The annual rummage sale serves as an important fundraiser for Troop 36. Proceeds help support scouting activities throughout the year, including trips to Boy Scout camp and other educational experiences that help young people build leadership skills, confidence, and independence.
Scout camps give participants the chance to learn outdoor skills such as camping, hiking, and teamwork while also working toward merit badges and developing friendships that often last a lifetime. For many scouts, camp is one of the most memorable and impactful parts of their scouting experience.
Funds raised from the rummage sale help ensure that scouts are able to participate in these opportunities, regardless of financial circumstances.
Community members are encouraged to stop by, browse the selection, and support the troop.
Every penny helps, and each purchase directly supports local scouts as they learn valuable life skills and prepare to become the next generation of community leaders.
