Luminaria 2009
Luminary
in
a Nutshell:
- This
service
project is our only fund raiser
for the year. The
proceeds pay for all of our
activites throughtout the year
(campsite
rentals, Vertical
Edge, Courts of Honor,
etc).
Because we
have only one fundraiser, we
expect all Scouts and parents to
participate in all phases of the
project.
- There
is
not a minimun number of hours
that Scouts and parents are
asked to
participate. We ask that
you contribute all the time that
you
can
until all of the work is done,
which could be from 5 hours to
10 hours.
This is a team effort and
we need the dedicated effort of
every
team member to make this project
run smoothly and quickly.
- We
do
track the hours that the Scout
and his family contribute toward
this
project. Each year we set
a minimum number of hours a
Scout
must
work in order to earn a discount
on summer camp fees.
6
hours was the bar last year, but
that bar could change this year.
It is based on the amount
of work and the time it takes to
get
it done.
- Be
sure
to sign in (Scout and family
members) on both the assembly
day and
the delivery day so that your
hours of participation can be
tracked.
- Dress
in
Class B shirts if possible.
It can be chilly outside
and
in
the building during assembly, so
dress in layers. Once you
get
the rhythm of the assembly line,
you'll warm up!
- Have
fun!
If this is your first time
participating, you will be
amazed
at how well your Scout works as
a team to get the job done
quickly and
efficiently. We will mix
experienced Scouts and parents
with
new
Scouts and parents to teach
you the system of
assembling a
luminary kit. You will be
surprised at how easy it is to
pick
up
and how much fun it actually is.
- There
will
be teams assembled for the
delivery day. Parents will
drive
vehicles to bring Scouts on
a set route so they can deliver
luminaries to homes in our
designated
neighborhood.
