Scouts who sold flowers must volunteer for 2 hours on pick up day!

The Troop would like to provide you with a resource to help earn your way through the Scouting program. By participating in the flower sale you can earn money to help pay your dues and raise additional funds for your scout account. This is a great opportunity to help yourself and your Troop. Let’s get out there and sell a ton of flowers!!

Here’s what’s in it for you:

For every $1 you sell the troop will put 25 cents in your scout account. The more you sell the more you earn in your account.
Scout account funds can be used for dues, gear, fees, summer camp, high adventure trips and uniforms.
If a scout sells flowers they must volunteer on Saturday, May 3 for 2 hours. If a scout cannot volunteer for 2 hours then they must deliver their flowers to their buyers. Volunteer sign ups will be conducted as we get closer to the flower delivery date.
Scouts are responsible for contacting buyers if they do not come to pick up their order.
On site customer pick up will be one day only- Saturday, May 3 from 1:00-3:00pm.

Selling instructions:

Extra order forms, color flower guide and receipts are available on the troop281.org website. The color flower guide has examples of some of the flowers to show customers who may not be familiar with the plants.
Sharing on Social media is a great way to market your flower sale!
Have the customer complete the order form with their information. Make sure your name is on the form as well!
