District Note: Popcorn Training Event May 31 (Wednesday, May 21, 2008)
TO PIEDMONT DISTRICT SCOUTERS:
Make the Most of your unit's popcorn sale!
The Trail's End Popcorn Team will be coming to Winston-Salem on Saturday, May 31 to help units build the best popcorn sale ever. They will be at Augsburg Lutheran Church Family Life Center (a location convenient to ALL!) 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Up to two leaders per unit can attend - it is recommended that the Popcorn Chair and Unit Leader (Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, Crew Advisor) be selected to attend for your unit.
They will cover conducting of a great unit kickoff, motivation for your Scouts and parents, designing your unit's prize package, and setting unit & youth goals. There will be a FREE BBQ lunch for attendees and drawings for a Razor USA Electric Scooter, a Nintendo DS Light Game System, two $100 gift certificates to the Scout Shop, and lots of other giveaways - including free Trail's End t-shirts for all attendees. Plus you get to see the new products and prizes for 2008.
Attendees must register by calling or emailing Betty Ann Ritchey at the council office (760-2900 or britchey@bsamail.org).
It has been definitely proven right here in the Piedmont District of the Old Hickory Council that participating in our annual popcorn sale is the easiest and most profitable money raising event for our units.
This is the first time in about 5 years that they have been here, so plan to take advantage of this opportunity!

District Note: PDAC Merit Badge Results (Thursday, May 1, 2008)
TO PIEDMONT DISTRICT SCOUTERS:
Attention Scoutmasters:
If your troop attended the PDAC event (Piedmont District Advancement Camporee - the event formally known as Expo) this last weekend, the merit badge advancement information is now available on the council website. We mentioned at the event that it would take a few days to post the information and we now have it posted.
You can go directly to the link- http://www.oldhickorycouncil.org/padc.html
(The following is the navigation as to how to get there from the main page of our website:
The council website is www.oldhickorycouncil.org
Once there, click on ‘my local district’ and then click on ‘Piedmont.’ Once there, click where it says ‘Click here for the Piedmont Advancement Camporee (Expo).’)
You will then see the links for the instructions to view the merit badge tracker. It is very important that you read the instructions before reading the merit badge tracker. Once in the merit badge tracker you will be able to sort by troop number and see your Scouts who participated and what they earned.
In the instructions it indicates that the completed requirements are indicated with a gray shaded space. It may be also shown with a Y (meaning that yes, they completed that requirement).
Each Scout’s full first name is listed with the first initial of his last name. No other information save his troop number and what requirements he completed are listed in this file.
