KERNEL JOURNAL – Nov. 22, 2025

A HUGE SHOUTOUT to all the Scouts who participated in the Fall product sale this year as it was a tremendous success. With an increase of nearly 15 percent over last year’s sale, the return to Pecatonica Rivers Popcorn helped provide great tasting product and designer tins as packaging to help with sales.

Thank you to all the Scouts, families, Unit kernels & leaders, who played an instrumental part in this year's Fall product sale

This email is planned to be sent the week of Nov. 24 and will be sent to Unit Kernel, Committee Chair and Top Unit leader. If your unit would like the invoice sooner, contact Linda Weyer at Linda.Weyer@scouting.org for amount due because the unit dashboards show a larger amount.

Make your Unit payment using one of the following methods:
- Bring or mail your Unit check to the Findlay or Lima Scout offices.
- Payment by credit card is accepted but incurs a 3% processing fee.

We thank you for your efforts with this year's sale!
