Great Rivers Council believes every youth should have the opportunity to benefit from Scouting. There may be circumstances where youth and their family need help financially to take part in Scouting.
Council Fundraisers
Thrifty Tickets and Popcorn/Burger sales provide excellent fundraising opportunities for units. Units earn a 50% commission on all Popcorn/Burger products sold and a 65% commission on each Thrifty Ticket sold. These initiatives carry minimal to no risk for the unit and are pre-approved by the council.
