Scouts may begin taking orders NOW for our fall fundraiser.
If you haven't received the packet either in the mail or at the pool
party, please contact Jill Carr (carr427@comcast.net)
or Susan Beck (shabeck8401@hotmail.com)
to pick one up. If you are interested in online or app sales, contact
Mike Carney (carneym@gmail.com).
Orders are due at den meetings the week of Oct. 17. Products will be available for pick up the
weekend of 11/12-11/13. Money does not
need to be collected at the time of order taking. It will be due at the 11/28 pack meeting.
The Virginia Nuts fundraiser is a new one for us, and is an exciting alternative to popcorn. There are nut products starting at $12, plus something for Penn State fans! Remember, selling not only benefits our council and pack, it also directly benefits your scout - they receive 25% of all sales in their scout account to be used for any cub scout expense (camps, events, etc.).

Mrs. Beck has set up numerous Show & Sell locations. This is a great way to sell. Just meet at the public location with your scout and prepare to sell to customers as they walk by. We do need parents to assist in the selling at these events. Scouts will receive a percentage of total Show & Sell sales based on the number of hours that they participate. Go to http://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090f44a8a62eabfa7-popcorn to sign up.
