There was a discussion about Raise Right at the last committee meeting and if anyone (e.g. new scouts' parents) would be interested in learning more about.  If there's enough interest then perhaps  a quick meeting to discuss how it works and the benefits it could provide for funding your scout's due and camping trips.  The Raise Right website is easy to use and allow you to purchase [physical and electronic gift cards with a percentage of the gist card amount going towards your scout's funding account.  Percentages range from 1-2% for chain stores (e.g. Meijer, Amazon, Home Depot, etc) and upwards of 20% for more dining/entertainment types of shopping (e.g. movies, chain restaurants and fast food).  Specials deals with a boost in percentage kick back can be found around Thanksgiving.

Dear John Richard,

I am writing to convey my deep sense of pride and gratitude for the outstanding contribution of the Scouts in supporting Wreaths Across America today.  I would like to recognize these units from the Oakland County area (BSA Troops 366, 123, 60, 40, 255, Crew 4255, Packs 182, 135, 149, 83, 124, 106, and GSA Troops 77199, 75200, 423) These were just some of the units from across the nation from Boy Scouts and Girls Scout that were participating in this program.  Their commitment to service, respect, and remembering our fallen heroes through wreath-laying ceremonies exemplifies the highest ideals of scouting.

It is with immense pride that we acknowledge the efforts and dedication displayed by each Scout involved in this noble cause. Your enthusiasm and willingness to give back to the community have not only touched the lives of the families of our nation's veterans but have also inspired others to follow in your footsteps.

The values of honor, duty, and community service that the Scouts embody are a testament to the positive impact that youth can have on society. Your participation in Wreaths Across America reflects the spirit of selflessness and compassion that defines the scouting movement.

As leaders, mentors, and role models, you have demonstrated the importance of actively contributing to the well-being of our communities. Your involvement in Wreaths Across America serves as a beacon of hope and a shining example of the positive change that can be brought about through collective action.

Thank you for upholding the principles of scouting and making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

 

Sincerely yours in Scouting,

Dan Welsh and Paul Hardy

Allen,

As we are fully into Summer I want to reach out and say thank you for your generous gift of time in supporting Troop 366.
