Fundraiser Information

2011 Mulch Sales

This is the third annual mulch sale for our Scout troop. Last year the Scouts sold a total of 1791 bags of mulch and raised a total of over $2700 for their accounts. Although that seems like a lot of mulch the delivery went smooth and was completed on Saturday. Our goal this year should be to top that amount, I think that a good number would be 2340 bags (three full truckloads from the supplier). This should be a quick and easy way for the Scouts to earn money for scouting events or equipment. All profit goes into the individual Scout accounts. To keep the whole process simple we will be selling just one type of mulch. The mulch is from Austin Wood Recycling and is their Texas Native Hardwood Mulch delivered in 2 cubic foot bags.The attached file contains a overview for the mulch sale including some basic rules for selling (Mulch Sales Overview). Note that for reference that a 2 CU foot bag of mulch will cover about 24 square feet of ground space assuming a 2 inch depth of the mulch

 

When sales are made, make sure the customers learn that we represent Boy Scouts, that our prices are competitive for quality products, and we include home delivery. By Monday, February 14th all completed order forms and payments are to be turned in to Mr. Maule. Delivery/distribution date is Saturday, March 5th. Delivery to the customer is the responsibility of the Scout(and their parents) making the sale. However, delivery will be completed as a troop. So even if you do not have a trailer or truck to deliver the mulch you can still sell. Scouts will be sent out in groups for delivery, so that they each have help in moving the mulch. Class B’s for the Scouts during delivery. Final delivery plans will be formalized at a troop meeting or a PLC meeting in February.

2009 Candy Bar Sales

Troop 161 uses Candy Bar sales as a fundraiser for the boys, not the troop, so this is an optional fundraiser. It is an individual boys choice to sell, and the profits made from their sales will be placed in his individual troop account to be used for troop activities and/or personal scout supplies or equipment.

 

Candy Bar sales for 2009 start in March and run through April. This fundraiser is being run by Patty Wirth. Orders for candy bars are due by Saturday morning March 14th (send orders to Patty Wirth). The candy bars will be delivered to the boys selling on at the troop meeting on March 23rd. Scouts will need to provide a check for the total cost of the candy bars when they pick them up. The checks will not be cached until the sale ends on April 27th. On April 27th the checks will be deposited unless the scout brings in the cash from the sale to replace the check.

The candy bars sell for $1.00 each with 50 cents profit to be placed in the boys account. Each box of candy contains 50 bars so the scout will earn $25 for each box of candy that they order. Note the scout is responsible for selling any candy that they order it cannot be returned to the troop.

 

 

2009 Popcorn Sales
