janssenil Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Hi, Our troop is planning a fundraiser from which we hope to earn quite a bit of profit. We also plan to start Scout Accounts and would like to hear from other troops on how they determine how to divvy up some of those profits amongst the scouts. Any rules? Any lessons learned? Can they spend the profits on anything or restricted to summer camp payments and camping fees? Did each scout receive a percentage based on the number of hours worked? Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevorum Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 In general, I feel that fund raiser credit should be directly proportional to the Scouts participation, but I suppose it depends on the nature of the fundraiser. Our troop holds an annual BBQ and scouts sell tickets. For each ticket sold, the scout gets X dollars credited to their account. Our troop treasurer keeps the books. Scouts may use their earned balance for any scout activity fee (summer camp, etc). The only exception is monthly campout grub ($10/campout). Scouts may also use their earned funds to purchase gear (tents, sleeping bags, etc.) with the prior approval of the SM. In this case, they submit a reciept to the treasurer and get a refund.
