Art In The Square Fundraiser

 

Save the date to join us September 24-26 for the ART IN THE SQUARE (AITS) fundraiser in Southlake. 

Scouts earn money working shifts with their adult partners helping clean up at the event.  

AITS is back on this year and takes place September 24-26. Scouts may sign up for one shift and can earn $50 for their Scout account.

A parent 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.

For those not camping, help is needed for Mr. Ellis' Eagle Scout Project on both Saturday, September 11 and Sunday, September 12 at 540 Aviator Drive at Hicks Air Field in Fort Worth building bookshelves for the Bridgeway Preparatory Academy.

See sign up HERE.

September Campout

Our September Campout will be 9-12 at Mineral Wells State Park. The program will focus on Pioneering. 

Here's a great site about the Pioneering Merit Badge.

Permission forms are due but if you forgot to send yours, they're located HERE and meal planning/patrol assignments were done at a previous Troop meeting. 

Transportation: We will officially allow pre-arranged transportation on this campout, i.e. parents can pre-arrange for their Scout to be transported to and from the campout by another parent, but again, you the parent must work this out with another parent – this is not a drop-off scenario like we did pre-COVID. 

The Permission Form linked above needs to be turned in to Mr Hunt ASAP.

Grub money ($15 per scout/$20 per adult) IS DUE -- get it to your grubmaster so they can plan for you!

Fall Flower Sales

Troop 1910’s Fall Flower Fundraiser has begun!

The Troop is selling: flats of 18 in various types and colors

Price per flat: $17 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: Monday, September 20th 

(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 early 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 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.

“Wyatt 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 20th. 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.
