Fall Take Action Program

The Fall Take Action Program is easy, fun, and a great way for both entrepreneurs and volunteers to start off the Girl Scout year! Entrepreneurs sell to family and friends. They can do the entire program online, in-person using the order card, or both, following safety guidelines. All troops receive 20% of total troop sales.

We’re excited to bring our entrepreneurs together again to support conservation efforts by partnering with Hawaii Marine Animal Response (HMAR) through adoption, conservation, and rescue of Hawaiian monk seals.

Adopt an Entrepreneurial Mindset

An entrepreneur uses creativity and imagination to figure out new, innovative ways to solve problems, evolve ideas and methods, or build a business to meet those needs.  Every Girl Scout can benefit, maybe even discover what their  passionate about, by learning to think like an entrepreneur:

  • Be curious
  • Embrace challenge
  • Take initiative
  • Collaborate with others
  • Take creative risks
  • See failing as learning
  • Adapt to change

Why is entrepreneurship important for Girl Scouts?  Having an entrepreneurial mindset prepares Girl Scouts for a successful education, a career of their choosing, and the skills needed to tackle challenges they’re most passionate about.  In short, it balances the scales and readies them for today’s world.

COVID-19 Safety Guidance

Entrepreneurs and adults should adhere to all GSNorCal COVID-19 Guidance prior to engaging in product deliveries and/or marketing material distribution. We recommend all customer purchases be transacted through entrepreneurs' online shops, ensuring minimal-contact financial transactions. Should an entrepreneur and adult choose to accept cash or check as payment tender in rare circumstances, we recommend appropriate safety precautions be taken. We also encourage parents to deposit these physical payments into their personal account then electronically transfer the funds to their troop volunteer in order to reduce touchpoints.

Fall Take Action Project

Go bright ahead and take action this fall! Join your fellow GSNorCal entreprenHERS in partnering with Hawaii Marine Animal Response (HMAR) in adoption, conservation, and rescue of Hawaiian monk seals.

Meet the Hawaiian monk seals: they hail from the Hawaiian Islands and nearby Johnston Atoll. They are the only tropical seal species left in the world and only live in Hawaiian waters. Hawaiian monk seals are 6-8 feet long and weigh 350-500 pounds. They can dive more than 1800 feet deep but prefer to swim in shallow waters of 300 feet or less. Monk seals rest on the beach for a few hours to a few days and spend two-thirds of their life at sea

Hawaiian monk seals are one of the most endangered marine mammals in the world, with only 1,500 still calling Hawaiian    waters their home.

 

Girl Scout Conservation

By choosing to donate any amount of their        program rewards for adoption, conservation and rescue of Hawaiian monk seals, entrepreneurs have the opportunity to make a change in the world and spread the word about the need to protect the Hawaiian monk seals. Visit h-mar.org to learn about each of the twenty- two monk seals our entrepreneurs may choose to adopt and support at the end of the program.

Troop Sisterhood

Your troop can help safeguard a future for these amazing animals through participation in the Fall Take Action Program. Troops who have 100% of registered entrepreneurs send 18+ emails plus reaching a 50+ item Per Girl Average, earn a shaved ice party kit that includes color changing sunglasses for each entrepreneur.

Care to Share

Care to Share is GSNorCal’s service project in which we share our delicious products with the community! Entrepreneurs sell virtual items to be donated by the council to local organizations, such as food banks, military bases, and other hometown heroes, at the end of the program.

  • $8 per item, no specific variety
  • Available online and in-person
  • Per IRS regulations, all donations collected while participating in product programs should be toward Care to Share

Plus, Girl Scouts who sell 5+ Care to Share items earn an exclusive patch!
