ART IN THE SQUARE

 


Save the date to join us April 22-24 for the ART IN THE SQUARE (AITS) fundraiser in Southlake. 

Scouts earn money working shifts with their adult partners/parent in a one-on-one team helping clean up at the event.  Scouts may sign up for one shift and can earn $50 for their Scout account.

Again, please understand that the parent is part of the duo and must accompany their Scout at all times. 

Last shift is reserved for third year scouts on up. 

Please read the Parent and Volunteer Information HERE
Waivers are required prior to your shift. Waiver can be found HERE

Spring and Fall Flower Fundraiser 

The Troop sells flats of 18 in various types and colors

Price per flat: $17-20 depending on the type purchased (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: for Fall 2021 - Sept 20.

(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 26 flats... pay your dues for the next year.

Sell approximately 50 flats… pay for summer camp.

You get the idea.

You will pick up the flats you sell and deliver them when they arrive. 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 available HERE

Order Form 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.
    “__________ is 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 20. 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!”

    SCOUT SAVER CARDS

    2018 Camp Card Shown Front and Back

    Each year (generally after the March Roundtable), Troop 1910 begins allowing Scouts' parents to check out Camp Cards at Troop meetings for those Scouts desiring to participate in this optional fundraiser.

    Camp Cards are coupon cards made available through Longhorn Council that are sold for $10 each. Of that, $5 goes to your son's Scout Account.

    Our Committee reserves time slots at various storefronts to give Scouts the opportunity to participate in what is called a "Show-N-Sell". This provides easy sales for motivated Scouts.  At a typical Show-N-Sell, a Scout can sell about 20 cards, which means he’s making $100 in two hours to help fund his Scout adventures!  That’s hard to beat my friends.

    Collect the money at point of sale and turn in all money and/or unsold cards to the Camp Card Coordinator by the end of April.

    The Troop must pay Longhorn Council $5 per card OR return unsold cards by the May Roundtable. Our Troop does not benefit in any way from Camp Card Sales - this fundraiser is solely for the benefit of your Scout to help him pay his own way.

    However, if your son receives a donation, rather than a card purchase, that must be turned in to the Troop, due to tax issues.

    Please be aware that once you take possession of the Camp Cards, you are responsible for their value, i.e. if you lose them, you must pay the Troop $5 per card because that's what we must pay Council for each card that we don't return.

    Please take advantage of this opportunity while you can! There are a few Show-N-Sells left this year (2018) for sign up if you’re interested - Sign up for TROOP 1910 - CAMP CARD Show-N-Sells HERE on @SignUpdotcom today!
