We’re back! Help us keep the tradition going!

We’ll admit, last year’s sale didn’t quite go as planned. Perhaps we were a little too optimistic because we ordered more than we could sell. While a few of the leftover trees eventually found a second life as shelters for birds and fuel for our campfires, the sale itself wasn’t what we had hoped for. In fact, we weren’t sure we could keep the tradition going.

And then we remembered that the Scout Law reminds us to be trustworthy, helpful, cheerful, and thrifty.

We’ve learned from last year’s experience, ordered a more manageable number of trees, and in partnership with Troop 1577, we’re cheerfully giving our Christmas Tree Sale another try.

Here’s where you come in! We’d love for you to make us part of your holiday tradition. Stop by, pick out a beautiful fraser fir, and let us prepare it for transportation home. Every tree purchased helps support our troop’s activities, summer camp adventures, community service projects, and opportunities for our Scouts to learn, grow, and lead.

Your support means more than you might realize. It helps us keep this tradition alive and gives us the chance to experience the rewards of hard work, teamwork, and serving our community.

So let’s make this year’s sale a success! Come find your perfect tree, spread a little holiday cheer, and help us make sure our Christmas trees spend December in your living room!

Whether we’re exploring the outdoors, serving our community, learning new skills, or just having a little fun, we’re always making memories along the way!
