Training Academy Sponsor & 
Midway Vendor Registration

Three Fires Council has served local youth for almost 100 years. Our trained leaders are a key component in offering youth (both boys and girls) a robust program that instills values, builds character, and produces tomorrow's leaders. Each fall, we host Training Academy, where leaders - both adult and youth - can take classes to develop and hone their skills.

Become a sponsor of Training Academy to show your support of our program while enjoying an excellent advertising opportunity. We offer a variety of ways for all budgets to be involved -- and have your name in front of our Scouts.

Vendor Midway At Training Academy

Grow your sales in leaps and bounds! Register for a table on the Vendor Midway at Three Fires Council's Training Academy to talk with Scouters face-to-face and remind them of your business in the future with an ad in our popular Vendor Midway Catalog (link to last year's is in the column to the right).   

At your table, display your business information, merchandise, services, and programs that are resources for the 3,000+ adult leaders / volunteers of the Three Fires Council. Be sure to bring plenty of brochures and business cards!

In your ad, continue to educate our leaders about your business, merchandise, products, and programs. Check out last year's catalog; click on the link in the right-hand column. (Specs for ads are included below.) Don't have an ad? Our Midway team can help! Contact Val Goldstein for details. 

In exchange for your participation, we'll help you stay in front of prospects and potential customers by distributing the Midway Vendor Catalog:

* in print to ALL Training Academy attendees on November 9th. (Close to 500 Scouters attended this live event in 2023).  The print deadline has passed. However, your ad can still be included in the electronic version of the Vendor Midway Catalog. 

* electronically to ALL Three Fires Council leaders in the December issue of The Flame, Three Fires Council's monthly leader newsletter. 

Want EVEN MORE exposure? Donate a raffle prize or gift certificate to your business for our door prize raffle at the Closing Ceremony. Companies that make a raffle donation will have their logos included: in the Opening Ceremony and on a thank-you page in the front of the Midway Vendor Catalog.
