Girl Scouts of Western Ohio staff are dedicated to making the 2008 Fall Product Sale an educational and fun experience for the girls and an easy one for the volunteers. Product Sales in Girl Scouting teaches life skills such as finance, responsibility, communication and socialization. The girls will earn fun recognitions and the troop receives proceeds!

Troops earn $.60 per item sold. Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors have the option of forgoing the recognition items and earning an extra $.05 per item for a total of $.65 per item sold. (Patch will be available to those girls who sell over 5 items)

FINANCIAL PROCEDURES

Most of the banking procedures should be handled by the troop fall product manager. It is important to get money collected from girls and deposited into the bank as quickly as possible. The longer you wait, the easier it is to lose the money - or worse. Tell girls in your troop to bring in their collected money often and set up a deadline for the final collection.

  • Deposit tickets have been specially prepared for each troop. Please do not trade/transfer deposit tickets with another troop. Do not use the counter deposit tickets available at the banks. If you think you will need more deposit tickets, call your regional Product Sale Manager at least four days
    before funds are due.

  • All money MUST be deposited into the council account.

  • Follow these steps:

    • Count all money turned in.

    • Remove troop profit.

    • Record what is owed to council on deposit slip. Please double check your deposit slips for accuracy, as the bank charges for each correction.

    • Make deposit at designated bank. If the funds are deposited into a troop account, any bank fees and returned check fees will be charged to the troop account.

      • Toledo - Key Bank

      • Lima – Chase Bank

      • Dayton - National City

      • Cincinnati - National City

    • Only deposit what is owed to council - NOT TROOP PROFIT!

  • After making deposits attach deposit receipts to the white and yellow copy of the T1 form and turn into your service unit fall product consultant by December 10th (along with any collection forms and permission slips).
