Fundraising

The holidays are full of joy and celebration, but they also come with cleanup duty. Never fear! Troop 150/5150 is here to make it easy and painless for you recycle your Christmas tree in an eco-friendly way while supporting our scouts!

Simply fill out our pickup order form here and we’ll come pick up your tree from your curb on Saturday, January 10th, 2026. Or, you can use the same form to pre-pay your donation and then drop off your tree at our collection site at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church (3228 SW Sunset Blvd, Portland, OR 97239) between 9am and 4pm any weekend day from January 3rd through the 18th.

Thanks for your support of Troop 150/5150!

The calendar year ended with our important fundraising tradition: collecting christmas trees for recycling. In early December scouts hung fliers on doors in communites around the SW Portland metro area. Families could sign up to have scouts come pick up their trees after the holiday season concluded, or they could drop them off for us to haul away. The troop, in turn, asks for donations to fund annual expenses and our big summer camp each year.

We were successful once again in raising significant funds this year. Scouts worked through cold and wet conditions to hang fliers, gather trees, and haul them off. Scouts earned “shares” of the funds raised based on how many fliers they hung and how many shifts they worked during collection. Congrats to all the scouts in their efforts, and thank you to our community for your donations!
