Fish fry was a success!

Thanks to everyone's efforts we earned over $700 for the boys of Troop 165 with today's fish fry- woohoo!  We appreciate everyone in the community that came out and supported the scouts today. 

When you see them be sure and thank the following people:  Tanya for keeping things organized and straight, Kim for the fish preparation, Bo and Bill for all the cooking, Cheryl, Chris, Mary Beth, and Susan for taking care of the front and filling in where needed, the boys that helped serve, run, and clean up, and Doug for all that he does.  Good job!

Fish fry on 8/24

Be sure and get your scout out to sell fish fry tickets this weekend! 

The fish fry is on 8/24, so money and unsold tickets are due back to the troop Tuesday night. 

We'll need everyone to turn out to help with the fish fry - be sure and let Mr. Doug know that you'll be there and where you can help out. 

Thanks for helping make this another successful fund raiser for the troop!

Troop 165 Fish Fry coming up 8/24

This Troop runs on a shoestring budget. We do not want to increase dues. We hold several fundraisers during the year to help the Scouts raise money to go to Summer Camp. We only hold one fundraiser where the Troop receives any reward. That is our fish fry. Tickets are $8.00. For every  ticket sold the Scout receives $1.00. The rest of the profit goes to the Troop to help with expenses.

We have expenses few other Troops have. We have our own power bill.  Our own water bill. We have a Scout bus, a canoe trailer, 5 canoes, a scout trailer and our very own Scout Hut to meet in. All of which require money to operate.

Unlike a lot of Troops we do not have a financial supporter. We have to take care of ourselves. That is why this fundraiser is so important to us.

We ask that every parent volunteer at least 3 hours toward the fish fry.  ** Please **

August 5th @ 7pm is our planning meeting.

Please attend and help the scouts of Troop 165.
