Results are IN!

Thanks you for your support – this year our Scouts earned over $500 into their personal scout accounts to be used towards activities.

The troop also earned enough money to purchase a new trailer so we are excited!

Scouts will be surveying their customers for feedback on how we can improve this event next time.

SALES are CLOSED

Sales are closed – we are cooking over 600 lbs of pork and nearly 100 lbs of turkey this weekend. Thank you for your support! Stay tuned for more information!

We are making the rounds in Rock Hill asking local businesses for their support – and we have a page up to demonstrate our thanks to these businesses! Check it out!

Donate!

If BBQ is not your thing you can still support Troop 205. Simply purchase BBQ and earmark it for donation to a local charity. We are close to finalizing the selected charity – stay tuned for more information!

Parents – we need your help!

Parents: For the BBQ fund raiser to work we need your help. I’m really looking forward to meeting and working with some of your parents we don’t normally get to see!

We have openings on the Processing / Packaging team, and Pickup team, and on the Cleanup team.

The Processing / Packaging team reports for duty at 0700 on Saturday October 15 and is responsible for processing the cooked meat and packaging into 1 lb containers. The pork will be chopped in electric choppers and will be sauced during the chopping phase. The turkey will be hand pulled and packaged into 1 lb containers. We need adult oversight to lead a team of ~10 scouts to perform the processing.

The Pickup team reports for duty at 0900 on Saturday October 15 and will oversee the distribution of the BBQ to the customers. Customers are expected to bring proof of purchase (ticket stubs or paypal receipt), but inevitably we expect customers will present themselves without complete proof of purchase. This will require cross checking customers off of a list of sold product.

The Cleanup team is responsible for all cleanup duties including, but not limited to, pressure washing the pavilion, cleaning and wire brushing all grills, refilling propane tanks, and otherwise returning Westminster Park to pre cook condition. The Cleanup team gets started as soon as the processing is complete – estimated to be around 1100 on Saturday October 15.

Let us know where you can help. October 14-15th are important dates on the Troop calendar. Please let us know where you can help!

Tickets on order!

Jason — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 04:48:13 +0000

We’ve ordered the tickets – 2,500 tickets for the pork and 300 tickets for the turkey. We got the pork tickets stapled in books of 10 and the turkey tickets stapled in books of 5. We’re hoping that will make is easier for the scouts to keep up with the unsold tickets.

Hopefully the tickets will be here for distribution at the next meeting 8/22/2011.

Salesmanship Merit Badge

Jason — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 22:13:42 +0000

Mr. Smith kicked off the Salesmanship Merit Badge tonight for the boys. We had nearly 30 scouts in attendance tonight and we are doing the salesmanship merit badge in conjunction with our BBQ Fund raiser.

Pulled Turkey BBQ

Jason — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 13:44:08 +0000

We’ve decided to add pulled turkey to the menu. The cooking is similar to our process for the pork – but instead of chopping the turkey we will be pulling it. Turkey is more expensive / lb, and pulling the turkey is more work – so the product costs more: $9.50 / lbs.

We are offering turkey as an alternative to our customers that would like an alternative to pork. We will process the turkey separately from pork ensuring no mixing of the pork with the turkey.

Welcome!
