Tamanend District News: May 2024

Adventure-Con!

I would like to thank each and everyone of you who came out to the this year and making the "pilot" of this event such a success. Of the 107 units across the Council who attended the event, Tamanend made up a 35 of them, the highest of any district. As a district, we had 65% attend, which included 16 of our packs (72% of the district). Way to go Tamanend!

Upcoming Summer Rallies

Popcorn

Last year's popcorn sale was a big success, growing by 38% compared to the previous year's sale. This success was not only to the great participation from our district, but due to the new support and tools from the WCC and Trail's End. Plans are currently underway to continue our success, and we encourage both new and returning units to participate in this year's sale. More information and kickoff registrations will be available soon, but save the date for one of the following kickoff rallies:
