2025 Spring Sale “Cash for Camp” Information

 

The spring fundraiser is intended to help units and Scouts raise funds for program and adventure needs.  It is also a critical part of helping the Council meet its financial needs in providing a quality program for your Scouts.

This program is supplemental to the Annual Council Fall Popcorn Sale.  It is designed to help families pay for summer camp, pay dues, program fees, new uniforms, and Scouting equipment needs.  It can help pay for High Adventure treks or national level events such as NOAC or Jamboree. The money should be used to directly benefit the Scouts who participate in the sale.

 

Central Minnesota Council has teamed up with *Wrazidlo’s Old World Meats, Inc. and **Coborn’s, Inc.

 

 *Wrazidlo’s is based in Duluth and makes flavor-filled meat sticks.  The meat sticks are wood smoked with no fillers and are high in protein and low in fat.  The meat sticks are a shelf stable snack stick and have a 13-month shelf life with no refrigeration required.  Each stick is 1 oz. individually wrapped, packaged 20 sticks per caddy, with a case containing 12 caddies.  The meat sticks are sold by the caddy to the units.  The individual meat sticks are sold for $2 or $40 per caddy. Caddies must contain one flavor each. 35% of the meat stick sales will go back to the Scouts.

 

Flavors include BBQ, Buffalo, Dill Pickle, Hot, Original, Bloody Mary, Pepperoni, Teriyaki
