Trash Bag
sales: The price of
$10 per roll was established. Scouts may
purchase bags for $10 to sell on their own. The bags must be
paid for up-front. A credit of $2 per roll will be given to the
scout’s summer camp account.
When a scout
participates in sales at Colonial, or other venue, he will be
given credit of $1 per roll. The total number of rolls sold
that day divided by the number of scouts in attendance will
determine the amount of credit. |
