Girl Scouts of Nassau County is gearing up for the Mags&Munchies Fall Product Program, running from September 26 through November 2. The Fall Product Program is a fun way for Girl Scouts to build valuable life and business skills, while earning troop funds for Take Action projects, troop activities, events, and so much more.

“The Mags&Munchies Program is a financial literacy program that allows girls to be entrepreneurs while also developing real-world skills that last a lifetime,” said Rande Bynum, CEO of Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “Whether they are selling in-person or online, Girl Scouts are gaining hands-on experience running their own small business, connecting with their community and seeing what’s possible when they work toward a goal.”

The program teaches the five key entrepreneurial leadership skills at the heart of Girl Scout entrepreneurship: goal setting, decision making, people skills, money management and business ethics.
