• Friends and family of a girl participating in the Fall Program must not market or share a girl’s contact information, sales links, or sales information on public-facing online sites.
• Parents guide their daughters when making individual learning and sales goals. Parents determine the number of products to order and are responsible for payment of all products received.
• Parents are responsible for all money collected from customers.
• Troops set group goals and order products to meet their goals. Parents are asked to respect the troop goals when making decisions about how many products they will be responsible for selling.
• Parents should obtain signed receipts for all products received and for all money submitted to troop.
• Troops may not set quotas for individual girls or require payment from parents in advance.
• Wear your Girl Scout uniform and pins when selling.
