Wreath Money Due

Posted on Nov 26 2023 - 7:18pm

Troop

Message:

Reminder to turn in your wreath money as quickly as possible so that we can pay the wreath vendor. Instructions are below:

Wreaths are selling for $37 which means that any scout that is selling the minimum 20 wreaths now owes the troop $740. Similar to last year, we will only accept Venmo (preferred) and paper checks for payment. No cash will be accepted. Your customers may pay you cash and then we ask the funds be sent via Venmo to the troop.

Venmo Instructions

Venmo payments are not accepted directly from your wreath customers! We are not able to track Venmo in this manner. If your customer would like to pay by Venmo, they will need to pay Venmo to you directly and then you will need to aggregate it to make one single Venmo Payment to the troop.
Only one Venmo payment per scout is allowed. To save the volunteers time tracking, we ask that you only send the Venmo when you are finished collecting money.
Please send the Venmo to: @Troop42SanMateo
The notes in the Venmo must provide the name of the scout followed by "Wreath Payment".For example "Brandon Lin - Wreath Payment"

Paper Check Instructions

If you take payment by paper check, your two choices are:

Have the wreath customer write a check directly to you and in turn you can Venmo the total amount to the troop (preferred)
Have the wreath customer write a check directly to "BSA Troop 42" and you will need to be present at one of the following times to turn in your checks (please only turn in checks once you have collected all of them...in other words, one time per scout):

November 28 - Troop Meeting (David Lim will collect between 8 and 9:15pm during the Troop meeting.
December 5 - Patrol Meeting (Andrew Way will collect between 7:30 and 8:30pm during the Patrol meeting)
December 12 - Troop Meeting (Ed Stubbins will collect between 7:30 and 9pm during the troop meeting)

Note the deadline for turning in wreath money is Tuesday, December 19th. After December 12th, we are only accepting Venmo payments. Scouts turning in wreath money after the December 19th will not be eligible for prizes.
