Thanks so much for all the ideas. We're trying to find something different that no one else does, and it's really hard. I love the car crash idea - I could see the scouts themselves giving money to break stuff!!! lol Thanks again everyone!

I would like to ask what fundraising activities you readers here use for High Adventure Trips! We live in a small community, which gets hit with us, Girl Scouts, School Classes, FFA, 4-H, well you get the hint! It's hard to come up with "new" ideas for fundraising that generates the kind of monies needed for our boys to afford high adventure trips. Council fundraisers just don't seem to cut it. People are tired of the high prices of Scout Popcorn, with the small amount you get for your money. I know it goes for a great cause, and it helps fund council camps and activities, but we need money down to the troop level that will really help some that just can't afford to participate. Do any of you have fundraisers that really work? Thanks in advance....

Our Troop schedules our own Scouting for Food, at a different time as our Council, so better accommodate when food is needed in our local food bank. This way, we can also check council activity dates and find a date that doesn't conflict!
