Popcorn! - Scouts still needed for storefront sales!
Our Popcorn fundraiser is off to a great start! Please contact one of our popcorn Kernels, Lauren Johnson or Jonathan Dackow, if you still need information on how to get started! We Still have many unfilled storefront sale shifts if your scout is in need of some extra sales. We are well on our way to meeting our pack goal, and be sure to remind your scouts what they can personally earn by participating.
RECHARTER
Most of you should have received an email notice about re-charter fees due to National and Council. Those of you who may have joined at a later point in the school year will be receiving your notice around the same time of the year.
The annual portion of $170 is now paid directly through my.scouting.org for your youth based on their registration dates.
Beginning 60 days before their expiration date, all currently registered Leaders and parents of registered Scouts will receive communication from the National Council that will prompt them to renew their registration. To renew this way, simply:
Click on the link in the email, which will take you to my.Scouting.org to renew their registration. Navigate to My Application, on the home screen or click the red notification button in the top right-hand corner.
Follow the steps to renew and pay your annual registration in just a few clicks.
Important Reminders
Parents will have to have or create a My.Scouting.org account to complete this process.
For parents with multiple Scouts, they will only need to create one account as my.Scouting.org has already linked their Member ID with all of their children registered in Scouts. If parents discover this has not happened or have other issues, please contact Three Fires Council at 630-584-9250 or tfcregistrar@Scouting.org
Pack Dues are still paid to Pack 350. They will be collected starting at December pack night. More details on that amount to come in the near future.
Scout account funds can be used to pay either of these fees. You will need to submit a reimbursement request for the National/Council fees paid.
