POPCORN

Thank you to all Foothills District Scouts and Scouters who sold popcorn in 2011!
We experienced a 17% increase in our sales over last year!  That is amazing!

What's next in popcorn? 

Clemson/Carolina Day is currently set for February 25.  Be on the look out for invitations in January. 

$1,000 t-shirts should be ready by February 25

Details on Hockey Tickets coming soon

Want to continue earning money for your Unit?  Sell popcorn online.  Every time we get a commission deposited to us from Trail's End, we will look to see who has been selling online and will mail you a check for your part of the commission


Family Friend's of Scouting

This year, Foothills District is committed to raising funds to support the Scouts.  To do this, we need your help.  Because we know all our Scouts and their parents believe in the job we are doing, we will give them the opportunity to help us financially.  Our district will have a family campaign to help us raise the necessary funds.  All we ask is that you give us five to ten minutes at your Blue and Gold banquet, Pack meeting or Court of Honor to present our story.  This helps us raise our money to support local Scouting effort. 

If you would like to work on our Friend's of Scouting Committee, please contact Nathaniel Harris


Recharters

Recharters were due at the December Round Table.  If you have not turned yours in, please do so as soon as you can.  If you have any questions, please contact Nathaniel Harris.


ROUND TABLE

Please send a representative from your unit to the Scout house at Taylor’s 1st Baptist Church on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 7:00 for Round Table.  

Round Table is a meeting where you hear about upcoming District and Council events, learn new things about Scouting, meet with old friends, and make new friends who all have a common goal of providing a great Scouting program to the boys in Foothills District.

Please Join Us!!!


District Awards Banquet

February Round Table will be held the first Thursday of the Month and will be the annual Foothills District Banquet.  Please bring your Scouting family to the Banquet to celebrate another year of Scouting, recognize notable leaders from the district and eat!

We will meet in the Family Life Building across the street from Taylor's First Baptist Church at 7:00PM on February 2nd.  Dinner will be Potluck, so bring out your famous recipe's or stop and get a bucket of chicken on the way there.  Just make sure you plan to join us for a fun evening of fellowship!
