Fundraisers
Throughout the years, our
troop participates in many fund-raisers in orders to generate the funds needed to operate.
It takes a great amount of money even to operate a small troop. Fund-raisers help relieve
the costs of camping and supplies that otherwise parents may be responsible for. We
encourage all scouts to participate in troop fundraising
events.
Service Projects
Our scouts have many
opportunities to participate in service projects. Service projects are non-profit work hours
donated by the boys to the surrounding communities. Troop 109’s summer project was an
adopt-a-street where the troop cleans up a two mile section of a street in Riverside .
Different scouting service projects require different numbers of hours to complete and all
projects must meet the approval of the scoutmaster. Some ideas for projects are city
beautification, adopt-a-street where a troop will clean up a section of
street.
