CLICK HERE for Registration Form | | | 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

| | | Positive Quote & Prayer
-------------------------------- "Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life."
~ Confucius
Labor Day Prayer
God, help us to build a new world in the midst of the old. A world where all workers are valued. A world where those who clean houses are able to buy houses to live in. A world where those who grow food and afford to eat their fill. We pray for the coming of a world where all workers everywhere share in the abundance that you have given us. We ask these things knowing that you give us the courage and strength to live out our faith in the workplace and in the marketplace, as well as in the sanctuary. Laboring God, as you labor with us, may we labor for you, ever committed to do your good in the world. Amen. | |  Joe Daniszewski
