A Scout is Thrifty.This year, the Troop has made changes to make it easier for you to sell and collect payment. Remember that half of the sales go to your account. If you sell thirty-five wreaths, you will make over $500.
Website App.We are online ordering via a secure website, https://troop-179-wreath-sales.company.site/ You can access the site from your computer, tablet or phone. Enter the orders or have your customers do it directly. Remember to have your customers enter your name as the seller in order to get credit.
How do I know what my customer orders. .Each Wednesday the Troop will post a file to the troop website (both PDF & Excel) that you can download. The file lists all the orders we have received organized by the seller’s name. From there it t easy to find your name and see all your sales. If something isn’t right, you can contact our Wreath team to get it fixed. You must be logged into your doubleknot account to view or download the files.

More Information.
Our wreath committee like everything else in 179 is 100% volunteer help to make it happen for the Scouts. Our Wreath Chair is Keri Rozansky (krozansky@keriwriter.com) and George Rozansky (rozanskyg@protonmail.com). We ask for help with the sale (the families of many scouts help year-after-year). Help that is needed:
Order Taking (Tuesdays; October through Mid-November)
Kit Building (Saturday, 2 weeks prior to Thanksgiving)
Greens Pickup (Friday, prior to Thanksgiving)
Distribution Day (Saturday, prior to Thanksgiving)
Payment Processing (Tuesdays; Mid-November through Mid-December)
Wreath Fulfillment Trailer (Tuesdays; Mid-November through Mid-December)
Getting involved in working the wreath sale is a great opportunity to get to know the other Scouts and their families with a short-term commitment. If you can help please contact Keri Rozansky (krozansky@keriwriter.com).
Raising funds through selling wreaths helps the Scout to pay their own way. Money earned from the wreath sale receives a 50% commission that goes directly to the Scout’s account and can be used to pay the Annual Dues, Monthly Activity Fees, Special Event Activity Fees, and the Annual Membership Fees. A Scout that sells $900.00 worth of wreaths is putting $450.00toward the cost of Scouting. Our bestselling wreath, the 12” (24” outside diameter) wreath is $29. Sell only 35 of these wreaths and you add over $500.00 into your account eliminating the last five monthly $96.00 your asked to pay!
People who typically buy wreaths are family, friends, co-workers, neighbors and others in the community. Think also out of the box, Home Owner Associations, Businesses, Churches, and Other Public Buildings often purchase and hang wreaths during the holidays. Keep in mind that Selling Wreaths is “Less about selling wreaths and more about Supporting Scouting.” Be sure to ask “Would You Like to Support my Scouting?” Customers are supporting your Scout’s activities. Scouts should talk about places you’ve gone and things you’ve done because of Scouting. We provide customers with a high-quality wreath, similar to that sold at florists. Some people would rather give the Scout a cash donation instead of purchasing a wreath. 100% of these donations are applied directly to the Scout’s Account.
