What is a fundraising 'split on profits' and how is it determined?

The split varies by fundraiser. It is reviewed by the Troop Committee and may be adjusted periodically. It can go from 50/50 to 80/20 in favor of the Scout. That is on fundraisers like Wreath or Popcorn Sales. Recycling, I am sure you have seen the bags of cans out front before meetings, is 100% towards the Scout Account. Spaghetti Dinner and Car Washes are 100% for the Troop.
