Santa, wreaths and poinsettia sales at the historic Scout cabin
Submitted by Katie Bidstrup
Together with Lafayette Juniors, Scout Troop 204 will be hosting a wreath and poinsettia sale at the historic Scout cabin (3502 School Street) located on the corner of Lafayette Elementary, at School and First Streets Dec. 4 and 5. This feel-good, family event will be outside, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days. Scouts will be on hand to provide masked tours of the cabin interior and to help Santa hand out treats.
As a boy-led Troop, 204 member activities are entirely self-funded through their efforts in the annual wreath sale. Profits from Poinsettia sales will go to support this year's 2021-22 Juniors beneficiaries: White Pony Express, Futures Explored and Lamorinda Village. While the Troop 204 wreath sale has been ongoing for 25 years, this will be the first time holding the event at the cabin, and in combination with Lafayette Juniors.
Wreaths are 22 inches in diameter and boast a hand-tied bow in traditional red, holiday green/red plaid or festive blue/red tartan. Poinsettia options are red or white and arrive in 6-inch, foil-wrapped pots. Wreaths are $30 each. Poinsettias are $25 each. Pre-sale is available at Troop204.com and LafayetteJuniors.com.
