This year, Pack 801 is partnering with Bricks of Hope to collect new and unopened lego sets to be donated to children during the holidays. If every scout collects at least one lego set we can bring happiness to over 30 children in the hospital!

Not only can scouts help by collecting lego sets they can also donate their time. Scouts can sign up for shifts to collect sets at Fox Mill's cookies with Santa event on December 3rd and collect sets at Bell Graham the week of December 4th.

We will collect final lego sets at our pack meeting on December 12th. For each shift and lego set your scout collects, their name will be entered into a drawing where they can win one of three $50 gift cards to Learning Express!!

Scouts can volunteer to work ANY NUMBER OF Lego collection shifts for an entry into the Learning Express gift card raffle.

Volunteers should wear their Class A uniform.

TWO parent supervisors are needed for each shift.
12/3 Fox Mill Community Center - an adult must accompany their scout.
Bell Graham collection days - 2 adult volunteers are needed for each day (A Leader can fill in if parent is unavailable, please still sign up your scout)

If you would like to sell popcorn at storefronts, we have another time to pick up popcorn. Sunday, Sept 10 3:00-5:00 at 3N777 Arbor Creek Rd.

There are also more Storefront days and time slots that have been added in Trails End, so check it out and snag a couple!

It's once again time for our Popcorn Fundraiser!

Popcorn for Show and Sells can be picked up on 9/3 and 9/5. You may sign up for more than one Show and Sell if you know that your scout will attend.

Download the Trails End App and set up an account for your scout (Three Fires Council, Ottawa Fox Valley District, Pack 801). We are trying something different this year (if you've done show and sells before) and we will be using the Storefront Reservation feature in the app. From the Dashboard, select the "Storefront" icon on the bottom. You can click on highlighted dates to see available Storefront shifts. For each one, click "View Shifts" and then "Sign Up" for the shift you would like. This way we are not clogging up the Pack calendar with Show and Sells. Then just remember instead of logging those sales as Wagon Sales, you will log them as Storefront Sales. Also check back periodically because some dates/locations will be added throughout the sale.

Currently, dates for Show and Sells are:

September 9, 15, 16, 23
October 7, 8, 15

Through the app you can send out emails to friends and family to sell online which will ship directly to your customers. This works great for out of town friends and family!

Use the order form or app to sell door to door. Cash, Check (made out to "Pack 801") or Credit Card (through the app) are accepted. Square credit card readers can be checked out from Stephanie Chabura. Orders will be delivered by mid-November.

Set a Goal! Check out prize levels on the order form.
Sell at least $600 to eliminate your Activity Fee
Sell at least $1100 and you will also be reimbursed for Recharter!
