FUND RAISING
Discover how your unit can have enough money to have an ideal year of Scouting and pay for it with just two fund-raisers!
What is your Ideal Year of Scouting?
It’s doing all of the things that you want to do for a full 12-month program including registration, Boys’ Life, uniforms, advancements, banquets, field trips, Day Camp, Fun With Son, Camp, etc. You can
bet that it’s going to take money to have all of that fun!
When your Unit sets a budget and plans just how much money it will cost to have Scouting for the year a
goal can be set and plans can be made to raise the funds.
The Northeast Georgia Council provides two Scouting fundraisers each year in which your unit can participate.
Popcorn Sale
The Trail’s End Popcorn Sale happens each fall during the months of September through November. A Scout can help to earn his own way in Scouting by selling really great popcorn. 70 percent of the money for all popcorn that is sold stays right here in our council. 35 percent stays in the pack and troop treasuries while another 35 percent goes to help improve our camps and to help kids who might not have a chance to be a Scout. Last year over $415,000 commission for popcorn sold was paid to packs, troops and crews throughout the Northeast Georgia Council. That’s a lot of corn!
Scout Blast
Scout Blast is the opportunity each spring for all Scouts to demonstrate to thousands of parents, friends and the general public what Scouting is all about. Scouts can sell discount cards and earn great prizes for themselves and a nice commission for the unit on all of the cards that are sold.
