Unit Fundraising

Fundraising efforts are most often an essential aspect of a troop’s operations. Beyond dues, troops need additional funds for a host of necessities-everything from camping gear to repairs on a troop vehicle.

Three Fires Council has way to help units and Scouts earn their way to the adventures they are looking for.  We have our Spring sale of the best craft Hot Sauce in Illinois, Gindo’s Spice of Life. From right in our back yard.  This sale goes from April into June.
Then the fall sale of Trails End Popcorn. We have been on of the top ten councils in this sale across America.
With both sales the Scouts/units earn 30% of the sales and are likely to fully fund their adventures.

If other than a council-sponsored product sale, before deciding on a fundraiser, unit leaders should refer to Guides to Unit Money-Earning Projects. Here are some informative links, pertinent to all troop fundraising:
