Ordering for our Annual Mulch Sale
is now CLOSED.
If you still want mulch, there may be a limited number of bags available for delivery or pickup on Saturday at each of the distribution sites. Availability is not guaranteed and will be on a first-come first-served basis. Extra bags will go fast, so you will need to be at your local distribution site by 8:00am Saturday to place your order for same-day delivery.
You can drop off mulch order forms until this Friday at 3pm in the mailbox at Bethel Baptist Church and we will do our best to fulfill your order.
The distribution sites are as follows:
We DO NOT spread mulch on the day of delivery. Let me repeat this -- We DO NOT spread mulch on the day of delivery. If you requested the mulch spreading service, you will be contacted over the course of the next week to schedule this activity.
Mulch delivery is this Saturday from 7am-7pm. We CANNOT, DO NOT and WILL NOT guarantee specific delivery times -- only that it will be delivered on Saturday. Please be patient. We will get to you.
On Saturday, March 25, we will be delivering an incredible amount of mulch (as many as 40,000 bags) from dawn till dusk.
We DO NOT spread mulch on the day of delivery. If you have requested the mulch spreading service with your order, you will be contacted during the following week to schedule it.
If you did not request it with your order and would like this service added to your order, please send an email to webmaster@bsatroop800.net and we will contact you to schedule it. Please note, there is an additional charge for this service which goes directly to a special fund for the Scout(s) who do the work for you. The money will be used only for Scouting related expenses such as camping/hiking equipment, Summer Camp or High Adventure Trips. Please support these scouts as they work to earn their way for these special activities.
Kroger's Community Rewards Program will donate a percentage of your in-store purchases to the charitable organization of your choice -- hopefully BSA Troop 800. All you have to do to make this happen is link your Kroger Plus Shopper's Card to the Troop's account. This costs you nothing. Your spending is 100% confidential and this program DOES NOT affect your earnings toward fuel program discounts.

There have been a lot of questions circulating about how Troop 800 intends to safely resume regular Troop meetings and camping activities. A lot of thought and research has gone into the following plan, which has been shared with The Heart of Virginia Council, who intend to use it as the framework for their own plan. Please read it thoroughly, because it contains many very important changes and new requirements in many areas.
Now that we have entered Phase II of Virginia's reopening plan, it is time for us to get our scouts involved again and back on track.
