For refunds send an email to npturner8@gmail.com to request a refund. If you don't request a refund by this next Wednesday May 8th we will assume you are attending the make up weekend and purchase food. There is no need to re-register, but it would be helpful to get an email which lets us know that you are planning on attending the rescheduled weekend.
If you registered and paid for multiple people, please let us know who you are requesting a refund for and who is still attending. All refunds will go to the person who paid for the group.
We will be holding the ordeal conclave but will not be able to host the Brotherhood ceremony at the make-up weekend. We are sorry about this, for more information on possible options please email Kay Stewart at shadow14805@frontiernet.net
We will be purchasing the food on Wednesday evening, so if others would like to join us to help get the camp ready, they can go to the following link to register by Wednesday May 8th

| Cub Scout Training Day Cancelled for SaturdayPosted on Thursday, February 28, 2013 Hey there district members--
We have decided to cancel the Saturday Cub Scout Leader training day due to lack of interest. As of this afternoon, there were no people registered from any district.
We will still be doing Cub Scout Leader training at the April roundtable, so if you need training or have changed positions in the pack, you can still get your training there!

Camp Cards are wallet sized discount cards that Scouts sell for $5 each. They feature discounts at businesses and services folks use every day. Discounts include Papa Murphy’s Pizza, Holiday Gas Stations, Valvoline oil Changes, valued at over $50! The sale runs inMarch and April, just in time for Camp!

o Easy to transport, easy to carry cards
o Long (two full months) sales window

Units get 50% commission on the sale ($2.50 per card) to support your Scouting program. We call them Camp Cards because “Den Meeting Supplies, Pinewood Derby Track, Troop Trailer, Merit Badge Books, New Uniforms, Camping Gear & High Adventure Cards” is too hard to say.
We want YOUR UNIT to sell Camp Cards this year. It’s risk free! You can return any unsold cards.
To keep the sale risk free for you, we ask that you limit your initial order to 10 cards per selling scout. We will rush you more cards as soon as you need them! Sign up, get info and place your initial order here: www.northernstarbsa.org/campcards or call Greg Ball at 651-254-9154 |
