Friends of Scouting

Many of you have participated in Council events like family camps, day camps, webel-o-ree, marksmanship days, etc. just to name a few. These fun and educational programs would not have existed without your support. Accept the friend request and be a friend of Scouting.

You will hear more about it soon. Meanwhile, find out more about the Friends of Scouting campaign at the Council's website and this video.

Popcorn Drive Schedule

Our Show-and-Sell Popcorn Drive at Gale Ranch Safeway is coming up and the schedule is posted below. When selling popcorn, make sure the following:

If you are the first den for the day, den leaders, please arrive about 10-15 minutes early to help set up.
A Den leader, Assistant Den leader or designated leader must be present at the time of the shift.
Parents should not just drop off cubs and leave. They should supervise their child.
Cubs should be in full Class A uniforms
You will need to keep track of what was sold and which cub worked the shift. There will be a binder with a tally sheet that will help you keep track of this information. Each den will have their own section in the binder.
Customers can make cash donations, if they don't want to buy popcorn. There will be an envelope for this in the cash box.
Customers can make donations to the military. There will be an envelope for this in the cash box as well.
Last den of the day should help clean up. We shouldn't leave a mess.

Contact Popcorn Kernal Yuji if you have questions.

MDSC FOS Matching Gifts

Message from the Council ...

Make your FOS dollars go the extra mile……

We are wrapping up our annual Friends of Scouting Campaign and are at 58% ($509,649) of the goal ($871,000). We need your help to achieve the goal by June 30^th, so we can continue to deliver a quality character building program to the youth in our communities.

A BIG THANKS to all the families and businesses that have supported the Mt. Diablo Silverado Council in 2010. If you have not already done so or would like to make an additional gift, please visit our website or click this link to make a donation now or contact your District Executive.

Make your FOS donation stretch even further by checking with your company to see if they have a matching gifts program. Hundreds of companies in our area will “match” your contribution to the FOS campaign. Many will do a direct match of your contribution, others might contribute twice your donation and some will match your volunteer hours. Please visit our website for a list of some the “matching gift” companies or visit your Human Resources Department. If your company does match, please get the proper form from your employer, complete it, and turn it in to your District Executive or the Council Service Center.

Check the website often to watch the mercury rise in our FOS Thermometer.

Thanks for your support!

Cotton Candy Wrapup

Dear All,

Thanks for a very successful cotton candy booth at the San Ramon Art and Wind Festival.

Lines were long and business was great as we pulled in over $2000 to support Pack1776 for 2011.

Most thanks goes to the parents and cub scouts that attended during the 2 day event. I must say we definitely have future sales people in our cub scouts.

I would like to congratulate the following cub scouts who helped made this event a complete success.

Josh K, Jacob & Joshua L, Morgan J, Jared O, Emmett & Aidan L, Gurveer S, Ishaan K, Zoe & Ethan M, Evan Y, Brandon and Alexander B, Andre B, Abhilash P, Landon S, Mimi & Harrison E and my best buddy David O.

I also ESPECIALLY would like to thank those parents that volunteered for the pack. Being the organizer and never really doing this before I am so grateful for those that signed up.

A special thanks goes to Josh K who came early the first day and tirelessly was out front of the booth asking people to buy cotton candy. Keep up that sales attitude.

COTTON CANDY GET YOUR COTTON CANDY HERE.

Thanks to all.
