Join “Fish Club”
Poptober is fast approaching and
there is no better way to help fund
your unit’s entire calendar of activities than selling popcorn! Remember that 70% of all money raised
stays local with your unit and the
council.
We sold over $750,000 last year as
a council and just think of how
much money your unit could make
if every boy made an effort to sell
at least $250! There are going to
be some great opportunities this
year and from the initial feedback
we’ve received it will be great!
The Popcorn Sale will start on Saturday, September 27 for everyone!
For more information about how
your unit can make money with
popcorn, please contact Travis
Rubelee at (336) 378-9166 or
[email protected]. Don’t
miss out on the opportunity to
join “Fish Club”!
Mom & Me 2014
Many thanks go out to all of those that made this year’s Mom & Me Campout a huge success. From
our Camp Ranger, making sure our facilities were in order, to the cook crew for those wonderfully
hearty meals…we cannot thank them enough. Our committee was lead by Jaime Swicegood and
after everything she went through, she’s agreed to come back next year, Huzzah! Our medic, Anthony Laskis, deserves some honorable mention…you never hear about the medic, unless you need
him and he was always available. Our range masters ensured safe shooting opportunities and should be commended as well.
We had some new-fangled cameramen wandering around camp; those photos should be up on the council website
in the near future. Check back frequently!
If you provided an email address, be on the lookout for a survey regarding this year’s event! We would appreciate
your feedback and as those of you who were here for the luggage debacle of 2013 can attest, we take them seriously! Thank you all for your attendance, we hope you had the opportunity to see what Scouting can do for your
young lords. If you have an interest in being involved in the planning and putting on of the Mom & Me 2015,
please do not hesitate to email me!
Mark your calendars! Mark your calendars….Mom & Me 2015, scheduled May 1, 2, 3, 2015, the working theme:
Things That Move, Places To Go!
Best wishes on a joyous summer and great start to your school and scout years!
