| New | Trail's End Digital Take Order App is Available TODAY! | | | 
Trail's End is pleased to announce that our mobile take order form is available for download from the Apple, Android and Windows App Stores. This app will allow Scouts to take orders on a mobile device and accept payment in cash, check or credit card. Orders will be automatically uploaded to the Trail's End Popcorn System rolling into the units' orders. Importantly, this app is not part of the online selling platform; therefore, product will still need to be delivered to the consumer. Online selling at trails-end.com will continue to be direct-to-consumer delivery.
Enabling the app requires both council and unit set up in the Trail's End Popcorn System. The council will need to give permission for app orders and assign delivery locations to the orders and for each unit on the app enabled orders. The unit will need to provide banking information. Step-by-step instructions are provided in the attached. The documents include both a simple one-page overview and detailed instructions for all users.
As always, please feel free to contact us if you have questions or need assistance.
Sincerely, Chuck Pattison and Joe Macaluso

The Staff is busy getting themselves and the materials needed ready for the course. Wood Badge Buddies have been assigned to each participant. Their job is to answer questions, address concerns, gather needed information and generally make getting ready for the course easier for participants. With the possible exception of those Scouters who have signed up within the last couple of days, by now all participants should have had direct contact from their Wood Badge Buddy. If you have not, please feel free to write me at troop304sm@aol.com; or call at (909) 720-7359. If you have not signed up for Wood Badge yet, please do so right away. The course is filling rapidly. Get your registration into the council office right away. Camperships are available on a first come, first served basis. The LDS church offers camperships for members of their church.

Every Sea Scout Ship is encouraged to plan an open house for the incoming class of 2020 in September or October.

-------------------------------- "Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through
which you must see the world."
~ George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish Playwright
Olympic Prayer
May all beings everywhere find peace in their souls,
May all peoples find kindness toward their fellow humans,
May our differences subside and be replaced with compassion,
May we discover understanding and acceptance of each other,
May peace ring through our voices and actions,
May the actions of all come together in love and kindness.
May all those attending the games be held in safety,
May the all arrive and return to their homes protected and secure.
And so it is that peace and kindness reign over us all. | |  Joe Daniszewski
