A big welcome to all the new families joining the Pack this year!  Glad to have you with us.

Everyone, here's some additional information and a run down of what to expect in the near future regarding Popcorn:

Sept 17, 6:30pm - Pack Meeting at Glacier Edge School.
You'll learn all about the popcorn sale, which is our one huge fundraiser of the year.  Learn about the popcorn pick up procedures, how to obtain more popcorn to sell, and get some selling tips.  We've got some awesome new prize additions this year - drones, underwater cameras, telescopes, and remote control toy building kit, just to name a few.


In addition to door to door selling, scouts can sell popcorn through 'Show & Sell' which is selling at a booth.  Three locations this year - Millers Grocery, Copps (Maple Grove Drive), and Shopko (West side).  Those attending the Pack meeting, will have the first opportunity to sign up for Show & Sell.  You will get more information from your Den Leader, and you will have to provide your preferred selling times to your Den Leader, prior to the Pack meeting if at all possible to keep things moving along.

Sept 18:
After the Pack meeting, the Show & Sell will become available to those not at the Pack meeting, and empty slots can be acquired.  Watch for emails from Melissa Albright.

Sept 19 Pick Up popcorn at Specialized Electric (1041 Thousand Oaks Trail, Verona) Dens can pick up their popcorn at the following times..

8:00 am - Den 3
8:15 am - Den 2

If anyone would like to join in and help prepare popcorn orders for pick up, be there at 7:45 am, Scouts must be accompanied by an adult for preparing orders).  If you cannot make it to pick up day, please contact me.  Your popcorn will be given to your Den leader.

Hello Scouts and Parents!
Popcorn selling time is Here! For those of you that don't know, the only fundraiser the Cub Scouts have is the Great Popcorn Sale. Each Scout is given a specified amount of popcorn to sell and the proceeds help fund Pack activities. Additionally, Scouts can win prizes based on the amount of popcorn they sell. This is a big endeavor and is vitally important to the Pack. Please read the following information very carefully, and if you have questions you can email anyone on the popcorn committee or ask at the upcoming Pack meeting on September 17. Very important, please use the links at the bottom to print off order sheets (you will need these to sell popcorn). You can also print off donation receipts, order receipts and Scout business cards.

Scouts are to pick up their popcorn at Specialized Electric (1041 Thousand Oaks Trail, Verona, WI 53593) on Saturday morning, September 19. The schedule for pick up is as follows:
8:00am  Den 3
8:15am  Den 2

8:30am  Den 12
8:45am  Den 4
9:00am  Den 9
9:15am  Den 5
9:30am  Den 6
9:45am  New Tiger Den(s)
10:00am  Last call  (Scout orders not picked up will be sent to den leaders)
There will be information packets, order forms and envelopes and other selling helps distributed with the popcorn.

Again, in order to make everything go smoothly, please read the following information carefully and don't hesitate to ask questions.  Let's make this a great success and Have Fun!
