I know this is a Topic discussed a lot in a way. I understand going to businesses to ask for donation can effect the council asking for donations. My question is more for non businesses. As troops would like to upgrade or replace troop equipment in their trailer that only belongs to the troop why could they not put out on Facebook or at events that they are looking for these items and if someone personally would donate them, Would that be looked down upon if it is not does anyone have suggestions. I ask this question because my sons troop is in a small community. Doing pancake breakfast and things like that are not good as they usually bring in $100 or less. I feel that you would be better to put a wish list out at Community events that you are volunteering at. If I can get the camo fire's opinion I would appreciate it.
