Green Boy Scout Fundraisers

The boy scouts are one of the most honorable groups of young men in the county.  The very foundation of the organization are principles that every parent would love for their child to strive to meet.  Many valuable life lessons can be learned by participating in the Boy Scouts of America.

But, learning the lessons of the BSA requires money.  Being a boy scout isn't cheap and many scouts turn to fundraising to cover the costs.

Take, for instance one of the most common and foundational merit badges, the Wilderness Survival merit badge.  To earn this badge, a scout must prove that they know how to treat wounds, put together a survival kit, build a fire without a match, build a shelter, and dress properly for their surroundings, among other things.  Most of the challenges do not require any money, but how does a scout pay for their survival kit and the proper clothing for different environments?  A boy scout Fundraiser is the answer.

So, what are some good boy scout fundraiser ideas?  One of the most popular options is a green fundraiser because it is designed to teach the people doing the fundraiser lessons about being more environmentally conscious.  Some of the most popular "green" fundraisers for boy scouts are tree fundraisers, flower bulb fundraisers, and vegetable garden fundraisers.
