2010 Friends of Scouting

YOUR FRIENDS OF SCOUTING CONTRIBUTIONS MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Thanks to everyone whom had your unit scheduled for a FOS presentation!

We are planning 2010 Family Friends of Scouting Presentations right now! Please contact your District Executive to schedule your Pack, Troop, or Crew Family Friends of Scouting Presentation. These Presentations will be available between January and May of 2010. It is beneficial to our volunteers to schedule these presentations during a Cub Pack Blue & Gold, a Troop Court of Honor or Crew Family night.

FOS Trained Presenters will conduct the presentations in a timely fashion. Presentations take approximately 10 minutes. Presenters may need the assistance of a unit coordinator to collect pledge cards and follow up with families. Cost to conduct the Scouting program is $120 per Scout for our Tall Pine Council.

Please contact the Finance Department for more information at 810-235-8728.

The 2nd Annual "Good Turn For Goodwill Service Project!"

Sponsored by The State Bank
Through the month March, 2010

Earn your Goodwill Patch and help hundreds in your community.

The Goodwill Good Turn Donation Drive helps people with disabilities and other barriers to find independence and employment through Goodwill programs. The donations you collect are resold in Goodwill stores providing jobs and funds for other employment programs giving people the dignity of a paycheck and the satisfaction of a job well done. For years, Goodwill Industries and the Tall Pine Council of the Boy Scouts of America have been improving people’s lives through the Power of Work - one donation, one job, one life at a time!

Spring Round-up

The Blue Heron District will begin our Spring Round-up in April. All Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout Troop, and Venture Crews are welcome to participate in the Round-up. We recommend that your unit have at least 1 activity planned each month during the summer if your unit would like to participate in the Spring Round-up. If you are interested in participating in the Blue Heron Spring Round-up, please contact Ned Savage at 810-235-8714.

District Committee Meeting Location

The meetings will be held at the Seventh Day Adventist Church the first Thursday of each month. The church is located at 986 Turrill Rd. in Lapeer. The church is on the corner of M-24 and Turrill. The church is just north on I-69. We hope to make the drive to our meetings a little better with the new location. I would also like to thank First Elder Earl Zarger and Pastor Harry Rogers. They helped to make it possible for Blue Heron to use the church for our district committee meeting.

Refund and Transfer Policy

A written request with a brief explanation for the cancellation must be sent to the Tall Pine Council Service Center. The request should be received by the Service Center at least 3 weeks prior to the camp, activity, or event start date.

Refund requests received after the camp, activity, or event will be denied (extentuating circumstances may be the only exception). Transferring fees from one person to another is permissible before the event. The Tall Pine Council should be notified in writing of all transfers. This cancellation / refund policy was effective January 1, 1998, and supercedes any prior cancellation / refund policy of the Tall Pine Council, BSA.
