Troop 125
Arts & Apples Festival
It’s that time again to sign up for your Pie making & selling shifts!
There are some changes this year, most notably changing of the guard, Laurie & Pam are handing the reins over to Diane Iglesias & Diane Howard. We (Laurie & Pam) will still be around to help with the transition and other related tasks. Thank you to Diane & Diane!
Please sign up for your Apple Pie making shifts now, as this is a first come first serve process! There are some changes this year, with some additional selling hours having been added. On Friday & Saturday the troop will be selling pies for PCCA, these are not the pies made by our troop. At the same time we will be making our Troop 125 Mile-high pies as usual. With the addition of the Friday & Saturday selling shifts we are counting on the older scouts, maybe even those who have transitioned out, to step up and put some selling time in.
The requirement this year, for each family will be to work five (5) shifts of dough, pie-making, or selling, this is mandatory. The 5 shifts can be any combination of dough, pie-making or selling, but must total 5.
*Please read this complete flyer as it will give you more information on who can work this event. I will try to limit the number of emails going out on this and the quicker you all respond the less I have to email reminders.

In an effort to increase the productivity and increase the money we make for the troop we are requesting the following:
- One of the ways we can use our time more wisely and increase productivity will be to decrease the number of shifts/hours scouts and other kids work. We love having the scouts participate, but this fundraiser has always been the parent’s responsibility. Having lots of scouts/kids there, some of whom are not quite capable to do this kind of work, slows the process down. Only scouts or siblings13 yrs and older are allowed to participate, any exceptions made would have to be discussed with Diane Iglesias.
- Of the scouts/kids who do attend, they must work their whole shifts and unless they are an 11th grader or older, must be accompanied with a parent, no exceptions! Only scouts 16 years old or older can work selling shifts, in fact we are putting out a special request for all older scouts; we really need your help for these extra selling shifts!
- If any scouts are working parking on selling days please make arrangements for them when they are done, we cannot have them hanging around the selling tent, even if you are there working your selling shift! Since we need a certain number of volunteers for each shift, we need to make sure everyone is working their required amount. So for example, if you sign up 4 people to work, then we are counting on 4 people working their whole shift. If one of them stops working and/or doesn’t complete their whole shift, then we are short handed, even if it looks like we have plenty of volunteers.
- If it turns out you can’t sign up until the last minute or didn’t sign up at all, please still call to see where we need help the most, rather than just showing up and leaving at random times.
Thank you!
