Service Project
Dear Parents and Scouts,
My name is Konrad Wozniak, and I am a member of the National Junior Honor Society at Meadowlark Middle School, Scout Troop 934. And this is a kind reminder about my service project, Warm Coats for Warm Hearts.
I am collecting gently used or new winter coats for children, teens, and adults in need. All donations will go to the Community Coat Closet, a local nonprofit organization that provides coats to individuals and families in need, including victims of Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina.
Here are the key details of the project:
Collection Period: Now through December 2024
What I Need: Gently used or new coats for children, teens, and adults
Goal: To collect 100 coats
I would appreciate any donation, help me achieve my goal and spread warmth this winter.
For more information, or if you would like to discuss partnership opportunities, please feel free to contact my parents, Ewa Tomczak-Woźniak at 336-602-5361 or Zibi Woźniak at 336-553-7119.
Your support would make a big difference!
Warm regards, Konrad Wozniak National Junior Honor Society Member Meadowlark Middle School Scouts Troop 934 (Troop Historian, Mount Tabor United Methodist Church) Scout Pack 934 (Den Chief)

Today is your LAST DAY to turn in your completed popcorn and peanut paper order forms. If you did NOT hand to me at Monday’s meeting, then please do the following:
Text an image of each form with scout name listed to Matt Love at 336-406-9641.
If you did not hand me physical forms nor text me images, your door-to-door orders will not be fulfilled.
Lastly – Online orders are still possible through Halloween. See below how to easily promote online-only sales this week:
Visit this link: PopcornOrdering | Camp Masters; Next, input your scout’s name, verify the Troop 934 association listed next to his name and take note of the “Key Code” at the far right.
Share that same link with family, friends, and coworkers and your scout’s Troop 934 Key Code for immediate lookup – by email or social media. These online purchases are available beyond Monday’s meeting. They credit toward your scout’s $700 commitment and ship directly to the consumer.
These online sales do NOT get recorded on your paper order forms.
Troop meetings tonight at 7pm! Yes – we know there was no school today! See you there!
With our storefront sales concluded, now is the big push for DOOR TO DOOR and ONLINE sales through the month of October. See you at tonight’s raffle!
Venturing Crew
Attention Older Scouts and Youth – Join the new Venturing Crew 934
The new Venturing Crew 934 will formally kick off with an interest meeting, activities, and free Chick-Fil-A in the MTUMC Fellowship Hall on Monday, October 14 at 7:15pm. Crew 934 is a new coed unit for older scouts and other youths age 15-21 that will focus on high adventure and service. Venturing differs from traditional scouting in that it is 100% youth led. The youth officers and venturers will choose the adventures they want, then plan and implement them. This will be a fun group and a great way for older scouts to remain active while engaging in new and different adventures. Come see what we’re all about! Flyer included at the bottom of this email.

At this past week’s meeting we raffled off hundreds of dollars’ worth of gear – from Camel Back Rim Runner Pack to Ultra Light Collapsing Camp Chair – and recognized first online sellers. And the weekend prior we executed our first storefront sale of the season! See below for information on the next raffle and how to get your name into the vacant spots on the storefront signup link:
Door to Door Sales:
– I’d like to stress the importance of this traditional sales method alongside the others; Selling to neighbors, teachers and family is highly effective because of the relationships involved; $100 in new weekly sales gets your scout into Monday’s next raffle!
– Bring both sheets Monday. I pull reports for their online sales, so don’t record those on the paper sheets.
– Remember that you can take cash now or later, but parents are responsible for bundling cash then presenting a check payable to Troop 934
– Popcorn & Peanuts will be provided mid-November, at which point scouts then deliver to the door-to-door buyers
– Parents, please do not log door to door nor storefront sales into the popcorn portal
Storefront Sale Update:
– Storefront sales signups can be found on the popcorn page from the troop website https://troop934.org
– I deliver the popcorn inventory and “sales kit” to the adult volunteers … all you need to do is show up!
Online Sales:
– Congratulations to Daniel Ertl, Daniel Honeycutt, Elliott Love, Adam Scott & Nash Williams for joining the “Online Sales Club!”
– Special mention for Nash who has made SIX such online sales – ask his family how easy it is!
– Log into campmasters.org then click “Promote Yourself Online” for easy instructions
– These sales get direct-shipped to the buyer with no follow-up required by scouts; I track the sales towards your raffle participation
Thank you all for your continued support … need a big push from all scouts – RAVENS to EAGLES on door to door & online sales!

Storefront Sale Update:
– This weekend’s storefront sale at Ace Hardware still has room – as do other dates later this month!
Thank you for your time discussing our Popcorn & Peanut fundraiser during the Court of Honor.
It was great seeing 11 scouts hit the deck running, generating $1200 in Week 1 total sales, and awarding a crisp $100 bill to Adam Scott who won our first raffle.
Each of the next five (5) Mondays scouts will need to bring:
– Updated, legible popcorn & peanut sales sheets
– Check(s) payable to Troop 934 (including one from you representing cash from take sales)
– Note: parents please do not log door to door nor storefront sales into the popcorn portal (I take care of this for you)
How to qualify to enter the weekly raffles?
– Every week your scout sells an incremental $100 or more over the last week, his name goes into the drawing
– I pull reports for their online sales so please do not record those on their paper sales sheets
The awarding of gift cards for every scout making at least one online sale was moved to Monday 9/16 to all more scouts to participate
– Each of you was sent a login email from “Camp Masters Customer Service” for easy portal access. If you don’t have this, please visit the following link and register your scout, taking care to align him to TROOP 934: Camp Masters
– Once inside, click “Promote Yourself Online,” then enter an email address to which Camp Masters will send his personal popcorn page.
– It also gives you the option to copy his personal popcorn page address for distribution on social media.
Store front sales will be running Saturdays and Sundays during September
– These are “Class A Uniform” events where the scouts do the approaching & selling
– Parents serve as cashbox handlers and safety advisors
– Total daily sales are divided equally among the scouts working that day
THANK YOU for supporting the Troop and your scout’s fulfillment of the $700 sales commitement … and beyond!
I’m looking forward to discussing Popcorn with Parents & Scouts at Monday night’s Court of Honor.
Ahead of that, please read these key updates:
– Your Scout should have brought home (1) Popcorn Sales Sheet & (1) Peanut Sales Sheet from last week’s meeting. This is where “door to door” sales are registered. Please ask him to show them to you. I will have more at the meeting.
– At Monday’s Court of Honor I will raffle a $100 cash prize! Scouts earn 1 entry for a sale on the sales sheet (someone at home or a neighbor) and 3 additional entries for a sale on the sales sheet to a registered school teacher or coach! Make sure your Scout is in the game this weekend and Monday at school.
– The Camp Masters popcorn portal is your starting place for online sales. This is a great sales method to reach family, friends, and coworkers. Each of you was sent a login email from “Camp Masters Customer Service” for easy portal access.
– At Monday’s Court of Honor I will give each Scout with at least one online sale a gift card! How to participate: Log in to Camp Masters, click “Promote Yourself Online,” then enter an email address to which Camp Masters will send his personal popcorn page. It also gives you the option to copy his personal popcorn page address for distribution on social media. One online sale by Monday night gets you in the game!
I look forward to celebrating with you and your Scouts Monday night.
Troop 934 will be going back to the Nantahala River September 13-15 for our ever popular white water rafting trip. We will leave Friday, September 13 from the Mt. Tabor Methodist lower parking lot and will return Sunday, September 15 in the afternoon.
There are a limited number of spots for this trip so please sign up early at the link below. We will HAVE to have at least seven (7) adult leaders to serve as river raft guides to make this trip possible. Don’t worry if you don’t have any river rafting experience. We will train you on how to guide a boat. Ravens are welcome on this trip but priority will be given to older Scouts so there is a separate sign up for Ravens. If we have space, then we will take as many Ravens as we can to fill up all spots in order of when they signed up.
We will be staying in a lodge building with 8 bunkbeds per room and each has a private bathroom so all you will need to bring is bedding or a sleeping bag and towels.
There may be a possibility of ziplining on Saturday afternoon after the rafting but we will not know that until much closer to that day. This will be an added cost if you want to zipline.
Cost of this trip is $75 plus ziplining and lunch on Sunday on our return. Sign up here.
Please contact Lee Danhauer if you have any questions about this trip. This will fill up fast so register as soon as possible.
Pack 910 Support
Pack 910 is having a field day on September 8th and we need a few den chiefs to help out from 3:30 to 5 pm at St Pauls. If you are interested, please sign up at this link.
Luke Mistor’s Eagle Scout Workday
Due to rain, Luke’s project has been rescheduled for September 14th at 9:00 AM. It will be at the Ken Carlson Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club, 2100 Reynolds Park Road. They will be building a shelter on the soccer field. Food and Drinks will be provided.
