Popcorn

Benefits to Your Scout and Family:

• Teaches Scouts the value and process of setting and working toward goals

• Gives Scouts a strong sense of accomplishment through recognition

• Enhances communication, leadership skills and confidence in your Scout

• Scouts can earn valuable rewards including gift cards and prizes  

Ways to Sell:                                    

Take Orders

• The Scout, with their Akela, goes door to door with a Take Order Form.

• Order Forms will be available at the Popcorn Kickoff.

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

• The Scout turns in the order form to the Popcorn Kernel at the end of Popcorn sales, and then delivers the Popcorn to the Customer in a few weeks.

Selling at Work

• Parents take an order form to their work.

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

• Parents deliver product and collect the money in a few weeks.

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

Show and Sells

• Show and Sells make up a big part of our popcorn program. We've obtained permission from several stores  to set up a sales table.  

• Show and Sells have products on-hand for people to buy immediately.  

• Scouts work at the table in shifts.  Always with adult supervision.

• The Scouts earn money for their accounts based on the hours they work and the total sales of the Show and Sell.

• Show and Sell dates and times are listed on the right hand side of this page and on the Pack calendar.

Popcorn Blitz

• Everyone meets at one location and canvasses the adjacent neighborhood.

• Popcorn is available to deliver at the time of the blitz.
