GREAT for NEW or LATE STARTING TROOPS!
There's still plenty of time for girls to collect online orders from friends and family! Even girls and troops that are just starting can participate.Encourage parents to register their Girl Scout's online ordering site and send emails to friends and family asking them to purchase nuts, candy, magazines, photo keepsakes, candles, tumblers, and Organic Veggies. They can access the site by visiting gswpa.org/magnut-resources and clicking on the Cat.
Emphasize that selling online is EASY! Spread the word!
Troop Bank Information
Troop banking information has been uploaded into UNIFY. If no bank account name appears under Financials from the menu, you will need to submit an ACH Authorization Form. If you are a new troop or have made changes to your bank information, a new ACH Authorization Form is to be completed and submitted as directed by Nov. 22.MyCreation Patch
Girls and leaders are loving the "MyCreation" activity on QSP where they can customize their own cat mascot. Even troop leaders can create their own unique cat!- Girls with $200 or more in online sales will receive their creation as a patch! Visit the QSP site to create yours.
- Troop MagNut managers can also earn the patch with $750 in troop online sales.
Once the level has been achieved, the girl will receive an email to finalize her patch and provide an address for shipping.
Thanks for everything you do to support Girl Scouts and the MagNut Program!
