After a long day that started before dawn, the sale raised more than $5,000. The money will help the Scouts cover expenses for their trip to the Kandersteg International Scout Centre in Kandersteg, Switzerland.

"This trip only comes around about every 10 years so the troop is extremely motivated to make this happen," Shosana Thoma-Isgur wrote in an email. Her son was one of the Scouts that organized the garage sale and put in the long hours to see it through until the end.
Thoma-Isgur says if anyone wants to help send Troop 17 to Switzerland, donations are accepted at @Troop17payments on Venmo.
