About this Year’s Theme – Construct a Plan/Design your Future

The program activities offered during the fall sale focus on ways to help girls to set goals and create a plan to fulfill them. Working together as a team will show the girls that each team member contributes to the final solution to a project. This year’s theme:

• Focuses on leadership, collaboration and exploring personal values through discovering, connecting and taking action to help girls discover their future potential.

• Looks at business with a design twist

• Offers activities about money, business plans, investing, and designing on a budget

QSP Magazines

· 1 completed address booklet

· Submission of 12 valid email addresses through the QSP Online Program

· Every new / renewed subscription
(Note: Troops with 13+ Magazine subscriptions earn $4 per subscription, plus a sapling for their service unit 100^th Anniversary Tee Planting ceremony.)

QSP Online Program

This QSP program is an online learning activity for girls and a way for your family and friends to purchase magazines online.

New! Monkey Mail

Ashdon Farms and QSP have joined together to create Monkey Mail. Monkey mail is an interactive online activity that takes girls through learning activities online and then allows them to send animated emails to friends and family about the sale. This activity is divided by age levels to focus content more specifically and appropriately. Girls learn while helping Snoops uncover the mystery. After participating in this learning activity, girls have the option to dress a monkey and personalize an email to family and friends asking them to support girl scouts by ordering magazines through the QSP website and/or make a promise to purchase nuts and candies. Girls will have the option to send the email for just one or both of the programs.

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3……..just click on the link below to get started!

Then follow these simple steps:

Register
Complete the interactive learning activity
Personalize part of the message
Order your family’s subscriptions and invite other family members and friends to shop online.

In addition to a special patch for the girls, troops earn the same proceeds for online magazines that they do for paper orders. You can also check throughout the sale to track your progress and enter additional emails to meet your goals quicker! QSP does not rent or sell e-mail addresses or use them for any other purposes. We respect everyone’s right to privacy.

At the end of the sale, a Detailed Order Report will be emailed to the registered email address. Print the report or email it to your troop leader no later than November 23, 2010.
