Pack events this week

This Wednesday is the first Wednesday of the month. Den meetings will be held at the school unless otherwise notified by your Den Leader(s).

Thank you for the scouts that volunteered to help tomorrow evening at our Charter Organization’s Fund Raising Spaghetti Dinner. If you would like to help our Charter Organization with their fund raising event, please stop by and purchase a spaghetti dinner to eat at the Church or to take home and enjoy.

Spaghetti Dinner Volunteers Needed

Once again our Charter Organization, Resurrection Church in Oakdale, is asking for our Cub Scouts to help with their election day Spaghetti Dinner. The Spaghetti dinner is on Tuesday, November 5th from 4 – 7pm. Scouts will help serve salads, fill bread baskets and help with cleaning up paper plates and bowls. Here is a signup sheet. We are asking for 2 scouts for each hour. In the past, the scouts that volunteered had fun. This also counts for service hours. The address for Resurrection Lutheran Church is 7600 Steubenville Pike, Oakdale.

Thank you for supporting our Charter Organization!

POPCORN ORDERS DUE

I will be at Starbucks (at the Bridgeville exit) tonight from 6:45 – 8:00pm for popcorn orders. If you did not give me your popcorn order at the picnic and you have a popcorn order sheet and money that you need to turn in, or if you placed your orders on the trails-end app under wagon sale and collected cash/checks for these sales and need to turn in money, you will need to stop by Starbucks this evening to drop off money, popcorn sheet or both.

Popcorn Update

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.

Den Meeting Tonight and additional POPCORN show-n-sell location for this weekend

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.

Reminder – Sign up for Show-n-Sells. We still have many open slots for Safran’s grocery store in Sewickley.

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.
