It’s Popcorn Time!
September 1, 2019 - October 13, 2019
What: | 2019 Popcorn Fundraiser |
---|---|
When: | September - October 2019 |
Why: | To Support your Pack and Scouting as a whole |
Popcorn is our only fundraiser for our Scouting year! It also supports the whole Scouting organization with 73% of the sales are profits back to scouting!
We encourage each boy to do their best to try to sell at least 10 different people… but more sales will bring incentives & prizes.
- A percentage of the Pack’s profits raised by the scout will go into that Scout’s “Scout Account”. Balances in Scout Accounts can be use to offset individual expenses (trip expenses, Blue & Gold tickets, etc.)
- Additional prizes may be earned by scouts based on how much popcorn they sell (see below order form for details).
- All Scouts that sell $250 or more of popcorn get to throw a pie in the face of on of their leaders!
- Top three (3) sellers get an extra pie to throw a pie in the face of on of their leaders!
- Participate in two (2) or more Show-N-Sells OR $600 or more in door-to-door sales and win a trip to Treehouse World
- Participation reward: If you made your goal (of at least $25 or sell popcorn to at least 3 people), set up your online account or participate in a Show-N-Sell, you get to participate in an Ice-Cream Party!
All popcorn order forms must be turned in by October 13th.
Pack Show-N-Sells
Our Pack Show-N-Sells scheduled at Acme, Wawa, Brothers Pizza & ACE Hardware this year. Show-N-Sells are a great way for Scouts to build comradery and learn about teamwork and is also a great way for any Scouts that do not feel comfortable with “door-to-door sales” to participate in the popcorn fundraiser. When a Scout participates in a Show-N-Sell, a portion of the profits earned during his shift will be counted towards his total sales for the year. To see a full list of Show-And-Sell dates and locations, and to sign up for a shift, log into your Scout’s Trails-End.com account and click “Book a Shift”.
Please notice that some of this year’s Show-N-Sells take place before the opening pack meeting so they may be a great place for the boys to catch up before the big kick-off.
Want to get a headstart on your popcorn sales?
We will be distributing hard copies of the popcorn order form to all scouts at the opening pack meeting in September, but if you want to get started earlier please feel free the check out the Trails End website for online sales details.
There’s an App for that!
New this year, you can now track sales and take payment through the new Trails End app. See the Popcorn Resources page for instructions.
Sell Popcorn Online!
Do you have friends/relatives that would live to support scouting by buying popcorn, but they live too far for personal delivery? Scouts can also sell popcorn online by setting up an accout and emailing invitations. Online purchases are shipped directly to the buyer and the scout still receives credit. How easy is that?
