I recieved an email today from the Boy Scout Council. At the beginning of the year, they announced a popcorn kick-off video and picture contest. We were to video or take pictures of our popcorn fundraising kick off meeting where we were supposed to try to motivate the boys to sell, sell, sell! We did a video of our first Pack meeting this year. We announced all the prizes the boys could earn. We also announced that any of the boys that filled an order sheet (25 customers) would get to throw a pie in our Cubmaster's face. And Nadine demonstrated it that night! So we video taped the whole thing, and sent a copy in to the council, and they emailed this today:

Did you see us??? We're Pack 964!! We just won $250!!!
I'll try to find some pictures from when the sale was over. We ended up with 8 or 9 boys that got to throw pies. We had to go to the den leaders and ask for more 'targets'. I think we ended up with 5 adult leaders from the pack who had pies thrown at them. Yes, Dippy was one of the boys who got to throw. He threw at one of the leaders that went to Goshen with him. That leader said he didn't want any Webelos, and I told him too bad, he tripped my kid on the hike!

So does this mean that we don't have to do anything with scouts anymore?
We won't be doing anything with the Cub Scouts (unless they ask us for help with something) but we will be doing things with the Boy Scouts.
Congratulations! Poor Dingy, really tired of Scouts, huh?
One of the couples that we were talking to after the dinner said about her now getting to go to BOY scout functions instead of Cub Scouts. Rod and I both said--OH NO! She can stay home! We're going to be with kids HER age and older now instead of her being older than all of the boys. She doesn't need any more encouragement in THAT area!
