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.

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:
