It’s that time of year again to grab a fresh Christmas tree from the Ocean Grove Scout Group at their annual sale.
The group will sell Christmas trees during its annual Ocean Grove Park fundraiser from around 9am on December 2 and 9.
First and Second Ocean Grove Scout Group chairman Ken Harper said the sales provided Joey, Cub and Scout youth members with many fun, exciting and challenging activities.
“People can order online and get deliveries, or they can come to the park and select their tree and take it home,” he said.
“We raise funds selling Christmas trees, and we’ve been quite a large supplier of trees in the community for a number of years.
“It’s a fun day. We’ve got carols going in the background and the kids have Santa hats on them to help patrons select their trees.”
Mr Harper said preparations for the fundraiser were underway, with Christmas trees already ordered and promotional signs placed around Ocean Grove Park.
Christmas tree prices start at $70, and several options are available, with different-sized tree stands starting at $50.
The community can purchase their Christmas trees in-person during the sales or order online at oceangrovescouts.com/christmas-tree-order-page for pick up or delivery.
The Ocean Grove Scout Group also offers an after-Christmas pick-up service to recycle the trees. Register online for tree collections on January 7, 2024, for a $12.50 flat fee.
The group is always open to new families looking to try scouting, and people can visit oceangrovescouts.com to learn more.
