Popcorn!

Hello Troop 710,


How popcorn sales are going? Hopefully you have had a chance to get out and start selling to friends and neighbors in you community. Remember you can be earning a 45% commission on your "Take Orders". If you choose to do show and sell with your own troop you will earn the commission rate of your troop, which can be anywhere between 30-37%. You decide which way is best for you.

Here are the important dates to remember:

Oct. 17th-turn in a copy of your take order sheet(s) to me at our Jamboree meeting. (If you are doing show & sell turn in your sheet(s) to your local troop popcorn kernel).

Nov.14th-Pick up popcorn at your district warehouse, places yet to be determined. There will be a copy of your sales sheets to help you pick your orders. Hopefully a volunteer from the Jamboree group will be at each location to help.

Nov. 29th-Turn in your money. You have 2 weeks to get your popcorn delivered. Please make a big effort to get it accomplished the first weekend. You may have to make phone calls ahead of time to schedule deliveries and collections of money. There are always a few customers that are hard to get a hold of to deliver.
I need a volunteer from Fremont, Rouring Rogue and Big Pines to help with popcorn distribution on Nov. 14th and collection of money on Nov. 29th. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. We have boys from 3 different districts. I need a volunteer to help at each distribution warehouse and to help collect money. Let me know if you are available for one or both dates.
I am currently working on setting up the boys accounts on line. In the next few days they will be able to get a password to use for relatives or friends who live out of you home area.
After the moneies have been turned into council they will apply the commission to your Jamboree account. If your family has already paid in full a check will be cut to you for any balance. Don't worry they will not keep the money.

Let me know if I can answer any further questions. SELL, SELL, SELL!

Sincerely, Denise Blocher ASM Troop 710

Birth of a Troop

We witnessed the formation of National Jamboree troop 710 today at Camp McLaughlin!

Our members come from as far East as Prineville (Arron T.), as far South as Alturus (Michael), West to Selma (Brian) and North to Sisters (Christian and Daniel).

There are 3 sets of brothers: Ross and Jr Assistant Scoutmaster Joe, Alexander and Charlie, and Christian and Daniel.

Scout ages range from almost 12 to 17. Ranks range from almost 1st class on up.

We announced the following:

SPL Jake F.

ASPL Jesse B.

Scribe Andrew R.

Quartermaster Arron T.

Scoutmaster Ted and I went through the troop boxes that were used 4 years ago, and they are in good shape.  That, together with the excellent tents that Scoutmaster Denise scored and things are really moving forward.

A copy of the clothing order form can be found HERE

I created a "National Jamboree Troop 710" group on facebook.  Post designs that you come up with, comments, questions, or the like there.
