your local troop and the programs and trainings the Council provides
for the girls and volunteer leaders.
Step 2...
Girls can ask family and
friends living in other states or communities to help support Girl
Scouts by completing the special referral coupons in the Mail-out
Booklets. QSP will mail information which shows them how to purchase
their favorite publications at the same low prices. Troops will earn
$3.00 for every 10 completed label coupons turned in. We have QSP’s
guarantee that names submitted will not become part of a mailing
list! See next page for information about the Address Adventure
Program.
Step 3
 The
nut and candy portion of the program provides girls the opportunity
to offer their family and friends the option to support Girl Scouts
by purchasing high-quality, delicious nuts and candy. The nuts and
candies are attractively packaged, will be delivered before the
Holidays and make thoughtful gifts or “thank you” presents. This
years program
 will feature a Limited Edition Girl Scout Tin,
and a Holiday Tin.
Fall Product Sales Packets will be available from the Service
Unit Fall Product Sales Manager. Troops registering after Oct. 25
may participate in Step 1 & 2 of the Program.

NetiQuette: online ordering for Reader's Digest
There's a terrific game for your Girl Scout to play about email
etiquette. Once you daughter has learned some great ideas
 about
using email, you will be able to enter email addresses for friends
and family that you think would like to support your daughter. Your
daughter can personalize emails and earn a very cool Netiquette
patch for participating along with $3.00 in troop proceeds for
entering 12 or more email addresses. Simply print out the email
report and submit it to your daughter’s Troop Fall Product Program
Manager for credit.

"Be a Reader" Patch
Activity Project
 Once
again, we are proud to offer the Be a Reader Program, where
girls complete a series of activities designed for all age levels to
encourage reading and reinforce literacy concepts. This year’s
booklet offers fun and exciting activities to help girls explore and
develop self-esteem by focusing on how their minds, emotions and
bodies combine to make them who they are.
 Each
troop will receive a Be a Reader booklet either in your Spring into
Fall packets (if you have meet the eligibility requirements) or from
your Service Unit Fall Product Sales Manager. Girls in all program
levels are invited to work on the Be a Reader activities listed in
the booklet and earn Be a Rea der
patches. Girls completing the program for the first time receives a
large Be a Reader patch; additional years of completion are
recognized with a “Bee,” which is placed around the outside of the
patch.
Be a Reader patches are available for purchase in the Bay Shops.
However, Troops/Groups participating in the Fall Product Sales

these patches free! A list of eligible troops/groups will be

 There’s
lots to explore and adventures at every turn when you take an
exciting USA Amazing Treasure Hunt. Girls complete the address
booklet with names of family and friends and bring it to a troop
meeting. Using the USA Amazing Treasure Hunt map located in
the packets you will receive from the Service Unit Fall Product
Manager, find the state for each address in the booklets and see how
many US treasures you can locate in, or near, that state. The map
also includes travel ideas and exciting learning activities.
As a troop they will have fun learning all about our nation’s many
wonderful treasures. They will be following in the footsteps of Girl
Scouts everywhere who want to discover and enjoy our national gems.
Consider setting a goal that will take you to a special American
