Cub Scout Packs: Fundraising with Custom Car Magnets

The Value of Scouting

Scouting plays a pivotal role in a young boy’s life. It offers unique experiences, teaching valuable life skills. From camping trips to community service projects, Cub Scouts exposes boys to diverse activities. These experiences shape them. They grow into responsible, proactive, and community-conscious men. These boys learn leadership, teamwork, and discipline.

The Need for Fundraising

But these character-building activities come at a cost. Cub Scout Packs rely heavily on parents to cover expenses. Uniforms, camping gear, and event fees add up quickly. Fundraising is essential. It eases the financial burden on parents. More importantly, it allows the Packs to offer enriching experiences to all.

The Common Fundraising Methods

There are traditional methods of fundraising. Bake sales, car washes, and ticketed events are common. But they sometimes fall short in reaching their financial goals. Cub Scout Packs need innovative solutions. They need effective and continuous methods.

Enter Custom Car Magnets

Cub Scout car magnets present a unique opportunity. They’re not just about raising funds. They’re dual-purpose tools. On one hand, they generate much-needed funds. On the other, they spread awareness about the Cub Scouts.

Awareness and Exposure Benefits

Imagine driving around town. You spot multiple cars sporting Cub Scout magnets. Instantly, the community becomes more aware of local Packs. It sparks conversations. It might even inspire new members to join. Every car magnet advertises the Pack. It’s a moving billboard. And it’s all for a worthy cause.

Why Car Magnets Excel

Car magnets offer several advantages over other fundraising tools. They’re affordable to produce. They’re easy to distribute. They have a broad appeal. Who wouldn’t want to support young boys becoming outstanding men? Every purchase supports this noble cause.

Continuity into Boy Scouts

Just as young athletes progress from Minor League Baseball to the Major Leagues, so do our scouts. When they matriculate to Boy Scouts, it doesn’t mean their scouting journey has ended. In fact, their commitment grows even more profound. The move from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts comes with a shift in objectives and activities. Boy Scouts take on more challenging adventures, demanding higher expenses. Much like how the Major League has distinct needs compared to the Minor League. Fundraising car magnets remain a valuable tool in this phase. They help bridge the financial gap. Boy Scout car magnets ensure that these dedicated young men continue to thrive in their scouting journey.

A Nod to the Girl Scouts

We’d be remiss if we overlooked the commendable efforts of the Girl Scouts. While Boy Scouts often take the limelight, Girl Scouts operate with equal diligence and purpose. They mold young girls into confident, responsible, and community-driven women. Their mission parallels that of the Boy Scouts, emphasizing leadership, values, and skills. Just like their counterparts, Girl Scout troops face financial challenges. They, too, rely heavily on fundraising. Supporting their endeavors is crucial. It ensures that every young girl has the opportunity to shine, grow, and contribute meaningfully to society. Girl Scout car magnets are just as important.

Conclusion

Fundraising is crucial for Cub Scout Packs. Custom car magnets provide an efficient way to raise funds. More than that, they promote the cause, sparking interest and conversation. Let’s support our future leaders. Embrace car magnets as the future of Cub Scout fundraising.

Scouting: Cultivating Leadership, Character, and Skills Through Fun Fundraising

Scouting is a global movement that aims to nurture the youth into becoming responsible, self-reliant, and resourceful individuals. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Cub Scouts provide children and teenagers with opportunities to learn valuable life skills, develop character, and take part in leadership activities. Not only do they gain the necessary tools for personal growth, but they also foster camaraderie and learn the importance of teamwork. An essential aspect of scouting is fundraising, which supports the various programs, activities, and initiatives that the organization undertakes. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of scouting and how fundraising car magnets from ARC Marketing can help Scout Troops and Cub Scout Packs with their efforts.

The Benefits of Scouting

  1. Character Development

Scouting instills values such as trustworthiness, loyalty, courtesy, and kindness, which help mold an individual’s character. Through the Scout Oath and Law, scouts are reminded to be honest, do their best, and serve others. These values are ingrained in their daily lives, shaping them into responsible and ethical citizens.

  1. Leadership Skills

Scouting provides numerous opportunities for leadership development. Scouts hold various positions within their troop or pack, where they learn to lead and work with others. They plan and execute projects, events, and activities, helping them develop essential skills such as decision-making, communication, and problem-solving.

  1. Outdoor Skills and Environmental Awareness

Outdoor activities are a significant component of scouting, with camping, hiking, and other adventures being integral parts of the experience. Scouts learn valuable outdoor skills, such as navigation, wilderness survival, and first aid. Furthermore, they develop an appreciation for the environment and learn the importance of conservation and stewardship.

  1. Goal Setting and Personal Growth

Scouting encourages personal development through the advancement system, which sets clear goals for scouts to achieve. As scouts progress through the ranks, they are required to learn new skills and complete various tasks. This structured approach teaches scouts the importance of setting goals and working towards them, ultimately leading to personal growth and accomplishment.

  1. Social Skills and Teamwork

Scouting provides a supportive and inclusive environment where scouts learn to work together, form friendships, and create lasting bonds. They engage in team-building activities that teach them how to collaborate, communicate, and support one another effectively.

The Importance of Fundraising in Scouting

Fundraising is essential for scouting organizations, as it allows them to fund various programs, activities, and community service initiatives. It also teaches scouts valuable lessons about responsibility, hard work, and financial management. Fundraising efforts enable scouts to participate in exciting adventures, attend national or international events, and give back to their communities.

Setting Up Your Annual Fundraising Schedule

Setting Up Your Annual Fundraising Schedule

As you plan your year’s fundraising schedule, there’s a good chance you will need to raise money in multiple ways. Depending on your organization, you might run fundraising events and sell items during the year to get the funds you need for the organization. You might also take on sponsors and donors.

Whether you’re a sports team, a private organization, or a school, raising money isn’t easy. However, it can be much easier, if you spend time setting up your annual fundraiser schedule.

Start with the Basics

Before you set up your annual fundraising schedule, start with the basics. Figure out how you plan to raise money and what you can realistically expect from each fundraiser. It’s also a good idea to know how much you need to raise to support your organization throughout the year.

Get the basics down on paper before you start worrying about putting them into an annual schedule. It’s always smart to plan to raise more money than you need, too. This way, if something doesn’t go as planned, you will still have enough money to support your organization.

Prepare Your Ask or Sales Tools

If you plan to ask donors and sponsors for help, take the time to prepare a great ask. Whether it’s a letter or a phone call, make sure you have a solid way to ask them before you proceed.

The same goes if you’re planning to sell custom car magnets or another item as a fundraiser. You want to create a sales pitch/script and other sales tools to help those participating know how to ask someone to buy the magnets or the other item.

Start Your Planning

Once you have your fundraising ideas figured out and the sales tools or letter you need to make an ask, you can start your planning. This is where things can get a little tricky.

Some fundraisers will require people in your organization to be involved. If you’re running a fundraiser for your school and you want the students to be involved, make sure they will be in session during the fundraiser.

This also goes for sports teams. If they are not currently in season, it’s probably not the best time to run a fundraiser where those on the team need to be involved.

It’s also important to schedule certain fundraisers far in advance, such as gala events, golf outings, and any type of fundraiser when you’ll need to book a space for the event. Get these on the schedule first and fill in with the other fundraiser that doesn’t require scheduling with a venue.

Choose Fundraisers You Can Repeat

It’s not uncommon to see a golf outing become the 5th Annual Golf Outing for… or even a gala event to earn this type of title. These fundraisers work great every single year and can grow from one year to another.

Custom car magnet fundraiser also offers a good option for a yearly fundraiser. Since you can get a new magnet designed every year, you can keep those willing to support your organization excited. For example, if you’re raising money for a football team, you can have a new design for the team every year. Parents and other supporters will be excited about the new design.

Use this advice to make your annual fundraising schedule easier to plan and you’ll be in better shape for the upcoming year.

Custom Car Magnets for Scouting

Here’s another group that has put our car magnets to good use; the Scouting Organizations.

ARC Marketing designs and prints magnets for Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts. Car magnets make an ideal fundraiser for troops, packs and councils of any size.

It’s easy to raise money with car magnets.

  • Start with a compelling design (that’s our job!)
  • Print that design on the highest quality car magnet in America (that’s our job too!)
  • Sell your fundraising magnet to Supporters of Scouting everywhere (that’s your job!)

Who can you sell your new Scouting Car Magnets to? Well, let’s start with the low-hanging fruit: families of the kids in your Pack, Troop or Council. Every one of these families will buy and proudly display your new magnet on their car. Who else might want to buy a magnet supporting your scouting efforts? How about some of these groups:

  • Local Business Leaders and Merchants
  • Out of town relatives (Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, etc.)
  • Teachers and Staff at your kid’s school
  • And just about every other Red Blooded American!

 

Imagine hundreds of cars, driving around town with your magnet on the back. That magnet is going to put your Cub Scout Pack on the map. For the next several years, that quiet, unassuming car magnet will be screaming your Pack’s logo to hundreds, and thousands of cars.

Not interested in fundraising? Are you looking for a way to say “Thank You” to everyone that helped your Council this year? Many of the councils we work with use their magnets as FOS (Friends of Scouting) gifts. Using your magnet as your FOS gift this year will achieve more than one objective. Your magnet will also broadcast your logo to the world for several years!

Okay, the Girl Scouts have their cookies for fundraising, and no one questions that this is one of the most popular and successful fundraisers in America. It’s the cornerstone of their very financial existence. In fact, according to Fortune Magazine, the numbers are staggering. Fortune says “Overall, though, Girl Scout cookie sales declined, as the organization sold 194 million boxes (about $776 million in sales) this year, including both e-commerce and traditional, in-person sales. That’s getting close to a billion dollars’ worth of cookies. Maybe it’s time to stop blaming McDonald’s for the obesity epidemic in America.

But wait, the Cub Scouts offer their own fund raiser. It’s calorie free and creates a lot of brand awareness. A custom designed car magnet, designed specifically for your Cub Scout Pack makes a terrific fundraiser. Every Cub Scout Pack, big or small, can benefit from a custom car magnet program from ARC Marketing. Available in quantities as few as 50 magnets (try finding another company offering quantities this low), it’s easy to raise money and put your Cub Scout Pack on the map. Imagine seeing hundreds of cars driving around your town with your Cub Scout magnet on them.

We also make car magnets for Girl Scout Troops and Boy Scout Troops and Councils, but the Cub Scouts have really embraced custom car magnets as a fund raiser.

One advantage to using our car magnets as a fundraiser (compared to the Girl Scout Cookie program) is that you can conduct it at any time, and your Cub Scout Pack can do it on your own. By contrast, the Girl Scout Cookie program happens only once a year, and it must be coordinated with their National Program. Of course, we’re not saying that car magnets will make as much money as Girl Scout Cookies, but they should be an important part of your fundraising mix. Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts have no national fund raising item. Each Pack makes their own fundraising decisions. Many Packs, Troops and Councils participate in popcorn sales, but many packs search for different ways to raise funds.

It’s easy to get started on your Cub Scout fundraising magnets. The first step is to have us create a free design for your Pack (click here to see how). The second step is to have our art department fine tune the initial design (with your input). Once the design looks perfect to you, just decide on a quantity. Then we’ll print and ship your custom car magnets to you. The final step is to have your Cub Scouts sell them to neighbors, friends and local business leaders. Believe me, almost everyone will be willing to help by buying your magnet, and they will all be proud to put your magnet on their car and advertise your Pack to the world.

Pack 10 received its’ first charter in 1986. We serve our community by giving leadership and opportunities for boys between the ages of 6-11 to learn how to become better citizens, stewards of the environment, how to belong and contribute to their family, and what it means to be honest and loyal to his friends and to himself.
