Lemonade Day - May 2, 2010

The Crossroads of America Council is proud to be a partner with Indianapolis Lemonade Day.  Lemonade Day is a free city wide initiative designed to teach kids how to start, own and operate their own business – a lemonade stand.  While this is Indianapolis Lemonade Day, Scouts from outside the Indy metropolitan area can also participate.

Individual Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts can participate along with a caring adult.  Dens can use Lemonade Day as a den project.  Boy Scouts can fulfill some of the requirements for Entrepreneurship and other Merit Badges  by participating.

Lemonade Day kits can be picked up at the new Education and Program Center, 7125 Fall Creek Road, North beginning March 22^nd (while they last).  When you pick up the kits you will be asked to fill out a registration form, so be sure to know who the adult partner will be in order to properly complete the registration form.
