OUR GOAL $22, 000 We want to subsidize our Scouting program with fundraising! Scouts can schedule their own site sales, sell door-to-door with a wagon, sell at their parents’ workplace, and online to friends and family. Each Scout should consider working 2 site sale shifts (1 hour each); either during pack’s scheduled site sales OR schedule your own storefront sale. Last year Scouts averaged more than $100/hr in sales. The more Scouts sell, the bigger the prize they earn!
