Ok, so a Scout may be thrifty, but let's face it - food and gas aren't getting any cheaper. Just as we're a boy-led Troop, we make every opportunity to let this be a boy-funded Troop, too. If boys take advantage of at least some of the fundraising opportunities available during the year, there's no reason they can't pay for all of their camping trips for the year.
Here are some of the ways boys can earn money for their accounts:
- Popcorn sale
- Working water stations at races
- Meijer rewards program
- Kroger rewards program
Popcorn
This is the traditional Scouting fundraiser, and it's a big one for us, too. Each year, Scouts have a chance to earn hundreds of dollars (or more) for their accounts.
Race Volunteering
We've been helping out with running races for a while, and this is a great way to supplement your popcorn money. We usually help hand out water to runners & walkers and work at the start-finish line.
