The coffee fundraiser is an easy, no risk way to fund your scouting programs for the year.  Most Americans drink coffee, every day, and generally are happy to support young people working to earn their way. Funds from the coffee sale can be used for whatever scouting expenses, summer camp, equipment, field trips, membership fees, etc.

Benefits of the coffee fundraiser:

• There is no upfront cost to the unit.
• Learning to earn one's way is an important life skill.
• Units only pay for the product they sell.
• There is an online selling option, and online subscription option for friends and family far away who may support your scouts.
• Coffee is easy to sell because 74% of Americans drink it every day.
• Scouts can earn a free summer camp experience at a Greater St. Louis Area Scouting facility.
• The coffee fundraiser also supports the local scouting programs in the region.
