Troop Fundraising – We Need Your Help Shaping What Comes Next

Posted on Oct 29 2025 - 8:58pm

As we look ahead, the Troop committee recognizes that our current fundraising approach needs a refresh. This year, only 10 families participated in the wreath sale. We'd like to find something that will hopefully benefit more scouts and families.

We're asking for a small team of parents to explore new fundraising opportunities for the Troop. This team will research and recommend one or more fundraisers that could be more appealing and effective for our scouts and families.

A few key guidelines for any proposed fundraiser:

  • The Troop cannot pay money upfront to participate.
  • We don’t have storage space for products or “show and sell” items.
  • Any product or activity must align with BSA principles and not compete with council-run fundraisers.
  • Timing of the fundraiser can change if that works better for families.
  • Per BSA policy, scouts cannot solicit donations on behalf of the Troop.


We’re also open to improving our current wreath fundraiser — possibly by finding a local supplier to avoid large case purchases and leftover inventory. This year, the Troop had to order an additional $700 in products to meet minimum order requirements (items are sold by the case), which we’ll need to recover through extra sales or risk taking a loss.

Finally, any new fundraiser must be fully managed by the fundraising team — including order tracking, payment collection, and communication with families and vendors.

Remember, product sales aren’t the only option. Scouts can also fund their activities independently through things like yard work, snow shoveling, dog walking, babysitting, or other neighborhood jobs — all great ways to build responsibility while earning funds for scouting.

If you’re interested in joining the Fundraising Ideas Team, please send Tiffany an email, she will connect you with others who volunteer so the group can start exploring options together.

Thank you for supporting the Troop and helping us find the best path forward!

Elections are Coming Up!

Posted on Oct 6 2025 - 8:05am
It’s time for our next Troop Leadership Elections!
 
Elections will take place at the Halloween Party on Monday, October 27th. 
If you’re interested in serving in a leadership position, please complete Leadership Position Form linked below and submit it by October 20th.
 
You may check up to two positions you’d like to be considered for.
Before submitting your form, be sure to review the Leadership Goals - also provided on Google form. This will help you fully understand what each position involves, and the level of commitment expected.
 
 
The Leadership Goals are also on the Troop website under Files/Leadership in the menu on the left-hand side. 
 
Remember! - Serving in a Troop leadership role is an important part of your Scouting journey. As part of your responsibility, you are expected to be active and participate regularly for the full six-month term to receive full leadership credit.
 
Scouts who are not consistently active will receive partial credit and will need to serve in another leadership role to complete the requirement for rank advancement.
Leadership is about showing up, helping your fellow Scouts, and setting a good example. If you’re ready to take this next step—now’s your chance!
 

Spend a Long Fall Weekend in the Adk at Massawepie

Posted on Sep 17 2025 - 12:26pm

Troop Adventure Alert: Fall Campout at Massawepie!

We’re heading back to the Adirondacks! This fall, the troop returns to Camp Massawepie, one of our favorite places, for a weekend of adventure, exploration, and unforgettable memories.

Massawepie will serve as our home base as we dive into all the Adirondacks have to offer. Maybe we’ll hike a high peak, maybe our older Scouts will trek out to an outpost, or maybe we’ll just enjoy the quiet beauty and cooler side of camp life. Whatever path you choose, it’s going to be awesome. Please sign up now so we can better plan this campout!

The Adirondacks in the fall? There’s nothing quite like it. Crisp air, colorful leaves, and unbeatable scenery. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this amazing trip.

A campfire will occur Sunday night with awards presented.

Council has provided the following information:

  • Shotgun will run during the weekend
  • Bikes will be available
  • Disc golf and other sports equipment/yard games will be available 
  • Climbing/canoeing TBD
  • Archery TBD
  • Woodworking seminar with Matt
  • We are expecting a visit/activity with a professional Search and rescue crew that practices at camp
  • There will be service and conservation service opportunities 

Sign up now and get ready to explore!

Visit a Corn Maze with your Troop Mates

Posted on Sep 17 2025 - 7:59am

Troop Corn Maze Adventure!

We’re heading out to the Corn Maze at Powers Farm Market for some fall fun, and you won’t want to miss it! While we had hoped to fit this into a Troop meeting (as we talked about in the PLC), the maze isn’t open during the week. Instead, we’re inviting Scouts, families, and friends to join us for this special outing.

Register here by 10/1 https://bsatroop167.mytroop.us/node/8893

Scouts should wear their Class B's. In true Scouting spirit, we’ll put our navigational skills to the test as we work our way through the maze—maybe even with a friendly patrol competition to see who can find their way fastest!

Bring your family, and don’t forget—you can also invite a friend in grades 5–8! If your friend comes to a troop meeting afterward, we’ll refund the Scout’s admission in the form of a $10 Amazon gift card as a thank-you for sharing the adventure. 

Cost: $10 per person

Activities include:

Corn Maze (patrol challenge!)

Pedal Cars

Farm Ski Ball

Farm Tour Hayride (~20 min.)

Pick Your Own Pumpkin

Photo ops

Corn Bin Basketball

Petting Zoo (feed available for purchase)

It’s going to be a fantastic fall outing—come join us and make it even better by bringing a friend!
