| Troop Fund Raising |
|
| 2003 Yearbook Reference Material | Fund Raising Project Chairmen & History List |
From 1966 to 2001, Troop 116 sponsored a Scout Horse Show which originated as a community service and fund-raising project and grew to an event of major proportions. It provided substantial support to the outdoor program and other projects over the years.
Since 2001 the Troop has undertaken other fund raising projects such as publishing a Troop Yearbook dedicated to our Eagle Scouts and rent-a-patrol service projects. We also participate in the Council popcorn sale in the fall as a supplemental fund raising activity. With the help of good leadership and support from all troop member families, we expect new successes in supporting the Troop's outdoor program.
Proceeds from the first nine Horse Shows supplemented donations to the Frank Mayhew, Jr. Memorial Fund which made possible the dedication, in October 1972, of a Scout Hut built on the church grounds. This building served the troop for 30 years until a major church expansion project in 2002 required its removal. Proceeds from recent fund raising activities have assisted in finishing the interior and up-fitting of a new Scout Hut completed by the church in 2004.
Other Scout-related and community activities that we have supported are numerous. Proceeds have been used to supply other troops with needed equipment, sponsor summer programs for inner-city troops, send under-privileged Scouts on summer outings, and provide Scout Handbooks in Braille. Other beneficiaries have included Thompson Children's Home, several Scout camp development funds, the North Carolina Society for Autistic Children, the North Carolina Zoo, Mecklenburg County 4-H Clubs, and the Charlotte Rehabilitation Hospital.
Troop 116 has also contributed to the William Douglas Cofield Memorial Fund used to complete the Camp Grimes Chapel, St. John's Episcopal Church for beautification of grounds, the St. John's Endowment Fund for Education in memory of Robert M. Prokay, the Mecklenburg County Council James E. West Fellowship Award in memory of Reginald G. Hargrove, and the Dean Stroud Memorial Fund to assist with the purchase in 2004 of a new troop trailer.
We are grateful to the Troop Committee and the many Scout parents who helped make the fund raising efforts a success each year. Listed below are the chairmen of the troop fund raising projects since 1966.
