This usually generates a couple thousand dollars in donations. We will need parents who have trucks or trailer to assist with this project. Chamber of Commerce Directory distribution Every year the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce publishes a business directory. This again involves several weekends and parent driving support. We are in the process of renovating a food service trailer that will better enable support of these fundraising activities.
Car wash Generally every summer the troop holds a car wash at a local gas station.
This may involve the Scouts selling advance tickets for the car wash or depend on the Scouts attracting drive-by traffic. This generally generates several hundred dollars in donations for a day's work. Individual patrols can also hold their own fundraisers. The mistletoe is then made available to the patrols that want to participate. The mistletoe is prepared and bagged by each patrol, then sold at the entrances of various supportive businesses in the community.
