District Dinner

The Cherokee District Annual Recognition Dinner will be held on Saturday, January 23, 2010.  Please reserve this date on your calendar.  This event will be held at the Plainville Baptist Church.  This is the same location as last year and is a wonderful site for this activity.  We plan to have a lot of fun and recognize many of our wonderful volunteers in Cherokee District.


 Popcorn

Popcorn

The 2009 Popcorn campaign has some exciting new ideas this year.  Every Scout who fills up a take-order sheet can take that first filled sheet into the Council Service Center and receive a marshmallow blaster.  The boys can also earn some great prizes by selling popcorn.  Please mark in your calendar that October 24th is the Show & Deliver popcorn distribution, November 19th the Show & Deliver popcorn money is due, November 23rd the Take-Order popcorn orders are due, December 5th the Take-Order popcorn distribution is at the Pittsfield Farm Service Warehouse, and December 22nd, the Take-Order Popcorn money is due by 5:00 p.m.

Friends of Scouting

 The Council 2010 Friends of Scouting (FOS) Kick-off will be held on November 18th.  The 2010 goals for the Council and the Districts will be set.  Each unit and volunteer is encouraged to support FOS during the campaign.  Please remember it is important for each unit to schedule a Friends of Scouting presentation in 2010.


Greetings from

Charles Call,

your District Executive

 

I believe this fall we are going to see great things happen.  I thank all the wonderful volunteers who are making this possible.  We are having an excellent School Night recruiting campaign for Cub Scouts and we are looking forward to an extraordinary Popcorn Campaign.  Thanks again for a job well done.
