The wreath sale is one of the three fund raising events held yearly by Bryn Athyn Boy Scout Troop 97 (Wreath Sale, Pancake Breakfast, Spaghetti Dinner). All monies benefit the troop and allow us to continue to provide a great scouting experience for your Scout.
This year the sale kicks-off, Wednesday, October 18th and concludes on Sunday, November 19th.
· Scout should wear uniform when selling wreaths.
· Scout should always identify themselves by name and the troop number (Troop 97)
· Your Scout has received a clipboard. It is suggested they bring that with them when selling, along with the 2023 Door to Door Order Form, a pen, and the money envelope.
· Each scout is asked to sell a minimum of 15 items (wreaths and swags). Not selling 15 items will affect eligibility for Troop support, including aid for summer camp and high adventure trips.
· All delivery orders must be paid at time of order. Pickup orders can be paid for at the Pancake Breakfast and Christmas Tree Sale.
· The Troop accepts cash or checks made out to "Bryn Athyn Troop 97". It is up to you whether you are comfortable accepting Venmo personally.
· All wreath orders not set for delivery must be picked up by your Scout’s customers at the Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, December 2nd between 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM at the Bryn Athyn Society Building. Be sure the Scout’s invite their customer to attend the Pancake Breakfast and Tree Sale. Scouts will be provided with preprinted postcards to hand out.
· Keep in mind that you and your Scout will be responsible for delivering your Scout’s orders on Saturday, December 2nd after the Pancake Breakfast. This includes orders that are not picked up. Parents need to be prepared to assist their son with this effort. Each Scout will be given an updated listing of his deliveries at the conclusion of the Pancake Breakfast. If you are unable to deliver all orders on December 2nd, please make sure the Scout is clear with their customer about when their order will be delivered. All wreath deliveries must be completed by Sunday, December 3rd, at 5:00 pm.
· Be careful to keep track of all cash and checks. Your Scout is responsible for ensuring that their orders and payments reconcile.
· Each Scout is to enter their orders from the Door-to-Door sheet into the 2023 Customer Order Computer Input Sheet, a Google doc. The link is above. All orders should be entered into this Google doc by November 19th at 5:00 pm. It helps to enter them as they receive them and not to wait until the end of the sale and enter them at once.
Prizes
There will be prizes awarded to the patrol with the highest average sales per scout within the patrol, and other prizes. There will also be a bonus prize for each Scout selling over 25 items regardless of the patrol they are in.
