The Scouts needed to do a little fundraising for Scout Camp this year, so we got together with Bro. Stine and
Arizona Cap Company, put a couple of new Scout shirts together for this year, and decided to head down to the Crossroads Gun Show in Phoenix. Five Scouts were able to attend and run the booth, and what a fun time they had! Bro. Stine is the Counselor for the Salesmanship Merit Badge, and on the way to Phoenix he covered most of the material for the badge, and the Scouts were able to do the rest throughout the day as they learned selling and advertising techniques. The Scouts did a hard day's work and at the end had a lot to show for it - we raised a good amount of money for Scout Camp, they earned the Salesmanship Merit Badge, and a lot of them walked away with a souvenir of some sort from their time at the gun show.
Congratulations to Tanner who was our top salesman of the day - way to go! In the linked album below you'll find the shirt designs that the Scouts were mainly selling, which includes our two new designs. In addition if they sold anything from Bro. Stine's booth they got the money for that, and he was displaying shirts and hats from his
Conservative Shirts.com operation. Our Troop will be selling these and many more shirts as part of our continued fundraising efforts. The info sheet is being designed now, as well as an online checkout system, so look for that information to be posted soon!
