Giving Square

I recently went to lunch with a Scoutmaster from a nearby town. We actually met to talk about some other business, but ended up talking about how his boy scout organization could use Giving Square to raise money for their summer camp.

Turns out that this summer they are planning to take their boys to Philmont for summer camp. First, I can’t tell you how jealous I am that they are planning to go to Philmont for summer camp. Second, I realize how much money they are going to have to raise in order to make summer camp at Philmont a reality for these Boy Scouts.

As I talked about how Giving Square could work for a Boy Scout troop looking to go to Philmont, I was amazed that I hadn’t thought about the Boy Scouts before. Ok, I had thought about them some, but for some reason I’d always focused more on the sports fundraising side of things.

Well, I’ve started to change that way of thinking. I’ve already put in a number of marketing efforts in regards to helping boy scout troops fundraise. I’ll be doing a lot more to help boy scout troops as well. After the new year, many boy scout troops are going to be ready to start working on their fundraising so they have enough money for boy scout summer camp. We’re going to be doing everything we can at Giving Square to help boy scout troops reach their fundraising goals.
