curtes Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Does anyone know if it is possible to use this forum like a ''craigs list'' and list items for sale to new scouting families in my local area only? The proceeds from which would go to our local scout troop. This would be a way for eagle families to share/sell their now retired equipment and clothing, etc. to up and coming scouting families and save on their expense and do something nice for the troop. thanks so much and any and all responses regarding this topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtes Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 actually, does anyone know ANY website, free preferably, where one can list items for sale. I believe there is a Boy Scout website somewhere that does offer this function, but I can not find it on internet. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anarchist Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 curtes, well that''s one way...another would be to check with some of the bigger (if any) outdoors gear shops in your area and see if they sponsor "swap" meets (usually in the parking lot)and see if they will let you participate. A third would be to check with your district round table leaders and see if they can set up an equipment yard sale area at a few of the roundtables this year...would be a great addition to some programs... You could also organize it yourself as a troop fund raiser...a town-wide yard sale at some shopping center parking lot -where every troop would pay (your troop) a small fee and "civilians" would pay a larger fee to rent parking spaces to put out stuff....could be a "hoot"...You could sell dogs, burgers and drinks...little local advertizing, talking it up at the round-tables? Might even try to tag it to a local festival or parade... Anarchist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanescouter Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I would suggest you contact local units and ask them if they could use some more xyz gear ... you may be able to do this through roundtable as well as finding unit websites. I know many units would jump on the chance to buy "experienced gear" as long as it was not totally worn out or over priced...
