Volunteers Needed At The Sporting Clays Tournament!

14th Annual Sporting Clays Tournament
Friday August 13, 2010
Hunters Creek Club
675 E Sutton Rd, Metamora, MI

We are looking for Scouts at least 13 years old that are interested in the shotgun shooting sports to volunteer to support this important fund raising event for Tall Pine Council. It will be a full day. We need Scouts to arrive from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM and stay until 6:15 PM. Lunch and dinner will be provided for all volunteers. The Scouts are needed to pull targets and to keep score for the shooters on the course, but they will also help with traffic control/direction and preparation before the start of the event. This is a good opportunity to support our Council, earn service hours and have a great time doing it.

If you would like more information or are interested in volunteering for this event, please contact:

Friends of Scouting

It’s time once again to help inform our families on the importance of supporting the Scouting program in our communities. That support comes in many forms, and financial contributions are an important one. FOS is the one of the largest sources of income for the Tall Pine Council, and we couldn’t operate without it.

Please plan 10 to 15 minutes for a FOS presentation in your Blue & Gold Banquet or troop Court of Honor in the months of January, February and March. Unit leaders will be contacted for dates, times and locations - but you can help us out by sending the information sooner to:

Nadine Baxter
810-694-4594
or

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. A 10 percent (minimum $5.00) administration fee will be withheld from the refund. 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.
