Kickstart Troop Funds with the 
Nut, Candy, Magazine (NCM) Program! 

The Nut, Candy, Magazine (NCM) Product Program provides a great opportunity for troops to kickstart troop funds, earning 15% of proceeds. Girls also learn vital business and communication skills that will last a lifetime.
 
Plus, troops order the exact amount needed, so there are  no leftovers to sell.  By participating in Girl Scout Product Programs, girls learn five essential skills that help them grow into leaders in their own lives, leaders in future careers and leaders that change the world: Goal Setting, Decision Making, Money Management, People Skills and Business Ethics.
