Last evening a number of our scouts joined Mr. Gorniak to learn a portion of orienteering and how to follow compass settings. Some of our scouts assisted in counting and tabulating what is necessary for our upcoming Annual Christmas Tree & Wreath Sale.

At next week’s meeting, we will be decorating wreaths and making signs advertising our sale.

Our Annual Christmas Tree & Wreath Sale will be on Saturday and Sunday, December 5th and 6th; 12th and 13th at Adam’s Corner beside the Grange Building (Mill Street & Peekskill Hollow Road). We sell from 9AM to dusk.

Attached are two items to help our scouts pre-sell our wreaths. One is an order sheet to keep track of whom wreaths are sold to and to help track in the collection of money. The other is a sales form, that you can print and left with your prospective buyer or email to friends. (Do Not Place In Mailboxes – this is not mail and you will be fined.)

Remember, $2 from the sale of each wreath goes to that scout, into a “scout account” which can be used for future activities or scout related purchase (i.e. knife, tent, sleeping bag).

Our wreath prices have remained stable at $15. This is the only fund raising event Troop 353 currently does.

INCENTIVE: This year, the scout who sells the most wreaths will win two passes to a movie in the Cortlandt Town Center.
