Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSofSI) has wrapped up its annual fall Nut, Candy, and Magazine Program, with Scouts selling more than $440,000 in tasty treats and magazines.

Let's give a shout out to the following girls for being All-Star Entrepreneurs for their respective areas:

Olivia Koester from the North Randolph County Service Unit sold $826 in product.

Kamryn Patterson from the South Randolph County Service Unit sold $1,450 in product.

Aryana Loucks from the South Randolph County Service Unit sold $1,047 in product.

"I am so impressed with the girls," said Katie Grayling, Senior Manager of Product Program. "The excitement they showed during the program is reflected in the results. These girls are truly All Stars."

Girl Scout Product Programs help girls gain five valuable life skills, such as goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. Proceeds from these programs stay local to provide numerous opportunities for girls to explore their interests, become tomorrow's leaders, and change the world.

Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois serves nearly 5,000 girls and engages more than 2,000 adult volunteers in 40 counties in Southern Illinois.

Adult volunteers and girls in kindergarten through 12th grade are welcome. Call (800) 345-6858 or email customercare@gsofsi.org.
