FLEA MARKET 2017

First Saturday of each month from April to November 5:30 AM - 1:30 PM

The Flea Market on an average brings in to our Troop $ 5,400.00 a season. This is for 8 days of work!

 April 1st                May 6th               June 3rd               July 1st                 August 5th          September 2nd                                October 7th                        November 4th

The money earned at the Flea Market does the following:

·       Provides and maintains camping equipment; such as tents, camping stoves, cooking equipment, etc.

·       Bought a new larger trailer for the Troop and outfitted it.  $6,000.

·       Bought a new pop up (canopy) .

·       Pays the cost of adult and scout leadership training.

·       Gift card donated with Thanksgiving Baskets. $150 annually

·       Pays dues for our Adult Scouters. $1,050 annually

·       Nullifies the need to do a mandatory popcorn sale.  Our popcorn sale is voluntary, and the money that the scout earns goes into their *scout account.

·       *scouts can use money in their scout account to pay for summer and high adventure camps as well as  other campout expenses.

Additional benefits of working the Flea Market:

Ø  SSL hours for scouts

Ø  Fun Fun Fun

We need at least 4 adult and 6 scout covering the shifts from 5:30 AM to 1:30 PM

Scouts and Adult Scouters should wear their Class A uniforms.  Parent volunteers should wear their Class B uniforms.  ALL VOLUNTEERS should be in comfortable closed-toed shoes.

Scouts who have completed 5th grade will earn SSL hours for the time they worked.

Please contact Leslie Guerra at Leslie.Guerra@verizon.net  or sign up at the back table at any scout meeting if you can work any of the shifts.  Remember each scout at one of their parent/guardian are required to work at least one Flea Market shift each season.
