Popcorn Sale

 

The Council Annual Popcorn Sale begins November 1st.  This is a great opportunity for your Pack, Troop or Crew to plan and fund your Ideal Year of Scouting!  Make sure your unit has an exciting Popcorn Kick-off.  This is your opportunity to get your Scouts and parents motivated to sell because they know why and for what they are selling . . . an incredibly fun Scouting year!  The Council and District stand ready to support your sale in any way we can.  There are cool new incentives for the Scouts this year, like an immediate recognition Marshmallow Blaster for each Scout’s first full page of orders!  Don’t miss the Kick-off on October 1st for all the details.  Please call us if you have any concerns or questions and we will help any way we can.  Go for it!

 

 

It’s Rechartering Time!

 

Please join us at the November Roundtable to pick up your unit’s Recharter Packet.  This is a great time to update your unit’s membership information and make sure all your youth and leaders are registered and covered by the free accident and liability insurance.  At the December Roundtable, we invite you to turn in your completed recharter hard copy.  The District will have volunteers ready to help you complete your recharter.  Oh yeah, turn in your recharter at the December Roundtable and your unit will receive 100 RV Bucks for the big auction in January!
