Changes for 2020
The Fall Take Action Program, previously known as the Fall Product Program, is an important Community Service piece of the Essential Girl Scout Experience of leading change and making positive differences in local communities and around the world. Our 2020 take action program conservation focus is the critically endangered Pygmy Three-toed Sloth. Evaluations vary, but the most recent count estimates that there are less than 100 in the world, due to habitat loss.
The Fall Taken Action Program will focus on minimizing contact and is focused on online sales (nuts, chocolates and magazines). There is no Cupboard and so the initial order is the only product the Troop will receive for girl delivery, so you may want to build in Troop extra product; otherwise, if the Troop wants additional product, they will need to purchase additional product online and pay for shipping. Whatever product the Troop orders is not returnable.
