A district chair in our council had a wonderful idea that has been working really well. He has started a campaign to ask churches to do a second offering on behalf of scouting. At his church alone $865 was raised in new money just last month! 2 other churches are already on board to do the same thin6 in November. It is really helping us to raise the money we need in a down economy.

Note: Some churches are in the middle of their own campaigns for their 2010 budget but I have received 1 firm commitment from a church to do a second offering on Scout Sunday (February 7, 2010). I plan to use this with many other churches that day. The Methodist Church has been particularly responisive to this request.

I am attaching some materials a Senior District Executive, Mary Beth Wilfong, came up with to support this campaign.

We just got another $175 this weekend from this. It makes me laugh to see so many negative votes. No one has really posted a good reason as to why it is not a good idea. All I know is it is working for me.
