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.
