The scouting program is a non-profit organization. All of our awards, crafts, trophies, decorations, and meals have to be funded through our fundraisers and den dues.
We will once again be doing the Coke fundraiser and the 15 mile yard sale in November. The coke fundraiser works just like the schools....you get 24 20oz cokes for $20. I am currently finalizing everything with the Coca Cola company and will be getting those order forms out ASAP.
Our second fundraiser will be the 15 mile yard sale at the Husser Fire Dept in November. I will need volunteers for that day....scouts and parents. I will have a sign up sheet as we get closer to November...but it looks like times are 5a till about 2-3pm. I will need at least 2-3 other adults with me at all times.
Lastly I would like to talk about den dues. Each scout is asked to pay $5 a month to assist the den with crafts and small awards....or snacks if need be. If it is easier to pay $1.25 a week....or $20 for several months...that is ok. If dens do not collect dues, then the leader or pack must acquire the cost if any activities are done.....or no activites will be done when there is no money. Boys enjoy scouting more when they have hands on activities to engage their minds.
Thank you again for all your help!!!
