Fall Product Program

This fall, Girl Scouts Heart of Central California is offering troops and girls the opportunity to participate in the Girl Scout Fall Product Program through QSP/Ashdon Farms. More than a way to raise money, this program provides a valuable learning experience for girls to develop business and leadership skills that last a lifetime.

Thank you for your support of the girls, troops and council by purchasing or participating in the fall product program!
