The kickoff for this year’s sale is Feb 14, at our regular meeting. Scouts will get their mulch route, and order forms, and we’ll prep the letters, and go over the sales process. This is an important meeting for all scouts (and AOL Crossovers) to attend! The mulch delivery date is April 22.

Mulch
From the mulch team:
Saturday Apr 7th is the big mulch delivery! If you sold mulch this year you are expected to help deliver. Please be at the church for check-in by 8:00 AM this Saturday. Ensure that you have the proper clothing since it is going to be in the 40’s Saturday (Do NOTwear your uniform). Be prepared to get dirty. Also bring gloves, a water bottle, and an adult. Remember, you will receive 1/3 credit for selling, 1/3 credit for helping deliver, and the final 1/3 for having a parent or other adult help deliver.
We will be delivering mulch until it is gone (approx 4-5pm) and the more help that we have, the faster it goes. This is a fundraiser for the Scouts themselves as well as a team effort. By not helping, you are putting more burden on the other Scouts and parents to carry your load as the mulch still needs to be delivered. If you are arriving late, please check-in at the church parking lot to ensure that you get “delivery credit”. If you need to leave during the course of the day for another activity or event, please come back to the church lot when you finish and we can locate a delivery team for you to join.
Breakfast will be available around 8:00 AM and a full luxurious lunch will be served around noon as delivery teams rotate in.
If you have any questions please let us know!
