Boy Scout Troop 1001

The Cottonwood Art Festival is the Troop's main fundraiser. The troop makes money three ways: tips from the artists, a payment from the city, and water sales. The more people helping, the more tips we make. Based on past years, we need about 500 adult hours for our Cottonwood activity to be successful, which equates to about 9 hours of adult help per scout. We need 100% participation to be successful!

Please consider the following opportunities to help:

Thursday April 30:

Need 8 adults from 5 to 9 pm to help to set up the troop tent and to assist local artists for booth set up.

Friday, May 1:

Need help setting up the artists. Need 20 adults from 10 am to 4 pm and 12 adults and 12 scouts from 4 pm to about 7 pm.

Saturday, May 2:

Festival hours are 10 am to 6 pm. Needed are 5 booth sitters and 4 beer garden attendants for each 2 hour shift starting at 10 am, 11 am for the beer garden.

The booth sitter role is an excellent opportunity to for those who enjoy shopping for art to mix a little shopping with fulfilling this important requirement. This role is responsible for watching an artist booth during breaks and various other artists’ tasks.

The beer garden role is one of the easiest roles at the show and that is to make sure no alcoholic beverages are taken out of the beer garden. We require 2 uniformed adults at each of the two exits.

Sunday May 3:

Festival hours are 10 am to 6 pm. Needed are 5 booth sitters and 4 beer garden attendants for each 2 hour shift starting at 10 am, 11 am for the beer garden.

Need everyone starting at 6 pm for artist tear down. This year the troop has several additional carts which will help us execute a quicker and hopefully more profitable tear down.
