we have very much the same problem. A big enough Troop, but very few
boys actually willing to participate in the popcorn sales. In thinking it
out, I beleive it has to do with the timing. As school starts, the boys
are asked to participate in school fundraisers, Scout fundraisers, and
usually other fundraisers. And many of them were involved in sports
during the summer and last spring, all of which had fundraisers of some
kind. Kids in general are tired of asking for money from family and
freinds when it is money they don't see go directly in their pocket.
Actually, I'm tired of fundraisrs too. I don't have any good answers, but
I do know that I lok at each fundraiser, see what the purpose is, and
then choose whether to participate or whether to just write a check.
And I have a feeling that it will only get worse!
