Our Sponsors

We try very hard as coaches to keep the cost of participation in our robotics team as low as possible. Girls from our team span the socioeconomic spectrum. This season 80% of our team members were free/reduced school lunch eligible.

We are seeking team sponsors to help both with our regular FTC season, and FTC tournament travel expenses. A typical FTC season’s expenses are about $8,000. most of which is the travel budget for us to attend qualifier, scrimmages and the Montana Championship.

In addition to direct financial donations, helpful “in-kind” donations would be:

Access to quality color print jobs and photocopies
Meals or Restaurant gift cards for the tournament trip. Favorites on the trip route are: Cracker Barrel, Taco Bell, Applebees, MacKenzie River Pizza, Olive Garden, Panera (for the IRS gift cards are the same as cash)
Team shirts
Website hosting

RoboScout Squad itself is not a 501c(3), just a group of amazing young ladies learning, growing, having fun, and inspiring younger girls to pursue STEM. Sponsorships are tax-deductible if donations are made directly to Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming, which will forward the funds to the team. Donations to GSMW should specify that the funds are for RoboScout Squad (Troop 3709) in Kalispell. Let us know if you’d like to go this route.

Our Amazing Team Sponsors!

Please help us thank them for their support and encouragement.

Innovation Inspirations

Thank you Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming for the startup funds for our team, ongoing support, and our practice location/storage space. RoboScout Squad was initially made possible in 2017 by a grant received by GSMW to start FIRST LEGO League teams in Montana and Wyoming.

For a second time, thank you for sponsoring the team and supporting this educational opportunity to travel, learn and grow. We will bring back what we learn and share it with other kids. We loved our experience last season with the DaVinci surgical robot. It’s inspiring to see real working robots in action. Additionally, THANK YOU, for providing us a new space for our robotics lab, giving us room to practice, develop skills, grow our team, inspire others and share what we do with the community is priceless to us.
