Weekends in March are when Troop 191 holds its annual fertilizer fundraiser. Each year the troop provides area residents with competitively priced fertilizer products. The scouts sell door to door in caravans on Saturdays and Sundays in March.
The funds raised are used to pay troop expenses, but a portion of all proceeds go into the scouts individual troop account. This account can be used by scouts to help pay for camping trips, camping supplies and summer camp. Half of total proceeds will be divided and applied towards the participating scout's troop account in proportion to the amount of hours they put in. To get credit for the sales, your scout must participate with the troop in the weekend sales drives. Individual sales will count towards the troop totals, but only the group event hours will count towards the money put into your scout's account. Hours put in by adult volunteers will also count towards their son's account, or for leader/committee member, into their own account.
We are using the Troop 191 website for sign-ups.

Please visit the website and sign up for as many time slots as you can.
We generally need several adults per session to help with driving and provide supervision for the boys.
We meet in the Hoppock School parking lot at the start time. It is important to be on time.
NOTE: Always in full uniform
Clipboards and pens would be helpful.
Any available scout and parent is encouraged to join us in this important fundraiser. The boys have a good time, learn some communication skills and meet their neighbors, all while helping out the troop and themselves. Please listen for troop announcements at weekly meetings for any changes.
