KERNEL JOURNAL - July 3, 2025

 

Now is the time, the best time to Register Your Unit for the Sale!

To ensure you receive all crucial information about the sale, have your unit kernel register your unit today on the Pecatonica website. Registering doesn't commit you to selling, but it's the first step to staying in the loop.

Important Incentive: Units that sign up by July 15th will receive:

  • An entry to win an up-to-$50 pizza party coupon for your kickoff (one per district)! Drawings will take place at each kickoff event.
  • Early access to sign up for prime Walmart Show & Sell locations!

What to Know Before Registering

  • You'll be asked to choose between an awesome prize program for your Scouts OR an additional 3% commission for your unit.
  • The Council code is: 449BSAC.

Don't Miss Our Popcorn Kickoff Rallies!

These rallies are your chance to learn all the details and pick up your sale materials. All rallies start at 7:00 PM.

  • Thursday, July 24: Findlay, St. Michael’s Church
  • Monday, August 4: Defiance, Camp Lakota Dining Hall Pavilion
  • Tuesday, August 5: Celina, Purple Door Church
  • Wednesday, August 6: Lima, Lima Scout Shop
