The Boys Scouts differ from the Girl Scouts in many respects. But one of the main differences is when it comes to Boy Scout Fundraising. The Girl Scouts are supported in large part by their well known cookie sales. Boy Scouts and their troops, however, make their own fundraising decisions. Many councils participate in popcorn sales, but the strong competition in many areas causes troops to look for alternative ways to raise funds. I've seen troops selling many different items and services including poinsettas, wreaths, carwashes, flags, and even mulch.

To help with your efforts, here are some Boy Scout fundraising ideas you might consider. These Boy Scout fundraisers are offered by Easy Fundraising Ideas, which operates a user friendly fundraising website. While you will find hundreds of different Boy Scout and Cub Scout fundraising ideas on that website, I'd like to take a moment to present a few of them here.

• One of the top Boy Scout fund raisers is selling chocolate candy bars. Consider selling the Original One Dollar Bar for your candy fundraiser. These are the largest one dollar fundraising chocolate candy bars available. They are packaged in patriotic wrappers that look like one dollar bills. Besides the size and great flavor smaller groups will love the fact that they can purchase as little as one case of candy at a time.
• Another great Boy Scout fund raising program is holding a frozen cookie dough fundraiser. This works well for Boy Scouts because there is no cost or risk to start the fundraiser. Each scout is given a free brochure and order form and pre sells the cookie dough. They collect their money at order time. At the end of a suggested two week sale the orders are tallied and money collected used to pay for the bulk cookie dough order.
• One last Boy Scout fund raiser to consider is selling fundraising flower bulbs. This is a pre sell or brochure fundraiser like cookie dough so there is no cost to get started. There are two seasonal programs so the bulbs can be sold any time of the year. Scouts make 50% profit on every bulb sold. Flower bulbs are great fundraising products that sell well and are easy to handle.
