The Troop’s primary fundraisers are the annual pancake breakfast (March) and popcorn (Aug-Oct). Participation at these fundraisers is mandatory. Below are the Troop’s current guidelines for fundraising.
Pancake Breakfast
Scouts earn $0.00 per ticket for the first 10 tickets sold. Tickets 11-20 sold, Scout earns 1 point per ticket. Any tickets sold over 20, the scout earns 2 points per ticket, deposited to his scout account. Funds generated from the bake sale will be divided equally among all scouts participating in the bake sale (i.e., you must bring something for the bake sale). After the money is subtracted for the scout ticket sales commissions (i.e., 1 or 2 points per ticket as above), the remaining funds less expenses are divided between the Troop and the scouts on a 50%/50% basis, with 50% going to the general Troop funds and 50% to be divided among the scouts based on total hours worked at the pancake breakfast. Adults can work the breakfast also to earn points for their scout accounts.
Popcorn
Scouts can use the popcorn fundraiser to pay for registration and more, helping them "earn their way" in Scouting.
Flag Program
Popcorn serves as a fundraiser not only for our scouts, but also for our council. Rainbow Scout Reservation depends on this fundraiser each year.
