“There are so many positive choices for families and children–scouting was certainly one of those for our family. Scouting teaches the value of service to family, the community and the world. What that has meant for me, personally, was the opportunity and privilege to lead, learn, and have a whole lot of fun with kids of all ages! Scouting without question is worth the time and monies invested.”
Kristine Vanden Heuvel, Parent & Leader
Family Partnership Dollars
All Family Partnership dollars stay in the Council to serve local girls. These contributions fund programs, the Scout Center/Camp
Del O' Claire/Camp Birch Trails properties, training and financial aid
for girls.
A $10.00 Family Partnership donation breaks down to about $.83 per month. That money will go to help your daughter build the
COURAGE, CONFIDENCE & CHARACTER
she needs to be successful in the future. When considering your donation, perhaps equate the full year’s donation of $10.00 to:
- Less than 3 gallons of gas
- 1 medium pizza delivered
- 2 matinee movie tickets
- ½ month of internet service
- A t-shirt
- 2 basic car washes
Consider how much farther those dollars can go when invested in your daughter, she’s worth it!

INK CARTIRDGE & CELL PHONE DONATIONS
This year we will are working with a new company, EcoPhones, offering ink cartridge and cell phone recycling to service units building Family Partnership dollars. Their website is www.ecophones.com. Service units can now begin collecting cartridges and cell phones. Shipping will be a bit different so check with your M&M. The current model lists of accepted cell phones and ink cartridges are below-please submit only these models.
KEY PROGRAM ELEMENTS
-
Customizable digital versions of all marketing templates are available online for FREE at www.EcoPhones.com under 'Resources'.
-
Cell Phones: EcoPhones is the only program that pays for EVERY cell phone (see Cell Phone Price List). You earn cash for every cell phone you collect including broken phones. Prices on the Cell Phone Purchase Price List reflect working phones only. Working phones are phones that power up, possess an undamaged LCD screen, make a test call and are not cracked or otherwise damaged. Non-working phone models that appear on the list will be credited 20% of the corresponding working phone price. Cell phone prices are subject to change.
-
Ink Jet Cartridges: EcoPhones pays up to $5 for each qualifying ink jet cartridge (see Ink Jet Purchase Price List). EcoPhones accepts ink jet cartridges only. We do not accept laser or toner cartridges. (TIP: If the cartridge is larger than the palm of your hand it is not an ink jet cartridge.) Ink jet cartridge prices are subject to change.
Cell Phone Batteries: These are the most toxic components of cell phones. Please send all the batteries you collect to us to be properly recycled. People often have additional batteries and these should be included with the phones.
-
Accessories other than Batteries: Dispose of cell phone accessories, (chargers, cases, earpieces, etc.) locally, they have no value and are bulky and heavy to transport. Shipping this material around the country only contributes to the pollution of our environment. Cell phone accessories do not contain toxic materials and can generally be disposed of with normal household waste.
