hi, edwinchoo1231. nice of you to start thinking on how to raise funds for your scout society, my suggestion is how about collecting old newspapers from nearby neighbors, and maybe you could also ask few of your friends in the scout to help you collect also from their neighbors too. after maybe a week of collections, you can sell them to junk shops or if you wanted to have a better and higher sales, maybe you could consider selling them directly to the paper mills for recycling.

ya, i think of that before.but i still questioning the ability of other scout and the teamwork from other students from my school.i was thinking that if i organize a recycle competition and give out prize,maybe they will participate.do u think if i do that they will cooperate?

it would be better if you can make them into groups of 8-10 students.
Set a deadline like 1 week for submitting of the old newspaper, it would also be nice if your school have a place to let them stock-in, then at the end of the week, group that have the heaviest weight gets the prize, by the way I would suggest you buy prizes depend on how many students in the group, that way every member of the winning group gets a prize. you can buy things that are very useful for the prize. ex. tumblers, flashlights etc.

I was part of a club in school to raise money to build a school. What we did was we had a barbeque and sold a bunch of hot dogs, drinks, etc. I thik we raised about 1000 dollars that day. I believe it was a little more than that though..
You could also try having a car wash, or an event that people have to buy tickets to get into.

i think of this idea before.we need to ask permission from headmistress for the barbeque selling thing.but can we sell things without a special occasion?we also need to minus off the budget of the hotdog and other things for the selling right?

Hi edwin! I don't know if garage sales are okey in your country. If it is, and your scout friends will cooperate, you can put up one. Collect all the stuff that is of no use to you guys anymore especially old toys that other children will like.
