Spring Fundraiser
First Aid Kit Sale (optional)
The PA Dutch Council is sponsoring a Spring First Aid Kit sale again this year, and we are very thankful that Erin (Gage's Mom) will be our Unit Fundraising Champion for this program. As a reminder, the Spring sale is completely optional (Popcorn in the Fall is our required Fundraiser) but many scouts choose to participate to help to fill their Scout Account to pay for Summer Camp.
