Fundraising

Overview

Our fundraising efforts this year will be a little more diverse than in recent years. We expect this approach will allow us to raise similar funds with less time and effort required.  For our Fall effort, our goal is to raise $4,000. 

1. Roadside clean up ($850)

2. Popcorn ($3,000 of product ~ $1,000 profit)

3. Wreaths and greens ($1,150)

4. Keeneland Fall Meet Parking ($1,000)

Sign up for your popcorn shifts on the Trail's End app.

We realize that this is a very intense schedule, especially considering that there is a camping trips in this time frame as well. With this in mind, we would like each scout and one of their parents to participate in one shift of popcorn, one shift of parking, and 4-5 hours of roadside cleanup. We hope that having this many opportunities scheduled this far in advance will make it easier to manage all the demands on your families' time.

Note: If we are unable to meet our popcorn sales goals on the 21st and 28th, we may schedule additional sales to offload our stock.

Popcorn

Our popcorn sale will be managed using the Trails End app. Please download the app and register your scout. (If you registered last year, you may use the same account. Contact Mr. Nutter if you need help getting into your account). 

We will keep paper signups for shifts at the meeting, but preference will be given to scouts signing up via the app.  

Wreaths and Greens

Paper forms will be distributed at a troop meeting. Additional forms will be provided as needed. 

The most efficient way to sell your products is to create a website for your scout and have friends and family order through the site.   The troop site to order greens is https://sherwoodfundraiser.com/troop118richmond.
