One of several 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 who are not quite capable to do this kind of work, slows the process down. So this means only scouts & siblings 13 and older are to participate. Any questions or concerns regarding this please feel to call Pam or Laurie to discuss further.

Of the scouts who do attend, they must work their whole shifts and unless they are 15 years or older, must be accompanied with a parent, no exceptions! Only scouts 15 years old or older can work Sunday selling shifts. If they are working parking that day please make arrangements for them when they are done, we cannot have them hanging around the selling tent during your whole shift.

Since we need a certain number of volunteers for each shift, we need to make sure everyone is working their full shifts. 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 are short handed, even if it looks like we have plenty of volunteers.

Also leaders & other adults, if you are there just to take pictures then I cannot count that as a pie making shift and will need to schedule accordingly to make sure I have enough people on each shift so please let me know if you are there to make pies or take pictures. Also, I ask that you do your picture taking with the least disruption to the pie making as possible, please. As stated above we need a certain number of people working on pies to achieve our goal. The more people we have, working as fast as possible the more likely the goal will be met.
