Scout Show Booth

Hosting a Scout Show booth and participating in the 2010 Scout Show, “Celebrating the Adventure-Continuing the Journey” allows your Scouts to show off some of the great things they have done recently, or develop a new and exciting activity for your Scouts to create. Ideas for a Scout Show booth can be found throughout the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Exploring and Venturing programs, and should, but don't necessarily have to incorporate this year's theme into your booth. Let your Scouts get creative and have fun with this, but please review the Guide to Safe Scouting before finalizing your booth plans to ensure your unit's booth is Scouting appropriate. Have Fun!

BSA Discount Card Sales Fundraiser

1.    Reserve BSA Discount Cards by completing the online reservation form no later than February 21st, 2010. If you missed the deadline, there will be cards available for your unit to check out at the March Roundtable and at the Customer Service Counter in Scout Headquarters.

2.    Work with Scouts and parents to develop a sales strategy plan. Reserve storefront retail locations to sell discount cards by contacting Store Managers for King Soopers, Albertsons, Safeway, Bass Pro, and other retail locations in your area that will let your Scouts sell in front of their stores. Divide sales times in shifts amongst your Scouts. Download the 2010 Scout Show poster here. Help promote the Scout Show with your unit and with your chartered organization. Ask permission to hang up the Scout Show promotional flyer in high traffic, highly visible location.
