Roundtable Wednesday December 5, 2007, Dec 2, 2007
This is just a reminder that we are having a joint roundtable for all Troops and Packs this week, Wednesday, December 5, 2007 at 7 pm at the Windham Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Our special guest will be Bryan Thomas, Assistance Scout Executive, who will be leading us all through a training for online recharter. This year we are encouraging all units to use the online recharter process to save time and speed out the recharter process. It is important that we have a representative from all the units in order to make sure recharter packets get distributed. We will also have some Holiday Cake and snacks. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email me at abessey@bsamail.org.
Thanks,
Tony Bessey
Pinewood Derby 2008, Dec 5, 2007
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the 2008 Casco Bay District Pinewood Derby is scheduled for April 5, 2008 at the Jordan Small School in Raymond. Attached you will find a copy of the 2008 Pinewood Derby rules. There were no changes from last year. It is important to note that these rules do not allow for several modifications (especially the three wheel modification) that are talked about in the most recent issue of Boy's Life. Please make sure that your Cubs are aware of this because cars that fail to meet these rules will be disqualified from the District Pinewood Derby in April. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact John Trott at trottj@roadrunner.com or 642-2373.

Chocolate Caramel Crunch (popcorn Stars), Dec 19, 2007
As many of you know the popcorn season is winding down. We have a unit that is in a bit of trouble because they accidently ordered 9 cases to many of Chocolate Carmel Crunch and they cannot sell them. I know that many of you have people that ask for more of the Chocolate Carmel Crunch after deliver. The cost per box is $96.00 which is 6 tins. If you know of anyone who might be looking to buy some more of this popcorn, please call and I will do everything in my power to have it available to your unit for pickup on Saturday at the Scout Shop.
Thanks,
Tony Bessey
