2008 Holiday Wreath Fundraiser!

It's time again for our annual Pack 336 Fundraiser! Your efforts help finance Pack 336 activities, including: Pinewood Derby Cars and Trophies, Space Derby Rockets, rank awards, numerous patches and awards, facility rental, Blue and Gold Dinner, etc.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF PACK 336!!!

The Fundraising Program: This year, as in past years, scouts can earn great scouting prizes based on the number of products sold. For families that prefer not to participate in the fundraising program, we have a buy-out option. Those who chose the buyout option are asked to make an $80.00 per scout donation to help offset the cost of operating the Cub Scout pack program. (If you choose the buyout option, please see Buyout Option letter attached). This year’s pack budget is based on 50 scouts selling 12 units each. If you sell less than 12 units, please see the "Buyout Option letter" attached for your pro-rated portion of the buyout.

New This Year: There is a 36" Victorian wreath available for $30.00. Please also note that the 25" Classic Wreath and the 25" Victorian Wreath have gone up $1.00 in price. All other wreath prices have stayed the same.

How to Sell: Scouts should be in uniform and with a parent. Consider selling with a buddy. Sell to family and friends, co-workers, and neighbors. The customer should fill out the form, as the form will serve as the "proof of purchase" for each sale. You are encouraged to make a thank-you receipt to give to your customers, stating what they bought and estimated delivery date. Scouts may collect money at time of sale (this makes delivery easy - you can leave the product on their doorstep if they are not home), however it is not required.

All products can be viewed on the distributors website here.
