Queensland Scouting Association #172 - Fundraising

A bottle drive is a very simple thing. it involves three steps. They are as follows...

- Show up at the bottle drive.
- Go out and collect bottles.
- Stick around and help wrap it up.

IT'S THAT SIMPLE!!!

Here are the details...

- PLAN TO BE AT THE BOTTLE DRIVE FROM 8:30AM TILL 12:00!
There are very few commitments for Scouting. Committing to a bottle drive for a few days a year is not a-lot. We would like everyone to pitch in from beginning to end. Many hands make light work as long as many hands are there. WE NEED YOU THERE!

- SHOW UP AT THE QUEENSLAND COMMUNITY CENTRE PARKING LOT AT APX 8:30.

- ASK WHERE THE SIGN IN SHEET IS.
Signing in will allow us to give you credit for being at a fundraising event.

- ASK FOR ONE OF THE QUEENSLAND / DEER RIDGE / DEER RUN / DIAMOND COVE MAPS.
There are detailed maps that show a section of an area with a specified number of houses marked on it. Each family should be able to do 1 - 3 maps.

- GO OUT TO THE AREA ON THE MAPS AND COLLECT BOTTLES.
Go door to door and politely inquire if the homeowner is able to donate bottle to our Scouting association Ex: "Hello, we are from the Queensland Scouting association. Do you have any cans or bottles to donate?" **** TIP**** Beavers are very helpful when collecting bottles!

- UNLOAD WHEN FULL
When your vehicle is full, mark on your map where you stopped and return to the Queensland Community Centre Parking lot to unload. Sorters will be ready to assist you with unloading if required.

- KEEP COLLECTING.
Even if your map has been completed... KEEP GOING!!! The more we collect, the more fund we have the ability to provide to the Queensland Scouting Program.

- STOP WHEN THE MAPS ARE DONE.
Keep going until the maps are ALL completed.

- ASSIST WITH BOTTLE DRIVE WRAP UP.
Assist with things like cleaning and putting the tables away, sort the last bottles brought in, etc...

- FINISH YOUR DAY KNOWING THE EFFORTS YOU'VE JUST MADE WENT TO ASSIST YOUR VERY OWN CHILDREN AND COMMUNITY.
