Issue #7 – May 2015
Award Season and End of Year Ceremonies
It is that time of year again and many clubs are finishing up the school year with their annual Court of Awards Ceremony. Please remembers to plan ahead! All badges are made to order and we get very busy this time of year. We also only keep a small inventory of higher awards in stock at any one time and back orders can take up to 2 weeks to receive. In order to ensure that you have everything you need for your ceremony, please try to place your order a minimum of 3 weeks before you need the items. If you wait until the last minute and do not get everything you need in time for your ceremony, remember that there are printable certificates in the Members Area of the website that can be used until the actual badge/award arrives.
