Wreath Sales
A Scout is Thrifty. A Scout works to pay his own way and to help others. He saves for the future. He protects and conserves natural resources. He carefully uses time and property. Thrifty is the ninth point of the Scout Law – immediately after Cheerful and right before Brave.

Our only troop fundraiser is wreath sales and we do it just once a year. The money from this fundraiser goes to support your troop. It pays for equipment, trailer repairs, and more – enables us to keep our troop operational. It also helps scouts pay their way for Summer camp, High Adventure trips and any other scouting activities. Sales are down compared to this time last year. Please get out there and do your part. You Gotta Wanna!!!

This past week’s contest was the 26″ Noel Wreath. Our winner was Brandon B. who sold 5 units. Way to Go Brandon – You gotta Wanna! Also please note that the last date for wreath money turn in is Tues Oct 28th.
