Girl Scouts can earn rewards for selling products and magazines through order taking and online sales. With Individual Reward items, each girl earns the rewards that coincide with the level of product and magazines sold. Individual reward items are cumulative for all reward levels. Girl Scouts as a troop, can work towards Individual Reward items or can opt to earn an additional 2% through Additional Proceeds. Each troop must decide, by majority vote, on their plan before the start of the Fall Product Program activities. To qualify, each Girl Scout and Parent/Guardian must acknowledge acceptance of the Additional Proceeds option with signatures below. Troops choosing Additional Proceeds qualify for all patches available.

Rewards Waiver for Additional Proceeds Only
- I am aware of the troop’s vote to opt out of any Individual Rewards and participate in the Additional Proceeds option.
- I understand my Girl Scout will be eligible to earn all of the available patches.
I, Parent/Guardian name, am aware and agree to opt-out of rewards in exchange for the troop to receive an additional 2% of proceeds and understand that my Girl Scout,
Girl Scout name, will receive ONLY patches for participating in the 2023 Fall Product Program.
