Popcorn sales are NOT mandatory but do help defray your cost.
If you sell 1 item of popcorn – dues for 2016 will be $80. If you don’t sell any popcorn, your dues will be $100.
If you have $350 of popcorn sales – the amount due for dues for 2016 will be $0.
If you have sales totaling more than $350 – a percent of the sale value, over $350, will be credited to your son’s Cub Scout account. This money can be used to pay for resident camp, day camp and uniforms as the Flag Store.
Sign up on PACK843.org website if you are going to Shoot-O-Ree:
October 3rd (Shoot – O –Ree) – If your Scout sold $200 or more in popcorn, he is eligible to go to the Shoot-O-Ree this weekend. You will need to sign up your scout just like you do for popcorn show & sell (PACK843.org under Signups). If you signed your son up at the last den meeting, I put your son’s name on the list. However, please check to make sure your son’s name is on the Sign-up sheet. Your son must have $200 worth of popcorn sales AND sign up in order to go to this event at Camp Guyasuta. If you can shoot it, they will have it (BB Guns, Archery, sling shot, basketball and more). If you sell $600 of popcorn, you child will also get to try the climbing wall (There is a place on the sign-up sheet for letting me know if your child will be doing the climbing wall). The address for Camp Guyasuta is 300 23rd Street, Sharpsburg, PA 15215 (the website has directions www.campguyasuta.org). If you are going to the Shoot-O-Ree you MUST SIGN UP on our website by 9am Thursday (10/1).
FINAL SHOW & SELL INFORMATION:
I will be putting out the sign-up sheet for the final Show & Sell out Tuesday morning. Due to the large number of kids wanting to do Show & Sell but unable to find slots available, I am requesting that any family with over 5 hours of Show & Sells wait until Oct 10th to sign up for the final weekend of sales.
ALSO NOTE: THERE IS A FEW TIME SLOTS that opened up this weekend. I need a few scouts to fill these spots.
POPCORN DUE DATES AND DELIVERY:
October 7th (Den meeting) – I will be collecting Popcorn order forms and money. This is the LAST Den meeting before our cutoff date.
October 18th (2nd Pack meeting) – FINAL DATE TO TURN IN YOUR POPCORN ORDER. I you have not previously turned in your popcorn order form, you must do so at the picnic. If I do NOT have your order form at this time I cannot order your popcorn.
November 7th – PICK UP your popcorn. I will send out more information on Location and time. In the past we have used the Oakridge Fire Hall and pickup was from 11am – 1pm but that will depend on the volume of popcorn ordered.
