Troop 891 Chicken BBQ Fundraiser Procedure
1. Set date, 2 months in advance or more.
 | Make certain this date does not conflict with BAUMC BBQ.
| Call to ask permission to use parking lot.

free to Scouts.

| Schedule the Scout BBQ Coordinator or SPL to be present at all times
during set-up through take-down.

who want to work get an even amount of hours. Try to encourage older
Scouts help with set-up/cleanup/takedown as these shifts require extra
labor. | |
