Placing an Order: Fall Product managers for each troop MUST click on the nut-E logo above to order product and incentives for each girl in their troop by October 24, 2012.
Additional forms for the Fall Product Sale:
ACH Debit Authorization
Each troop is required to manually enter their bank name, routing number and account number into nut-E by October 5. Troops that fail to do this by October 24 will not be allowed to pick up product until this information is entered online. Service Units will be notified of troops affected by this by November 12.
For security reasons only the troop will have the capability to enter this information. However, your service unit manager will be able to enter this information for troops who do not have computer access.
Family Flyer: Girls and their parent/guardian will learn about the various steps for the Fall Sale, find important dates and guidelines, and see the recognitions available to earn and set goals. Page 4 will also explain the procedure for "Nut Promises" - new for 2012.
