FLOWER SALE 2023
LINKS:
As in the past, the Troop would like to provide you with a resource to help you earn your way through the Scouting program. By participating in the flower sale, you can earn enough money to pay your dues and raise additional funds for your Scout Account. This is a great opportunity to help yourself and your Troop, let’s sell a ton of flowers!
Here’s what’s in it for you…
- For every $1 you sell, the troop will immediately put 30 cents in your Scout Account. The more you sell, the more you earn in your account.
- ALL profit from the presale orders will go to your Scout Account.
- You have 3 weeks to sell.
- We will use the same supplier as the last few years! Robben Florist and Greenhouse is well known and because they are located in Cincinnati, they can provide better service to us and our customers.
- Scout Account funds can be used for dues, gear, fees, summer camp, high adventure, uniforms, etc…
- On-site customer pick up will be one day only – Saturday, April 29th, The troop will also raise money that day with an onsite sale at the church.
Reminders…
- We will again be selling perennials in addition to our regular items. These are plants that come back every year, so please make sure to point them out to your customers.
- Color Flower Guide is linked above. Please print out to show customers who may not be familiar with the plants.
