Grocery Cards

Troop 400 offers grocery cards from King Soopers and Safeway as a fundraising tool. Buy a card for $50 or $100 and use it to buy the groceries you would normally buy for the same $50 or $100. But 2% goes directly to Troop 400 and 2% goes directly to your scout's account for camp. It's a real win / win! The cards are available at Troop meetings for purchase. See Amy Murray (grocerycards@troop400.org) for details.

Troop 400 meets every Monday evening from 7:00 PM to ~ 8:00 PM from September through mid June at Conifer Community Church in Conifer, CO.
