Fundraising Overview.

There is only one period of fundraising for Cub Scouts Pack 103 - it runs from Mon. Sept. 21 through (order/sales turn in) on Mon. Oct. 28. 

​

• Wreath sale profits go directly to Pack 103 programs and activities.

• Popcorn helps fund Northern Star Council-level projects like camp improvements, materials & leader training.

​

There are several options for Popcorn sales:

1. Show & Sell at a local Ace Hardware on Saturday mornings in October.  Scout + Parent sign up for location(s), day(s), time(s). The Pack purchases popcorn up-front and the Scouts sell it.

2. Individual sales. Scouts sell and take popcorn orders directly from friends, relatives, neighbors.

​

Wreaths are sold only through individual sales. Scouts sell and take wreath orders directly from friends, relatives, neighbors.

​

Popcorn & Wreath orders arrive on Sat. Nov. 23, for Scout + Parent pickup and delivery to customers -- arriving just prior to the Thanksgiving holiday. (Same day as Raingutter Regatta.)
