2024 Spring Fundraiser
Unit orders are due by Friday, April 5, 2024.
We’ve partnered with Scout’s Own & Stone Tower Coffee Roasters to bring you an exciting opportunity! We hope your unit will consider this spring fundraiser to help Scouts earn their way to a summer camp program or to help fund your unit’s upcoming adventures.
Scout’s Own is brought to us from the Lake Erie Council, BSA and the Beaumont Scout Reservation in Northern Ohio. 40% of sales stays with your local unit. 100% of the proceeds benefit Scouting.
Locally owned and operated, Stone Tower Coffee Roasters brings specialty coffee to the Mountaineer Area with locations in Fairmont, Morgantown, Bridgeport, & Buckhannon, WV.
Units earn $6 for every Scout’s Own product & $5 for every bag of coffee sold!

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I place my order?
Units (packs, troops, crews) can take orders on the printable order form starting February 1. An online order form (coming soon) must be submitted online by April 5th to receive the order.
Where can I sell these products?
Scout’s Own and Stone Tower products can be sold just like popcorn. Think of creative places to sell them.
- Door-to-Door
- Parent’s place of work
- School
- Church
- Sporting events
Please remember to always have parent and location permission before selling. It’s always nice to leave a thank you note as well!
When can I begin selling?
Products can be sold beginning Feb. 1st. The sale ends April 5th and all orders are due to the Council office by that date. Final payments are due to MAC by Friday, May 3rd.
What is my unit’s commission from sales?
Units will keep $6 (40%) for each Scout’s Own product sold, and $5 (27%) from each Stone Tower product sold.
My Scout wants to sell, but no one else in our unit does – what do I do?
The sale is ultimately a fundraiser for the unit. With your unit’s permission, you can print and distribute order forms as the contact person for the unit. Be sure to tell the rest of your unit about the sale and maybe some more Scouts will join the effort.
Do I have to pay for the products upfront?
No. Final payment for all products sold are due by Friday, May 3rd. Units will keep the commission earned when making their final payment.
If paying by check, who do I write it out to?
Please make checks payable to Mountaineer Area Council, BSA.
When can I expect to pick up the products?
Product pick-up is expected to be April 25-26th. If those dates change, your unit contact will be informed immediately.
