Fundraising

Fundraising is a very important activity within the troop since annual dues alone do not cover all of the costs of supporting troop activities and equipment needs, such as tents, sleeping bags, rope, and more.

There are two types of fundraisers: one type expects all scouts to participate as earnings benefit the entire troop. Funds go towards

• • Hat, Neckerchief, Shoulder Loops, #1, Nametag, and Handbook (for new scouts)

  • Wingbowl

  • Troop equipment

  • Family Picnic

  • Scout patches, badges and recognition awards

The second type is voluntary, and each participating scout's earnings are added to his troop account to be applied towards summer camp or monthly trips.

Benefits to Your Scout:

• Teaches the value & process of setting and working toward goals

• Gives a strong sense of accomplishment by being able to help fund their participation in trips and/or camp.

• Enhances communication, leadership skills and confidence

• Exhibits great Troop Spirit!
