We’re raising funds for a new, larger trailer to support our Scouting adventures, while also giving each Scout the opportunity to earn credits in their Scout Account for camping fees.
The Amazing Product: we’re selling a fantastic organic fertilizer that’s safe for kids and pets. It’s even used at the Houston Zoo! This slow-releasing fertilizer won’t burn your lawn and comes in convenient 40-pound bags. Use 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet on lawns or double the amount for bushes and plants.
Where to Buy or Make a Donation: Troop 54 Online Store – Fertilizer
When: The fundraiser runs from February 25 to April 29, 2025, with deliveries scheduled for the weekend of May 2-3. You can conveniently purchase fertilizer through the Troop Store—no cash handling or sales tracking required!
Fabulous Prizes:
- Every bag or donation of $25 or more earns you an entry into our weekly gift card drawing.
- The patrol that sells the most bags wins a special dinner and dessert on a campout, cooked by our very own Goat Grubmaster!
- Scouts can also earn $10 per bag towards their Scout Account, and the sales count towards the Entrepreneurship Merit Badge.
