What do boy scouts sell?

Question

when i was a girl scout a boy told me boy scouts sold candy bars...but i had never actually seen a boy scout sell anything, only girl scouts selling cookies...even today a decade later since i had been a girl scout.

what do boy scouts sell?

Answer 1

When I was in the BSA (Boy Scouts of America) back in 1975-1982, Boy Scouts didn't have a "national" sales program like the Girl Scouts.

Our Troop raised funds by recycling newspaper, selling X-mas trees, selling coupon books, raffle tickets, etc...

I HAVE noticed a FEW Boy Scouts lately in front of the market selling pop-corn tins... I don't know if that is a BSA approved thing, or just an available program to the troop I saw.

Answer 2

About 10 years ago we sold Popcorn, Cookies, Candy Bars, Christmas trees, and wreaths.

Answer 3

eggs .

Answer 4

They sell different kinds of popcorn

Answer 5

There is no *national* sale for the BSA as there is for GSUSA.  However, many troops do have fund raisers of various types, candy sales among them.  Popcorn sales are usually a local council sponsored sales program to raise funds for the local council to support the local programs and troop start ups and troops in areas of poverty.  They also sponsor some of the costs of the National Jamboree and scout camp scholarships.  Not all troops have or are required to participate in these, it is a troop committee decision, unlike the GSUSA which requires troops to participate in the nut and cookie sales in order to troops to also do their own individual fund raising for local projects.  Other BSA local fund raisers include having community suppers, car washes, bake sales and such.  BSA does not allow the troop itself to use raffles or games of chance as fund raisers, however, they require that each person who purchases something from a Scout receive something of equal value in return, i.e. a candy bar for a buck, or a particuly container of popcorn, etc.

Answer 6

nuts.

Answer 7

I've known a  few that sold cans of popcorn treats. that I think are called poppycock.  My friends brothers were in boy scouts and they had hotdog and pancake sales.
