Fundraisers
Updated: 5/5/2022
A Scout is Thrifty- There are many benefits to fundraising, the most obvious is raising money for the troop. But there are other benefits as well, like teaching the scout monetary responsibility and accountability, interaction with other people, and salesmanship to name a few. The Troop has several fundraisers set up throughout the year. They, of course, are voluntary. But they do benefit the troop directly and sometimes the scout directly by lowering the cost of an activity for participants.
Scouts that participate in fundraisers help the troop and help earn their own way in the scouting program.
Some fundraisers are to raise money for the troop and some will make a profit for the Scouts Account to be used to pay for any scouting activities.
The troop uses this money to help pay for Trailer Maintenance, Camping Gear, Special Activities Gear and other items needed by the troop to make the troop go
Also for financial aid from the Council for in council summer camps you will be required to show that you have participated in some form of fundraising.
