Your Support Makes it Happen
Your Support Makes it Happen
Community support is the financial engine that keeps Troop 36 running. We operate on the principle that Scouts should earn their own way, meaning our youth take direct responsibility for funding their program. The funds raised locally go straight toward maintaining our shared camping gear and keeping our outdoor adventures accessible for every family in Mashpee, allowing us to operate without charging local troop dues.
We rely entirely on community participation in our approved money-earning projects. When you recycle your returnables with us or purchase popcorn during our autumn sale, you provide our Scouts with practical lessons in financial responsibility while directly investing in their leadership development.

Recycle with us!
Our primary ongoing fundraiser is our bottle and can collection. It is a simple way to support the troop while keeping our community clean.
Where: The Mashpee Transfer Station (Look for the Troop 36 collection shed).
When: Year-round, whenever the Transfer Station is open.
What We Collect: Clean, returnable bottles and cans (MA 5¢ deposit).
How it Helps: 100% of the proceeds go toward equipment maintenance and campouts.
Next time you head to the dump, please bring your returnables to the Troop 36 shed!
2. Popcorn Sale (Fall)

The Classic Scouting Tradition.
Every autumn, you’ll see our Scouts at storefronts around Mashpee and selling door-to-door. This is our biggest push to fund the program year. Over 70% of the sale price stays with local Scouting.
Dates: September – October
How to Support: Look for us outside local businesses or ask a Scout for a link to their online store.
