My son will be turning 18 this year and thus is "aging out" of scouts, so he isn't selling scout wreaths this year. But as luck would have it, the youth group at our church, Christ Lutheran Church on Capitol Hill is selling wreaths. We are now taking orders, and wreaths will be delivered in the Twin Cities area at the end of November. My kids and I will personally deliver your wreath, or you can make arrangements to pick it up at our house in St. Paul.
If you live outside of the Twin Cities area, then I encourage you to find a local scout or church group selling wreaths and buy from them. If you can't find such a group, there is an option to order online and have your wreath shipped. In my experience, the price (including free shipping) is quite competitive if you live in a major metropolitan area such as New York or San Francisco. However, in most areas, a local youth group will be able to give you a much more competitive price. But if you do want to order online and have your wreath shipped by FedEx, please let me know and I'll get you the details.
Our wreaths are from the same supplier that the scouts used in previous years, Evergreen Industries of Inver Grove Heights, MN, which is committed to sustainable environmental practices on the public, private, and Native American lands on which it harvests boughs. It is a major seasonal employer providing jobs to those who harvest the boughs and assemble the wreaths.
This fundraiser is designated to send our youth, including my kids, to the 2022 ELCA National Youth Gathering.
