We’ve made changes to make selling wreaths and collecting payment easier. Half of each Scout’s sales goes directly into that Scout’s account. Selling 35 wreaths can earn more than $500 for your Scout.
How to Order Online
Orders are placed through our secure online wreath store . You can use a computer, tablet, or phone. Enter orders yourself, or ask customers to place their own orders. Be sure customers enter your name as the seller so your Scout receives credit.
How to Check Your Sales
Each Wednesday, the troop posts PDF and Excel sales reports on the troop website. The reports list orders by seller, so you can find your name and review your sales. If you notice a problem, contact the wreath team. You must be signed in to your Doubleknot account to view or download the reports.

How the Sale Supports Scouts
Scouts receive a 50% commission on wreath sales, credited to their Scout account. Those funds can help pay annual dues, monthly activity fees, special-event fees, and annual membership fees. For example, selling $900 in wreaths earns $450 for a Scout’s account. Selling 35 of our best-selling 12-inch-ring wreaths at $29 each can add more than $500 to the account.
Wreath customers may include family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and community organizations. Consider asking homeowners’ associations, businesses, churches, and public buildings. The sale is a way for customers to support your Scout and the activities made possible by Scouting. Some customers may prefer to make a cash donation; 100% of those donations go directly to the Scout’s account.
