Wreath Sales Website - www.Troop1min.org/wreaths
Please use the sales website for contactless payments and orders. These are for local sales.
The use of this sales website goes hand in hand with the Wreath Sales Flyer.
www.Troop1min.org/wreaths is a redirect site - trying to simplify the url.
If pop-ups are blocked or there is a problem there is a link to the square site at the top of the page. https://boy-scout-troop-1.square.site/wreath-fundraiser
Thanks to Ann Wempner and Steve Rozatis for setting up this online store!
Out of town sales that want things shipped to them can use the Evergreen Industries direct ship site. I'm not sure how we track these sales.
Tracking In-Person Sales
Scouts selling wreaths in person need to collect the money at the time of the sale.
Here is a Google Sheet if you're interested in tallying your sales here. You'll need to make a copy. This sheet does the math for you. So you can double-check, etc. Online sales will not go on this sheet. Thanks to Janell Newell for your work on this!
Selling door-to-door you may want to use this sheet. Wreath Order Form
Thanks to Ann Wempner for making this easy-to-use sheet.
Online Sales - Online Store Supervisor needed
Being an Online Store manager is an adult(s) job. They will need to monitor the online store at the square site, create a spreadsheet so we can track orders and credit sales to the appropriate Scouts, and provide weekly updates so Scouts have a clue as to how effective their efforts are.
This is job is beyond the scope of the Treasurer responsibilities, though they'll be able to help. If you're interested or willing to help please reach out to Ann Wempner.

A good free tool for creating routes is mymaps.google.com

Welcome the New Treasury Team!
It finally happened! The troop was able to find some victims volunteers to fill the treasurer post! Special thanks to Ann Wempner & Steve Rozatis & Andrea Murrill for stepping up. It takes teamwork to make the dream work. Ann and Steve will work the "bankside" and Andrea will be working with the Scoutbook and Scout account allocations/deductions. We thank Jen Newberg for her previous hard work in the post and Ruth Wikoff-Jones for stepping in on an interim basis to migrate us over for Scoutbook usage.
If you need to reach the treasurer team, please reach out using the Treasurer email.
You Scout's account balance is visible to you in Scoutbook via the "payments" link. Please don't reach out asking for the balance unless you believe there is a discrepancy.

Troop 1 Website - Seek adult / professional help.
The Troop 1 site is a google site and its got some funky restrictions. If anybody is a pro and wants to monkey with it, I'd love for that to happen and then "Webmaster" maintenance can be more of a scout job/position of resposibility (PoR) - as it should be. Right now that's very hard because it's such an unintuitive mess.
