Prattville Boy Scouts Fruit Sale Supports Local Troop Activities

Prattville Boy Scout Troop 25 is conducting its annual fruit sale to raise funds that will support the troop's local scouting activities. Residents can place orders online at thefruitsale.com through Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025. Orders will be available for pickup on Saturday, Dec. 20 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Dollar Tree on Cobbs Ford Road in Prattville.

The troop will also staff sale stands on Saturday, Dec. 13 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 14 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at local locations including the Dollar Tree on Cobbs Ford and Chris' BBQ on Highway 82. The sale features a range of seasonal items including various citrus, apples, pears, pecans and poinsettias. Shoppers may purchase full cases or fractional cases to fit household needs.

The fundraiser serves as a direct revenue source for Troop 25, with proceeds supporting program costs, equipment needs and activities that serve local youth. For a troop with a long history in the community, the sale is both a practical fundraiser and a visible reminder of the organization’s local presence. Sales at neighborhood businesses increase convenience for residents and create opportunities for civic participation without requiring regular meeting attendance.

For families and supporters, the sale offers a way to contribute to scouting while obtaining holiday food items and seasonal plants. The pickup arrangement at the Dollar Tree on Cobbs Ford Road centralizes distribution and reduces logistical burdens on volunteers. Sale stands at the Dollar Tree location and at Chris' BBQ will give shoppers additional chances to buy items in person during the weekend before pickup.

Local leaders and civic organizations often rely on community supported fundraising to sustain activities for young people. By participating in the Troop 25 fruit sale, residents provide predictable funding that helps the troop plan activities and maintain its role in Autauga County. For those who prefer to order online, thefruitsale.com remains open through Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025.
