Girl Scouts “Made in the USA” Commitment
Girl Scout merchandise continues to honor its commitment to U.S.-made products and strives to keep its carbon footprint as small as possible. Girl Scout vests, sashes, tunics, and insignia are all currently produced in the USA. As of July 2017, we are pleased to announce that Daisy, Brownie, Junior, and Cadette badge production started in the United States. In order to offer the USA made products, there was an increase to the pricing structure. The new retail price on Daisy, Brownie, Junior, and Cadette badges began July 1.
All badges from the previous vendor have been discontinued and can no longer be returned. The GSCO retail staff encourages troop leaders to do swaps at their service unit meetings, or utilize the “Classifieds” section on the GSCO blog.
On to the more exciting news! “Back to Troop” is not too far away, and it will soon be time for the GSCO Shop to extend our hours to accommodate our volunteers and troop leaders. Our fall store hours will begin September 5, 2017. September 9 will be our first Saturday of the season to be open. The store will be open 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Tuesday – Thursday and 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Saturday. The store will be stocked starting in August for all your back to troop needs, along with some fun Girl Scout swag. Remember, Cookie Credits and GSCO gift cards are welcome in the store. If you are unable to stop by, give us a call or send an email (retail@gscolorado.org) with your questions or order. We are more than happy to assist you.
