The proceeds from this sale will be split between the individual scouts who participate and the troop. 


The scouts are permitted to use their earnings for any scout-related expense, such as the cost of Horseshoe Summer Camp or a high adventure trip to Canada or Florida Sea Base or Disney.


The Troop will use its share of the proceeds to pay for all expenses related to the troop program during the scout year.  Because of this commitment, the monthly program is free to the scouts, the scouts attend meetings and campouts, day and weekend trips at no cost to them.
