My son is trying it for the first time (wolf). His troop basically stopped with the popcorn and went all in on school supplies. 1 price to buy and deliver to the classroom on back to school night. Apparently made for more than they ever did with the popcorn.
Yeah man, fuck popcorn. We're railing hard on camp cards. Do you have a link to the school supplies things? That sounds like an amazing idea.
generally speaking, all fundraisers by students/kids organizations are annoying
I would guess that 75% of proceeds are from family and people who feel obligated to pitch in, not people who want what is being sold at the marked up price
Mulch has gotten competitive. There are now 2 or 3 troops that canvass our area selling mulch. They went from crappy home printing fliers to professional, glossy door hangers this year. 2 of them made the leap this year. Probably thought they were first out of the gate.
Mulch is a good idea because it's actually WORK and people like to pay boys to do something.
Our troop sells car wash gift cards to Autobell - at least once per shift i can count on some old coot oldsplaining to me about how he had to WORK to raise money when he was a boy, now we just want people to GIVE it to us like a bunch of pansies.
Boy Scouts - founded 1910, admitted girls 2017, bankrupt 2020 - coincidence?
