Scout Christmas Tree Lot at St. Al’s: It’s Christmas tree time again for Scouts & Crew 100 & 8100 in Ballard. The Scouts will be selling Christmas trees for their annual fundraiser at St. Alphonsus’ parking lot until December 15.
Scouts & Crew have been selling Christmas trees in the Ballard area since 1956. Buying a tree at the tree lot is a tradition, with many families returning year after year. Proceeds from sales help send the Scouts to summer camp and cover camping trips and Scouts’ Night Out activities. The Scouts also donate trees to several local churches, and a portion of the tree lot proceeds go to the Ballard Food Bank.
