Spark Points
In addition to the reward Girl Scouts earn by selling 1-599 packages, Girl Scouts who sell 600+ packages earn Spark Points.
Ignite the spirit of entrepreneurship! Spark Points recognizes the moment a bold goal is set and celebrates major milestones reached along the way. From the first sale to the final box, they honor the fire of ambition, the power of progress, and the brilliance of big ideas brought to life.
Girl Scouts earn the number of Spark Points (SP) at their final earning level, but after 3SP they can mix and match from multiple SP levels when selecting their reward. For example, if a Girl Scouts earns 10 Spark Points, they could utilize all 10SP and choose the Louisville Cavern Adventure OR they could mix and match the points and choose Resident Camp (4SP) and a KodakSmile 2-in-1
Instant Camera Bundle (6SP). Girl Scouts who chose to mix and match SP points are limited to one choice per level.
Girl Scouts who earn Spark Points will be contacted by GSKWR via email in April to choose how they want spend their Spark Points.
