Scout Camp fundraising begins

I have the great opportunity to go to two scout camps this summer. One is sponsored through our ward and I will be involved in fundraising for that with my scout troop. The other is with another ward in our area and it is at the Rodney Scout Reservation here in MD. Our ward camp is focusing mainly on Duty to God and the RSR is focused more on Scouting. In order to attend the RSR my parents said I need to do my own fundraising to earn the money. The cost to attend is $315 for five days.

I wanted to do something that would help me to pass off merit badges and earn the money I need for camp. There will be three parts to my fundraising. First is a read-a-thon I am doing this week. I sent out an email to a lot of people but I might have missed someone. I post more tomorrow about the read-a-thon. Second, I am doing a bake sale. This will be in my own neighborhood and will be when it gets warmer outside. Third, I am going to bake bread and sell it. I will only do this final step if I haven't raised enough money from the first two parts.

I will update my blog as I work towards each one.
