     When I was a Scout my troop had an annual clamcake and clamchowder
dinner.  The troop had a special deal with a local seafood company,
which gave us a bulk discount on the food (the company even made the
clam chowder).  The troop's adults cooked the food while the Scouts
waited tables, cleaned, and sold beverages.  Admission was by advance
ticket sales, which allowed the troop to have the money up front to buy
the food.  I don't remember how much of a profit was made but it seemed
to do very well.

P.S.  Before the dinner my troop tried rummage sales and selling
      lightbulbs; neither worked.
