Popcorn
| |
So far Conestoga District has sold over $80,000 of popcorn!
Our District Goal is $136,000 so lets keep the motivation going the last couple of weeks of Show & Sells and Take Orders.
Any product you know you will sell via Show & Sell (based on current sales tracking) or are 90% sure you will be able to use to fill Take Orders, please keep and use. Product you know you won't or likely won't sell (in full cases), needs to be returned to roundtable tonight or directly to the Council office before the end of this week.

If you have applications, please bring them to Roundtable or let BettyAnn know ASAP to get them submitted.

Den Chiefs
| 
Does your Pack have a Den Chief?
At least 1 for each den?
Does your Troop send Den Chiefs to help Packs?
Boy Scouts need leadership skills and Cub Scouts need youth leaders. We have 19 Packs in Conestoga and not even half have Den Chiefs, let's fix that!
