Help Your Scout Earn Money For Camp

Sell Gertrude Hawk Chocolates

The Spring Product Sale is designed to help Scouts earn their way to summer camp, day camp, a BSA high adventure base, or raise money for the unit’s outdoor program.  This year, we have decided to sell Gertrude Hawk Chocolates as a take order and online sale.  Units participating in this program earn 25% commission from each product sold. 

Why Gertrude Hawk?

  • Well known quality products with comparable price range to our Popcorn and Nut Sale
  • 25% commission for participating Scouts (i.e. Sell $100 of candy, earn $25 for camp)
  • SUPER, SUPER easy
  • Prize program for participating Scouts
  • Online Selling Option
  • Did we mention, SUPER, SUPER easy

Sell Scouting, Not Just Chocolates!

Families should understand that they are not just selling delicious chocolates but selling Scouting – a summer camp or Scouting experience that will reinforce Scouting’s aims of character development, citizenship training and personal fitness in youth. Be sure to emphasize that each sale helps a Scout go to camp. The greatest likelihood for a successful fundraiser is having everyone know they are supporting Scouting. Scouts can sell chocolates to friends, family members, and businesses in their communities who want to help Scouts earn their way to camp!
