Thank you for providing your Girl Scout with the opportunity to participate in the MagNut program. It starts simple—goal setting while she works with her troop and people skills when she approaches a new customer. Your Girl Scout learns life skills through the MagNut program and will have fun while she does it! The MagNut program is rooted in financial literacy, and she will earn special rewards and extra funds for her troop (15-20 percent of girls’ sales!). All proceeds from the program stay within our council to support Girl Scout experiences.

Girls can choose any or all of the participation options below:

MagNut Program Themes and MascotOur 2021 MagNut program theme is “Rise Up,” and our mascots are a mother and baby emperor penguin, Penelope and Peanut.

2021 MagNut Program Mascot: The Emperor Penguin Here are some interesting fun facts about adult and chick emperor penguins:

• There are approximately 595,000 adult emperor penguins in Antarctica.• It’s the only animal to inhabit the open ice of Antarctica during the

winter.• They face wind chills as cold as -76°F and blizzards of 124 mph.• Four layers of scale-like feather protect them from icy winds and

provide a waterproof coat.• A group of adults and chicks, which is called a “huddle,” work

together to huddle for warmth. 5,000 or more tightly packed adults and chicks shuffle around, so each takes a turn—but not too long—on the outside of the huddle where it’s cold.

• The tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species, a grown adult emperor penguin reaches an average of 39 inches in length and can weigh up to 88 pounds.

• Their diet consists primarily of fish, krill, and squid. • Their aerodynamic bodies and strong flippers make them excellent

swimmers, reaching speeds of 7.6 mph.• They can dive deeper than any other bird—as deep as 1,850 feet—

and they can stay under for more than 20 minutes.• As a social animal, they will walk up to 75 miles each year to reach

their colonial nesting areas.• Once an egg is laid, the male will care for the egg until hatched while

the mother travels to the sea to hunt for food, which can take up to two months!

• As the young penguins grow, adults leave them in groups of chicks called crèches while they leave to fish.

• Emperor penguins are considered a “near threatened” species due to disease, habitat destruction, and disturbance of breeding colonies by humans.

• They can live 15-20 years in the wild.

You can visit penguins at the Pittsburgh Zoo, the Erie Zoo, and the Pittsburgh National Aviary’s Penguin Encounter!
