JAMBOREE MOSEY
DOES your Troop want to earn
money for the Jamboree. Here
are some possibilities:
Feed 'Em
Pancake suppers, chicken din-
ners, bean feasts, clambakes — all
are popular, and profitable! Gro-
ceries, utensils, and other equip-
ment will cost little, possibly noth-
ing, if donated by Scout families,
grocers, or any service organiza-
tion. Troop mothers can do the
cooking and the Scouts can do the
serving.
Amuse 'Em
Even when the public expects
the show to be hammy, a Minstrel
is still a good drawing card. Other
forms of entertainment can be a
Scout Circus, a musicale, or even
a dramatic performance. Some-
times it takes a lot of work, and
a little cash investment, but if
well done it may draw a bigger
house for the second performance.
The Committee can line up outside
help, including professional talent.
Scouts and Explorers can post bills
and deliver announcements. News-
papers will usually cooperate with
plenty of publicity, but you've got
to supply them with enough infor-
mation.
Serve 'Em
There are a hundred and one
little services many people need,
but which are not commercially
profitable. For instance: Backyard
Playground for kiddies, supervised
by older Scouts, while mama is
shopping. Household Chores for
busy families, such as washing win-
dows, taking down storm windows,
putting up screens, spading the gar-
den, trimming hedges, etc. Cleaning
or minding pets. Removing scrap,
old bottles, or other junk (double
header here — sometimes the
bottles or scrap can be sold).
Other services are jobs boys usu-
ally handle without competing with
wage-earners, such as newspaper
routes, distributing handbills, or
cleaning and polishing automobiles.
Choose Carefully
When choosing a method of earn-
ing money, be careful of any tie-
ups you may make with a business
organization. Don't permit the
Scout uniform or the Boy Scouts
of America to be compromised by
commercialism. If in doubt, always
check with your Local Council.
