The Pack will now have both doors for Show-n-Sell at Giant Eagle in Robinson on Sunday. This weekend’s Show-N-Sell only goes until 2pm because of the Pack Meeting from 3-6pm. Both sign-up sheets (for this show-n-sell and for the picnic) are on our Web page or click here to go to our sign-up sheets.

The October Pack Meeting is a Fall picnic. There will be a hay ride, pumpkins, food and awards ceremony. Here is what you need to know:

• Picnic will be on Sunday, October 20th (this Sunday) from 3-6pm at Boys Home Park.

• Class A uniform (Blue Shirt, neckercheif, slide and belt) are required.
• Please bring chairs for your family (not a lot of setting at this park).

On the sign-up sheet – All families should indicate the NUMBER attending, and what item they will bring – So we don’t end up with all desserts, we are asking that your side dish item type be as follows:

• Wolves & Tigers – bring main side dishes
• Bears, Webelos, & Arrow of Light – bring desserts
• Lions – bring snacks
• Water & Hot Dogs /Turkey Dogs will be provided by the PACK

Troop 2 will not be able to participate in Giant Eagle Show-n-Sell this weekend due to the Chili Cookoff. Therefore, BOTH doors are available for Cub Scout show-n-sells. We need AT LEAST 1 scout per hour at each door. Click here to go to the Sign-up sheets.

New sign-up sheets are posted for the next 2 Sundays. If you can find another place we can have a show-n-sell please let me know. I have removed the extra restrictions on the popcorn sign-up sheets. You can sign up for 2 hours per day. If you are signing up for the first hour of the sale, plan to pick up popcorn items from the Kernel’s house and setup.  If you are signing up for the last hour, plan to take down our setup and transport tems to the Kernel’s house.

IF you have worked for any show-n-sell shifts, YOU MUST BE REGISTERED on Trail’s End app in order for me to give your scout credit for time worked. Or, if you are selling by wagon sales or putting orders on popcorn sales forms, YOU NEED TO REGISTER your scout in order for me to apply credit to your scout. So, if you sold any popcorn, please make sure you registered your scout(s) on the Trail’s End app on your smartphone or tablet.

WAGON SALES: If you posted your wagon sales on the Trail’s End app, please contact me. I have your wagon deliveries ready for pickup. I can be reached via text at 412-780-9757 to arrange a date and time for pickup.

POPCORNS SALE ENDS on Oct 20th. Popcorn orders placed directly on the app will need to completed by this date. Popcorn paper order sheets are due on Oct 20th (during our October Pack Meeting/Fall Picnic). All money for orders are also due at the picnic. If you will NOT be at the picnic OR you need a few extra selling days, you will be able to turn in your order sheets/money at Starbucks in Bridgeville (by Aldi’s) on Wednesday 10/23 between 6:45pm-8:00pm. If your scout has earned a Prize Gift card by selling $350 or more, Trail’s End will be sending out the Amazon gift cards approximately 10 days after our payment is recieved for our order. All money should be in an envelope with the Scout’s name and amount due written on the front of the envelope. If you put the orders in the app under wagon sales you will still need to meet with me to drop off the money For popcorn monies due, if possible please write one check made out to Pack 843 for the amount due for popcorn orders.

There are a few spots available for Show-n-Sells this weekend. There is also a sign-up sheet for our Annual October picnic & hayride (also our October Pack Meeting). On the sign-up sheet you will see a list of side items we are asking families to bring to share.

Reminder:  This is the 1st Wednesday of the month which means this is the Den Meeting night (unless otherwise notified by your Den Leader).  By now, each Den should have an assigned room.  Please wait in the Lobby until your Den Leader has arrived.

POPCORN UPDATE: If you have sold any popcorn and posted it on the Trail’s End app wagon sale, I have been notified and will be bringing that popcorn to the Elementary School this evening (if I have it in stock).  This past weekend sales were pretty good so my supplies are low until Friday.

This SATURDAY we will be at 2 locations:  Safran’s in Sewickley and now we have LOWES in Robinson.  We need all the spots filled.  And don’t forget, we also have Giant Eagle on Sunday.  Please sign up today.  Even if you have worked previous sales, signups are now open to all scouts.

This is our first time at Safran’s. This is an upscale grocery store in Sewickley and we are hoping for great sales and donations. We can’t do that without all the shifts filled.

Each scout will earn an hourly rate for each shift worked. The hourly rate is calculated by totaling the sales for ALL the show-n-sells and dividing it by the total number of hours works. The current hourly rate is $64 per hour. At this time, we only have location(s) for this Saturday and next Saturday and limited availability on Sunday. We are still looking for more show-n-sell locations in October so if you want to work a show-n-sell, sign up for the next 2 weekends or help us find more locations.

This event is on Saturday, September 28 from 10am – 4pm, at the Pittsburgh Zoo,,,please click here to register. If you joined our Pack in August or September this year, your scout’s registration is FREE.

Scouts MUST be in uniform.  Scouts work in 1-hour blocks, 2 scouts per block.  If your scout has not worked a prior sale, you may sign up at any time.

If you have worked hours from prior show-n-sells this year, please wait until Thursday prior to the sale weekend to sign up for hours.  We have over 100 scouts and this will allow others a chance to sign up.  You are allowed a maximum signup of 2 blocks per scout per weekend until Friday prior to event.

On Friday, prior to event weekend, you may sign up for more hours.  However, remember the kids have to stand and sell for the hours they signed up for and more than 2 hours at a time my be difficult for most kids. If you are unable to work the time slot you signed up for, you must notify the popcorn kernel.  

If you are signing up for the first hour of the sale, plan to pickup popcorn, table and money box from Popcorn Kernel’s house and setup.  If you are signing up for the last hour, plan to take down our setup and return all unsold popcorn, table and money box to Popcorn Kernel’s house.

We have a popcorn signup sheet with available shifts for this Sunday. Each shift is 1 hour long. You are allowed to sign up for 2 shifts per scout per day. However, if shifts are still available on Friday morning, please feel free to sign up for more shifts. We need at least 1 scout per shift but would prefer 2 scouts per shift. Link to sign-up sheet. If you are opening or closing for any show-n-sell, you will be responsible for setting up or closing the show-n-sell. Opening means you will need to pick up the popcorn, table and money box at my house. Closing means you will be responsible to returning money, table and all remaining popcorn to my house.
