Wrap Up:

Final sales numbers for 1st and 2nd prizes must be reported (myriam.herrera@scouting.org or x 209) by JUNE 1st to be in the running for the iPad or gaming system. Email, call or fax in your Scout’s name, how much they sold and what unit they are from by June 1, 2013 at 12 midnight to be considered for 1st or 2nd place. NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS DEADLINE WILL BE MADE.

On June 1st the council office will be open from 10am to 1pm to give you the opportunity to settle out on the weekend. Scout prizes will be delivered to the office only if you ordered them through the award zone system by May 13th.

If your Scouts want prizes, close out your campaign during the month of May and settle out qualifying sales with the council. If you want to continue selling beyond June 1st for the sake of raising funds you must contact Myriam to discuss your plans, but prizes will not continue beyond that point.
