The following programs operate throughout the year as a way for Scouts to earn money for activities. Depending on the program, some or all of the earnings can be placed in the participant's Scout Bucks account, where it is available to pay for campouts, activities, merchandise (troop T-shirts, sweatshirts, etc.) and high adventure programs.
Have you ever wondered how you can increase your scout bucks while helping the troop?
This is a great way to increase scout bucks and raise money for the troop while not spending any additional money. One great way to start is by purchasing enough to buy groceries and gas for the month.
Using RaiseRight couldn’t be easier. Families purchase gift cards for places where they plan to shop, and use those cards instead of cash or credit. RaiseRight sells those gift cards to our troop at a discount. We sell them to our families for full face value and our families redeem the cards for full face value. We keep the difference as a rebate, earning a percentage of every dollar spent using the scrip gift cards. Instead of making a fundraising company rich, we can keep that money within our troop with 50% going to scout buck and 50% going to the troop as a fundraiser. As an added benefit, many scrip users find that they become smarter shoppers by using the gift cards and planning ahead for every purchase.
All orders will be placed online which will allow you to purchase a wider variety of gift cards. There are three (3) types of cards available to purchase. They are as follows:
SCRIP Now! which is available in your account within 20 minutes of purchase.
Reload allows you to reload a gift card that had been purchased previously. The plastic gift cards are just like what you would buy in the store.
Plastic gift cards which will still be delivered on the second Wednesday of the month with orders needing placed by the first Wednesday of the month.
Last year, our troop earned money for tents, the trailer fund and food for camping.
