Attracts nut lovers and lets everyone know Girl Scouting is “Toadally” Awesome!

One of the best days of the year isn’t even an official holiday. It is the opening day of the annual Girl Scout nut sale. From Oct. 1through Nov. 13, Girl Scouts from local troops will be traveling door-to-door taking nut orders. Nuts can also be purchased at local grocery stores and other sites.

“Our nut sale is an invaluable learning experience,” said Sarah Johnson, director of program services. “This voluntary program activity helps girls develop self confidence, self-respect, and a strong sense of community. The Girl Scout nut sale truly creates the leaders of the future!”

All of the money earned locally stays locally to support Girl Scouting in Santiam Council. More than 3,500 girls in Marion, Polk, Yamhill, Lincoln Linn, and Benton counties will participate in this event. These girls will earn money to attend camp, conduct service projects, take trips, support their troop, as well as train and support their leaders.

Girl Scout nut sale orders will be taken Oct. 1 to Oct. 28. During this order taking period, we ask consumers only place an order and not pay until delivered. Girl Scouts will make deliveries and sell nuts at local stores between Oct. 28 and Nov. 13.
