Boy and Girl Scouts Receive Fundraising Monies from Spring Tree Sales Program

The Town of New Glarus Parks Commission at their June 17 meeting presented Boy Scout Troop 106 and Girl Scout Troop 2037 with monies earned during distribution of trees from the commission's annual Tree Sale Program. Scout Leaders Tami and David Woerpel, accompanied Boy Scouts Skyler and Brandon Woerpel and Girl Scout Elizabeth Woerpel, at the Parks Commission's monthly meeting in the Town Hall. Both Scout groups assisted the commission with separating, documenting orders and receiving payments during the distribution on Saturday, May 9th. The Scouts were a key part of handing out the six varieties of 515 trees that were pre-ordered and 53 trees that were purchased that day. Elizabeth stated that the Girl Scout Troop is planning to use their funds for a destination trip in the US or overseas. Skyler said the Boy Scout Troop will use theirs for their annual Scout Camp this summer. The Parks Commission would welcome contact from other community youth groups that would be interested in participating in their programs as a fundraising vehicle.
