YES, there may be some snow.  But unless the National Guard shuts down the roads, we’ll be racing.

Den Meeting and Popcorn

Reminder — the first den meeting of the year will be this Wednesday, September 3rd at the South Fayette Elementary school.  Starting time is determined by your den.

Forms will be available at the front desk for Popcorn Sales.  This is your opportunity to earn money to pay for your Cub Scout dues, and to pay for activities for the rest of the year!  This year there are number of special incentives, too:

  • Sell $350 in popcorn to pay your dues IN FULL for the scout year
  • Sell $600 in popcorn and you can PIE THE CUBMASTER at the fall hayride!
  • The council has a NEW prize program this year.  Sell any item (just 1!) for a patch.  Other prizes start at just $60 in sales!
  • The Steelers have won 6 Super Bowls, so sell 6 Steeler Tins in a week for a chance to win an I-pad Mini. This promotion begins Monday, September 1 and runs through Friday, October 10, 2014 (6 weeks). During this promotion, the council will be giving away 6 I-pad minis.

Remember that ALL sales — including show-n-sell hours — count towards your personal totals.  Sign up for show-n-sell times at the den meeting, or on the new Sign-ups! page.
