Now that the Holiday season is over, we can finally relax a little. We were rather busy with Scouts this year too. I mentioned before, we did the RC Willey hot dog give away a couple times and we also did a Christmas Wreath fund raiser. I am not much of a fund raiser person. They do them in Elementary and Middle schools too, to raise money, but we don’t participate much in those. The Wreath fund raiser sold about $1600 worth of fresh wreaths, however, the catch is that it cost us $1400 to purchase the wreaths. So we only made about $400 profit and for all the work we did, it’s just not worth it. Our troop decided we are not doing this next year.

Shoutback has a auction system that to me, seems better than soliciting at work and in the neighborhood. Maybe I can take this back to our Troop and see what they say. We need ideas in order for us to have the boys go to the week long camp out this summer. Its a great camp out, but its rather expensive per boy. Plus, our Troop is growing and we need camping equipment too! Fun stuff like tents, chairs, cooking gear, and of course the occasional after camp out fast food stop!
