How can my troop earn additional money for planned activities?
This is also covered in the money-earning section of the troop policies. Troops cannot ask for monetary donations from businesses. Activities must be service related or product related. There are samples of money-earning projects listed. Car washes, football field cleanup, etc would be samples of service related money-earning projects. Bake sales, yard sales, sub sales, etc would be examples of product related. We do not sell products from another vendor such as Avon, Tupperware, Pizza Hut, etc. Any sale of this type could be construed as an endorsement by Girl Scouts, which we do not do. My troop wants to raise money for UNICEF. Can we? Girl Scouts cannot raise or solicit money for other organizations. This is a national policy through GSUSA. However, GSUSA has allowed troops to raise money and support special relief efforts such as Hurricane Katrina. This is not the normal procedure. If you have any questions, please e-mail Roberta.Richmond@bdgsc.org.
