Cora Ann Blytas and Mary Vitek met with Robin Rabbit to get her ideas on raising money for Camp Robinwood.

Robin’s revelations

  • Sell 300 extra boxes of cookies, which equals a $150 troop bonus, enough to get a patch for each troop member!
  • Plan now and pay later! Pledge your goal on the troop incentive form, hold your money-earning activity and turn in your money when you are done (before September 30, 2006, though!).
  • Hold your money-earning activity April through July or in December!
  • Challenge your sister troop to see just how much you can raise for Camp Robinwood. Rabbits love to run, so why not give them a run for the money?

Bunny bits:

It’s history in the making and Robin wants to keep a record of her travels and activities during these next two years. You can help us make a Robin Rabbit Scrapbook that you will want to be included in, if for nothing else, posterity’s sake. Here is what you need to do – when you see Robin at camp or she comes for a visit to your troop or service unit meeting…pose with her and then send us your original 12 x 12 scrapbook page. Don’t forget to identify everyone who is pictured with Robin and please be sure that your page includes acid free materials that will stand the test of time. Also make sure you include some journaling to tell us what happened during your visit. Happy scrapping.
