Troop Fundraisers
Why do we have fundraisers?
To help offset the cost for Scouts (summer camp & other trips), Troop equipment maintenance, and materials used for the troop program (e.g. ropes, etc.)
How many fundraisers are there?
Typically two: Scouts individually sell Christmas wreathes and the Troop collectively sells Christmas trees during the holiday period.
Why two fundraisers?
The Christmas Wreathes primarily supports the Scouts costs for summer camp. If the Scout sells ten (10) wreathes he receives a $50 discount from the cost of summer camp. In addition, the Scout is credited five dollars ($5) to their "Scout Account" for each wreath sold. A Scout may use the funds in his Scout Account for anything related to Scouting (ie. personal camping equipment, Camping Fees, Merit Badge University fees).
The Christmas Tree Sale supports the cost of running the Troop. Scouts and Parents must assist at the Christmas Tree Lots during the period from Thanksgiving to as late as Christmas Eve. We operate three Christmas Tree Lots each year and it requires everyone's help to successfully complete this fundraiser.
