GSSI's Nut, Candy & Magazine (NCM) Program is a Huge Success




Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois’ 2013 Nut, Candy & Magazine (NCM) Program was a tremendous success as approximately 4, 200 girls sold over $550,000 of the delicious nuts, candies and magazines.  Girls who participated in the program benefit from “learning by earning” and developed five valuable life skills – goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.  Proceeds for the NCM Program help GSSI develop leadership programs for girls, recruit and train adult volunteers, improve and maintain camp properties and provide financial assistance so Girl Scouting is available to all girls.  

“What a wonderful job our girls did during this year’s Nut, Candy & Magazine Program,” said Villie M. Appoo, GSSI Chief Executive Officer.  “The success of NCM program is due largely to the commitment from our girls, their parents, our fantastic volunteers and of course everyone who supported the girls by purchasing an item,” said Appoo. “Proceeds from Girl Scout Product Programs provide numerous opportunities for girls to help them grow into leaders for America and teaches them many valuable skills like goal setting, decision making and working together as a team.”
