Fall Product Program…

what is it?

Participating in our fall product program is a great

way for girls to start their year with some serious

girl power!

Girls earn rewards and troop funds for special

activities and community service projects.

They also gain valuable life skills along the way! Like

goal setting, decision making, money

management, people skills and business ethics.

Fun Facts

Did you know?

• Koalas are not bears.

• Koalas are nocturnal marsupials famous for

spending most of their lives asleep in

trees…sleeping for up to 18 hours.

• Koalas do not drink much water and they get

most of their moisture from eucalyptus

leaves.

Fun Facts

Did you know?

• The koala mother and her young enjoy a very

close relationship.

• Koalas also communicate with each other by

making a noise like a snore and then a belch,

known as a "bellow“.
