[Philmont]: Fund Raising Idea - Mulch

We sell bagged mulch. We've averaged 4500 bags/year sold over the last 5
years. 1st year 1650 were sold.

We sell over a 3 week period....order the mulch and they are delivered within
2 weeks. 95% of all deliveries are completed on a Saturday.

>From experience we know to over order....this year we had orders in hand for
3200, we ordered 3 truck loads (4950 bags, 1650 bags/truck, 75 bags/pallet, 22
pallets/truck)

2 cu ft bags of Cyprus mulch (The mulch supplier is in FL.)

Troop's cost $1.83/bag Sell Price $3.25/bag.

You can decide how to split the $1.41/bag. We credit the selling scout
$0.75/bag. The Troop as a whole delivers the mulch. Another local Troop gave 100% to
the scouts to pay for a HA trip.

If you are interested, let me know.

Hope this helps.
