Troop 466 Christmas Tree Sales

This year, as with previous years, we will conduct a Christmas Tree Sale.  However, due to COVID, things will be a bit different.

Here is what you need to know:

• We will have a much smaller number of trees available than normal.
  

• Due to the smaller number of trees available, you can Pre-Order to reserve a tree.  The order form is available below.  Please read all of the information carefully on the form before ordering.  All Pre-Order Forms must be in by Dec. 1st.  No Exceptions
  

• We will only have 6' to 7' Frasier Fir trees for sale.  They will be available at one set price. 
  

• Douglas Fir trees will not be available due to a drought and an early frost, which killed many.
  

• Trees will be displayed on racks but will not be unwrapped.
  

• We will not trim trees this year.

• We will assist you with loading the tree on your vehicle, if needed.
  

• We will not tie trees to vehicles, but will provide twine, if needed.
  

• Social distancing and masks will be required. 
  

• We will only be open on the weekends, from 9am to 5pm.  No weekday sales.
  

• Once the trees are all sold, the sale will end.
  

 

Tree pick-up will begin on Saturday, December 5th and Sunday, December 6th, as well as, Dec. 12th and Dec. 13th.   

 

Note: We cannot guarantee that there will be trees available for walk-in sales.  However, please watch this website for further announcements. 

 

We thank you for all of your support over the years and thank you in advance, for your understanding during this time.

Bridging Ceremony - Oct. 2020 (Part One)

 Due to COVID, it has been a long time since we met in person.   

 

A number of camping trips, hikes and even summer camp was cancelled.

 

However, after some discussion, we had a Bridging Ceremony with Pack 23 and Pack 466.  A total of eight (8) Webloes bridged.   We will put out a series of photos from this event.

 

Nothing says a Troop 466 event like Little Debbie Cakes!

Christmas Tree Sale 2019 - Final Day

Here are some photos from the second to last shift -- Saturday morning, Dec. 21st.

This year, during the last day, we made a concerted effort to remove most of the debris, netting, etc. from the parking lot.  At the end of the last shift, the only thing that was left standing was the shed and the remaining two or three trees.

Another season over.
