Pack 1017 Popcorn Fundraiser

Ways to Sell:                                                                                          

Take Orders

• The Scout with his Akela goes door to door with a Take Order Form. Take Order Forms will provided during the Popcorn Kickoff.

• The customer writes his/her order on the Take Order Form and the Scout collects the money.

• The Scout processes the order and delivers the Popcorn to the Customer in a few weeks.

Selling at Work

• Mom and/or Dad take an order form to their work.

• Fellow co-workers write their order on the order form.

• Mom and/or Dad deliver product and collect the money in a few weeks.

• (It is best to collect the money upfront when possible.)

Selling Online

• The Scout communicates his Order Key via email, phone, and so on, to potential or existing customers. The Customer can go online and purchase popcorn with a Credit Card  at http://www.trails-end.com/trailsend/scouts/

• The Product is shipped directly from Trail’s End to the customer and the Scout and Unit receive credit for the Sale.

Show and Sells

• Show and Sells make up a big part of our popcorn program. We've obtained permission from local businesses to set up a sales table.  Show and Sells have plenty of products on-hand for people to buy and different Scouts work at the table in shifts.  Always have adult supervision.  

• Check the calendar for show and sell times and other important details.

Scouts can also create their own Show and Sell 

• Scouts may reach out to local businesses and getting permission to set up a table for sales.  If you do, be sure to let us know.  We're happy to help you help us by coordinating other Scout's participation and providing the popcorn!

Signing up for Show and Sells

• • Please let Hillary know if you plan on attending a Show & Sell and for how long you'll be on site. Scouts are awarded funds into their account based on their participation. 

• Scouts are encouraged to participate in as many Show and Sells as possible.

• Lions & Tigers must have their Adult Partner with them at a Show & Sell unless other arrangements have been made prior to the Show & Sell date.

• Please come ready to sell during your shift. Do not leave to go eat lunch and then come back. You many have a small snack with you, but no "breaks" are given unless a Scout is there for more than 1 shift. Please do not leave and go "look around."

• Please try not to bring siblings, unless both kiddos are Scouts, at a Show N Sell. If it's a must, the sibling must be occupied and not running around. This behavior causes distractions and we want to make sure we're allowed to return in coming years to these places of business. 

Prizes and Rewards:

• Prizes from Trail's End for reaching a certain sales goal. 

• Tickets are given to Scouts throughout the popcorn season for a chance at a high-end prize given by Pack 1017. Please attend the Popcorn Kick-off or email Hillary for info on how to earn tickets.

• Pie-In-The-Face for Den Leaders and Cubmasters for Dens and the Pack reaching their sales goals.
