- When I was a Scout my troop had an annual clamcake and clamchowder
- dinner. The troop had a special deal with a local seafood company,
- which gave us a bulk discount on the food (the company even made the
- clam chowder). The troop's adults cooked the food while the Scouts
- waited tables, cleaned, and sold beverages. Admission was by advance
- ticket sales, which allowed the troop to have the money up front to buy
- the food. I don't remember how much of a profit was made but it seemed
- to do very well.

- P.S. Before the dinner my troop tried rummage sales and selling
- lightbulbs; neither worked.
