Trail’s End Popcorn

Thank you to all the packs, troops and crews who participated in the first popcorn sale. This is the best fundraiser for our scouts to earn money to fund next year’s summer camp. In addition because the boys can sell Trail’s End in their scouting uniforms, it makes Scouting visible in our neighborhoods and that can have a positive effect on recruiting new Scouts. There is still time to take advantage of the second sale. This will not only place additional funds in the Scouts’ accounts but will also increase the above and beyond incentives for the units. Don’t wait, contact our District Popcorn Chair, Margaret Meck at 610-777-7155.

Life to Eagle

Monthly Life to Eagle packet reviews are going to be held the second Thursday of each month at 7:30 PM at the District Roundtable held at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Sinking Spring. These conferences are for Scouts who recently made Life Rank and are preparing to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. The packet will be reviewed with the Scout and his parent at this conference.

Reviews at other times may be arranged by special appointment.

For further questions or for special scheduling, please contact Leon Grim at 610-373-1208.

Register Those New Cub Scouts and Leaders

The BSA insurance program does not cover youth and adults until they are properly registered. Adult applications require two signatures, the unit chairman and the chartered organization representative or institutional head. Registrations cannot be processed without them. Applications received without proper signatures will be returned to the appropriate unit leader.

Membership – It is Always Time to Sell the Adventure

This year’s school recruitment went well throughout most of the district. The unit leaders and commissioners deserve a big thank you for doing a great job. The recruitment effort does not stop with School Night. Adults should talk to friends with children of scouting age. Talk about Scouting at church, social groups and work. Make your love of Scouting known. Encourage your Scouts to invite friends to join. There is a lot of competition for children’s time and if we don’t sell it year round a lot of boys will miss the chance to belong to one of the best youth organizations available. The truth is, it can take up to six invitations before a boy will join. Don’t give up the challenge, the results are worth it. Recruit that Boy Today!
