2. Popcorn Show-and-Sell Postponed
Due to circumstances beyond our control, with the restrictions from the State of California and County Health Departments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we must delay the start date of the Show & Sell portion of our annual popcorn sale.
Store front sales at Stater Bros. will not be permitted until a new date has been determined by the California Inland Empire Council with approval of our local County Health Departments. Take Order and Online sales remain the approved methods for our annual popcorn sale (How to Set Up A Scout's Online Sales Account ).
All Show & Sell orders that were placed have been canceled. If your unit requires an inventory of popcorn to fulfill Take Orders as you receive them please contact Brian Paquette at brian.paquette@scouting.org.
An inventory, throughout the entire sale, of popcorn will be available to fulfill Take Orders for units wanting to expedite the fulfillment of their orders. The fulfillment of Take Orders can be done when a Unit is ready to combine multiple orders from their Scouts. This can be done on a weekly basis each week of the sale. An appointment will be required when picking up popcorn at the Council Office.
Any questions or concerns regarding the changes being made please do not hesitate to ask.
I’ve set up two Popcorn Town-Hall meetings through Zoom to allow our Unit Kernels an opportunity to discuss these changes. This meeting is not mandatory but only if you are seeking additional clarification to the popcorn fundraiser.
Have you taken the Training Challenge yet? There's no better time to take advantage of the BSA's online training opportunities. You can find training for any position in the BSA. Simply go to My.Scouting.org, click on "My Training" and visit the Training Library to find all the available training for your position. Every youth deserves a trained leader!
5. Family Fun Fest
Don't forget about Family Fun Fest on August 8th! It's a virtual event for all families to experience the fun of Scouting. You don't even have to be a Scout to take part! It's a great opportunity to invite new families to get a taste of Scouting and join your unit.
COVID-19 has introduced a number of challenges for all of us. To help you and your family cope with some of the daily stresses and challenges created by this environment, the BSA asked national experts to give some input and answers to common issues you and your family may be faced with. Check out this video on how to deal with disappointment from cancelled events. You can find the full series by clicking the link above.
