GIRL SCOUT COUNCIL SHOP

TROOP REBATE PROGRAM

How does it work?

• Each leader/volunteer gives the parents/guardians a coupon. Limit: one coupon can be used per Girl Scout.
• The parents/guardians fill out the information on the coupon. Remember purchases are tracked by Troop number so be sure they have the troop number.
• The parents/guardians who make any purchases from the council shop between September 1, 2007 and November 30, 2007 can turn this coupon in to the council shop for your troop to receive a store rebate. Rebate amounts will equal to 10% of purchase. Rebate amounts are issued to the Troop as store credits only. There is no cash or personal value to them.
• Council shop will keep a master list of rebate amounts by Troop number. Leaders/volunteers should contact council for rebate amounts.
• Rebate amounts should be used between January 1, 2008 and February 29, 2008.
• Rebates must be used for troop needs from the Girl Scout Catalog. The rebate credit can be used on the following items: Brownie GS Try-its, Junior Badges, Interest Project Awards, Fun Patches, Certificates Studio 2B Charms and Books, and Level books (excluding handbook sets, because these are already reduced by $3.00)
• Deadlines will not be extended.

Questions & Answers

Does the troop get cash back?

No, the rebate is designed to get more traffic into the shop. The rebate is a store credit to be used toward the purchase of key merchandise items.

Do phone and fax orders count?

Yes, when placing the order over the phone during the valid dates, make sure to include your troop number and mail or fax in your coupon with payment.

Will purchases at the Traveling Shop – Trading Post count?

Yes, make sure to fill out a coupon with your troop number as all rebates are tracked by the troop number. Off sites sales include Traveling Shop and Trading Post and coupons will be available at these locations with a limit of one per Girl Scout.

Why is the rebate only valid for redemption during January and February?

The council store is very busy starting in March with the end of year business. The rebate allows leaders to shop for their troops’ awards during these slow months when we have plenty of stock to meet their needs.
