Troop 79 Community Rummage Sale
Saturday, September 26, Northwoods Parking Lot
Troop 79 is hosting an all Shorewood/ Bayview community rummage sale to raise funds for troop programs, camping, and equipment. All are invited to donate useful items to the sale.
Our Goal
Our goal is to raise approximately $5,000 or more for Troop 79.
A successful sale could help support:
- Troop equipment and supplies
- Advancement and leadership programs
- Financial assistance for Scouts who can't afford campout costs
- Troop events, service projects, and campouts
The more high-quality donations we receive, and the more people who attend, the more successful the sale will be.
