October Email #1

 Hi Troop 136!

We had a fun, but wet campout this past weekend.  We have had two great weekends of camping.  Our next opportunity to go camping will be at the end of the month. The focus of this campout will be some training for basic Scouting skills.

New Scout Campout(10/29-10/31):

If you are a Scout and are interested in helping out, please let me know what you would like to do.

If you are an Scouter (adult leader) and are interested in helping out, please let me know you are interested in helping.

Permission Forms:

At our committee meeting tonight, there was some discussion about the timing of the sign up for the campouts.  Going forward, we will ask that permission slips be turned  a week and a half ahead of time.  So it would be two meetings before our campouts.

Popcorn:

Total sales for popcorn will be awarded at the December 14th meeting.  

Popcorn prizes:

$50 gift card - 1st Place in sales

$25 gift card - 2nd Place in sales

$10 gift card - 3rd Place in sales

Earn more Pie in the Face opportunities:

If you have sold six popcorn items between the beginning of the popcorn sales and next Tuesday, 10/12, you will have one more pie in the face for Mr. Freeman.

If you sell an additional six items of popcorn between 10/12 and 10/26, you will have one more pie in the face added for Mr. Freeman.

The goal for sales for every Scout is $300.  If you sell $300 in popcorn, you get one more pie opportunity.  This can be done by asking friends and neighbors.  We have some Scouts selling, but a lot of others are waiting.  Good luck selling and I hope that you are able to get some extra pies.

Pie in the Face:

1 pie for every rank earned during the year

1 pie for every Eagle Scout Merit Badge earned during the year

1 pie for every three merit badges earned during the year
