Popcorn

Dear Scouts, Parents and Leaders,

My son and I have been doing scouting since he was seven years old. In the ten years of being a scout my son has participated in and funded his scouting adventure by selling scout popcorn. This has allowed him to cover the expenses of books, uniforms, annual registration, activity, and camp fees. As a parent, the value to me (besides easing my pocketbook) has been seeing my son build confidence, be responsible, be Thrifty, achieve goals, and grow into a strong productive teenager.
Today, I am inviting you to participate in the SUPER SECOND SALE TAKE ORDER CONTEST. The contest rules are attached for your review.
If your scout(s) need or want additional funds for their scouting adventure, please send your commitment to participate to larry.wunderly@scouting.org and to your Pack / Troop leader.
You can start taking orders immediately by clicking on this link and downloading the order form or securing a take order form from any of our Scout Shops. http://www.buckskin.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/2024-Buckskin-Take-Order-Form-Proof-1.pdf
PLEASE NOTE: Try and secure payment up front and turn in your order form and funds to your Pack / Troop by or before November 29, 2024. Orders are due to the Council Office on or before December 6, 2024, no later than 4 p.m.
I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to fund your scouting adventure.

Best Regards,

Larry Wunderly
Committee Chairman Troop 195
Assistant Scout Executive, Buckskin Council

There are Four Ways to Sell Popcorn!

Show and Sell:

Show N Sell is designed to sell popcorn that your unit pre-orders. Then, at locations of your choice, you and the scouts from your Unit sell the popcorn directly to the public. Suggested locations could include; Grocery Stores, Malls or any area with a large number of people. Popcorn from this sale is returnable by the full-unopened case only. Please Note: Customers who buy popcorn in the Show and Sell tend to buy the least expensive items. To insure success, it’s our recommendation that your scout also participates in the Take Order Sale.

Take Order Sale

Take-Order is a very effective way for your unit to raise funds. Scouts take orders on their form, then the order forms are turned in and one-unit order is made. Many sales can be made just through asking relatives, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. The popcorn is picked up by the Unit Popcorn Kernel and distributed to the scouts who made sales.

Show and Deliver:

This is the best way to increase popcorn sales. Scouts take an order form and the product door to door in their neighborhoods. The scout sells the product, delivers the product, and collects the money all in one trip.

Direct Delivery:

Customers can support your Scout from across the country with PopcornOrdering.com. Your Scouts can sell online to help earn their own way and fund their Scouting adventures! Your Leader can sign you up at www.campmasters.org.

Popcorn Training

The Buckskin Council wants the units in our council to earn as much as possible with the annual popcorn sale. One of the ways units can earn more is to make more commission on each sale. Units can earn additional commission by completing the items outlined in the Popcorn Kernel/Leader Guide. One of those items is to participate in the Popcorn Training.

CampMasters is now better able to help units securely accept credit card payments right in the CampMasters Sales system. Learn more about how this works. Submit the form below to receive the link and login information for this helpful webinar.
