Scouters, have you heard the buzz? The Group Order Tool on ScoutShop.ca is transforming the way parents and Scouts gear up for adventures—and it’s about time you jump on board!
Let’s be real: handling money, collecting payments, and managing orders for your entire group or section can be a headache. But Isaac Khallad, the Commissioner of the 310th Cranston Group, found a solution that’s making his life so much easier. He’s raving about it: “I love that Group Order Tool. The best part is I’m not handling the money. All I do is receive the package and hand the gear out. One other great piece is my group doesn’t get hit with the credit card processing fees. Also, the order package with a receipt per individual order makes it super easy to split up.”
What’s All the Hype About?
The Group Order Tool is a feature on the website that allows each member of your group to place and pay for their own orders. The orders are then combined and shipped to one address—with ZERO shipping fees. Yes, you read that right—no more shipping fees! Plus, the person setting up the order isn’t stuck with the hassle of buying everything upfront or chasing down payments
Here’s the best news: you only need to hit a $500 minimum to use this tool. That’s just a handful of uniforms or a mix of gear, and you’re good to go! And since these are high-value orders, they’re all shipped with a signature required, so no worrying about lost packages
Are you part of a smaller group and worried about meeting the minimum? No problem! Simply share your order link with a nearby group and boom—you’re in. Need help connecting? Your Scouting Relationship Manager has your back.
Since its debut in August 2023, as of August 2024 this tool has already saved Scout groups close to $120,000 in shipping costs. Imagine what your group could do with those savings!
