“The Nut, Candy & Magazine (NCM) Program is an integral part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience where girls gain hands-on experience with five skills linked to leadership and financial literacy,” said Kelly Jansen, GSSI Product Program Manager.  “I am so excited to work with our girls and volunteers to make this year’s Girl Scout Nut, Candy & Magazine Program the most successful ever,” she added.  “When you see a girl selling, please support her by ordering one of the yummy Girl Scout treats or purchase a magazine, this will help her achieve her sales goals and learn valuable business skills,” Jansen added.

The Girl Scout Nut, Candy & Magazine Program generates immeasurable results for girls and their communities.  Girls who participate in the 2015 Fall Product Program benefit from “learning by earning” and develop five valuable life skills – goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.  In addition, proceeds from the program help Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSSI) recruit and train adult volunteers, provide financial assistance so Girl Scouting is available to all girls, improve and maintain camp properties and develop and deliver unique leadership program activities for girls.
