Money Talk
The revenue generated from the sales provides funding that remains with the troop/group and helps fund council costs, such as program and adult learning opportunities. All monies generated from the sales remain within Girls Scouts of Black Diamond Council.
Background

GIrl Scouts of Black Diamond Council participate in two sales. The fall nut and candy sale runs through October and the cookie sale runs through January and February.
