What kind of Fundraisers do you do? Are all Scouts required to fundraise? And what happens to the money that is raised?

Like most Scout Troops we sell Popcorn and Wreaths. We also sell cookie dough and in the past we have sold Flowers. We will be doing a Spaghetti Dinner in the fall. If you have ideas for fundraisers we are always open to new or better ways to raise funds. Contact our Fundraiser Chair. The profits earned on fundraisers are split between the Troop and the Scout. The Scouts split goes into his Scout Account, the Troop Split goes into our General Fund which is used for various expenses, replace equipment, like tents and cooking gear, etc. Are all Scouts required to fund raise? It shouldn't need to be a requirement. The Scouts should want to fund raise, to give back to the Troop and to earn funds for their Scout Accounts. Remember a Scout is Thrifty.
