Ocean Grove Scout Group’s annual Christmas tree sale is on again this year.
The tree sale is the group’s major fundraiser for the year, enabling it to provide Joey, Cub and Scout youth members with a variety of fun, exciting and challenging activities throughout the year.
Tress will be on sale on Saturday 30 November and Saturday 7 December at Ocean Grove Park.
This year they will also be selling trees from the Bunnings car park in Leopold on Saturday 30 November, Sunday 1 December, Saturday 7 December and Sunday 8 December.
Preparations are well underway, with Christmas trees already ordered and the Joey, Cub and Scout youth members getting ready to decorate the promotional signs for displaying around the Ocean Grove Park and surrounds.
It’s a fun time of year for all youth members, parent helpers, committee members and group.
Christmas tree prices start at $55 (up to 183cm) and then increase in price by $5 per 30cm.
There are several options for purchasing your tree:
Head to the Ocean Grove Park or Bunnings in Leopold, select your tree and take it home with you.
Personally select your tree at Ocean Grove Park and have it delivered (for a small fee) by one of the friendly Scout Group helpers.
Order your tree online at oceangrovescouts.com for either pick up or delivery on any of the sales days (check the delivery zone prices on the website).
Christmas tree stands in various sizes are also available for purchase with Cinco stands starting at $40.
Ocean Grove Scout Group also offers a pick-up service after Christmas to recycle your tree – simply register for the pick-up service (either at the park, Bunnings or online) and then leave your tree out for collection on Saturday 4 January. A flat fee of $10 covers pick up and recycling of your tree in all zones.
For those people coming to select their tree from the Ocean Grove Park, it is rumoured that Santa Claus himself will be making a special appearance at 11.30 am on each of the days.
There will also be fun activities for the kids.
