It’s awesome to see so many units registered for the fall popcorn sale, signing up for site sales, and working to place their popcorn orders! But, if you have yet to join in YOU STILL CAN!! Units and individual youth can still register to start earning for next summer’s adventures.

First orders will give units product on hand starting on this week, but if you forgot to order we have some extra to get you through. The second orders to provide product on September 14/15 are open now. 10/31/23: Third (Take Orders) orders due

For the dates and info check your email, go to https://seattlebsa.org/popcorn or contact Chaffin at chorner@seattlebsa.org.

The BSA will implement the following national membership fees which were approved by the National Executive Committee at the annual meeting. Scouting offers a valuable year-round program at a reasonable annual price, however if needed registration assistance is available. If you are hosting joining events make sure families are aware of the membership fee changes effective August 1st, 2023.
