Fundraising is an important part of the Cub Scout program and makes many of the event opportunities for the scouts possible. Each year, the scouts have the option to participate in 2 fundraising activities as outlined below or they have the option to pay and opt-out activity fee.
Fundraising Goals: $400 per scout
Opt-Out Fee: $200 per scout
Please note: Money should never be an obstacle that prevents a child from participating in the cub scout program. If you or someone you know is in need of additional accommodations or resources, please reach out to Anthony Pagnotto for further information.

Popcorn sales run from August-October and the popcorn will be delivered in early November.
There are two separate ways to account for your popcorn sales, as described below.
Door to Door Sales
Each scout will document local/door to door sales on a paper order form and collect money from their sales to turn in at the end of the fundraiser.
The popcorn will be delivered to the cub scout who will then be responsible for delivering the popcorn to each of their customers.
Online Sales
Each scout will receive an email with their own unique link to access the online popcorn sales page.
There are different popcorn options and bundles available online than there are on the paper order form.
Popcorn ordered online will be delivered directly to the customer, therefore, the scout will not have to deliver this popcorn themself.

2024 Wreath sales will run from early October - early November, and wreaths will be delivered in late November.
A paper order form will be handed out to each scout, but all wreath sales will need to be uploaded online on Wreath Sale Website.
ALL orders must be placed and paid for online through the wreath sale website listed below. Customers must place and pay for their orders on the website.
Please remind your customers who order directly on the website: During the “Select” step of checkout they will be asked: “Who should get credit for your payment?”
Customers will then need to click on “Choose a participant”, and select your scout’s name (this is very important as it is the only way we can keep track of individual scout orders).
Your scout is also welcome to use the paper order form to take door-to-door/in-person orders, but the scout family must submit and pay for all orders from the paper form through the website. You'll need to keep your paper order form to keep track of your scout’s door-to-door sales and delivery of items.
ALL customer orders must be delivered by the scout/scout family to the customer (orders CANNOT be shipped directly to customers from Northwoods Wreaths)
How to get started:
Please visit our Northwoods Wreaths Pack 130 online sales site: https://go.wreathsaleapp.com/cub-scout-pack-130-wreaths-2024
Once you are on the site, select “Participants”, and find your scout.
Click on your scout’s name. This will lead you to his/her individual page.
Once you are on your scout’s individual page, copy that URL to send to your customers. This will direct customers to your scout’s specific fundraising page.
Send your scout’s sales page to your customers and they will be able to place and pay for their orders.
Order deadline:
November 5th is the last day to place any orders. We cannot accept late orders due to the Northwoods Wreaths order deadline.
Order pickup:
Saturday, November 23rd 2024
Westgate School main entrance parking lot
1-3pm
Scout families will pick up all of their scout’s customer orders. Scout families will then be responsible for delivering their scout’s orders to each of their customers.
Please remember, there is NOT an option to ship orders directly to customers from Northwoods Wreaths.
Other Information:
Tip: During online checkout, there is the option to add a tip. Any tip helps cover platform fees, but is optional. Customers can set the tip to zero before checking out to avoid paying any tip.
Paper Order Forms: paper order forms are being distributed to den leaders for all scouts. These forms are helpful for item & pricing reference and for door-to-door use, but will not be turned in. Please keep the forms to keep track of any door-to-door/in-person orders your scout takes. All orders taken on the order form must be placed and paid for online by the scout family. Scout families will collect payment from their door-to-door customers. These payments should be made to the scout family because the scout family will need to pay for the order on the website.
If your scout’s name isn’t listed on the wreath sale website please let us know so we can have them added.
