Fall Flower Sales Have Begun


Troop 1910’s Fall Flower Fundraiser has begun.

The Troop is selling: flats of 18 pansies in various types and colors
Price per flat: $17 (very competitive with stores)
Profit per flat: $6 per flat directly into your Scout account and $2 per flat to the Troop
Orders and money are due: Monday, September 24th 
(If you cannot attend the meeting that night, you may email the scanned order form to Kelly Morgan and make arrangements to get the payment to her.) 

A Scout is Thrifty. 
A Scout works to pay his own way… 

Sell 22 flats... pay your dues for the next year.
Sell approximately 50-60 flats… pay for summer camp.
You get the idea.

You will pick up the flats you sell and deliver them when they arrive. They are scheduled to be delivered in October. In the past, they have coordinated our delivery on a Monday afternoon prior to our meeting.

The flowers are grown locally and have been very hardy plants.

A printable sheet showcasing all available colors is HERE
Order Forms is HERE!
If you are not comfortable going through your neighborhood, you can email the picture page to your neighbors. (Neighbors are your easiest deliveries.)

Parents, advertise for your Scout(s) on your Facebook page. Almost all of their Scout fees have been paid directly from their Scout accounts primarily thanks to this fundraiser.

Some additional selling tips are:
  1. Tell the customer what you are working toward (summer camp, paying your own dues, high adventure, etc.) People love to help you reach a goal!
  2. Tell them it’s a great way to get flowers without getting dirt in their car.
  3. Encourage friends and neighbors to share your flyer. 

Here is the Facebook message I posted if anyone wants to copy and tweak it.
“Walker and Wyatt are selling flats of fall pansies to earn their way in Boy Scouts and pay for camps next summer. We will deliver in October, so no dirt will be in your car! The orders and money are due Monday, September 24th. Please let us know if you're local and would like some. A flat is 18 four-inch plants for $17. Feel free to share this with your friends!”

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Kelly Morgan.
