    Popcorn Sale 2009

    Why Sell Popcorn?

     

     


    What would you do with over $12,000?

    That's is the amount that Pack 249 earned from participating in the popcorn sale last year for their unit program.

    Why sell popcorn besides earning up to $12,000 more?

    1. It's easy. The Trail's End program is designed to be simple and easy to administer. The basic premise of the program is for Scouts, Scouters and families to take orders, and then distribute the products to the customers.

    2. One Fundraiser for the Entire Year. With Trail's End popcorn and the Ideal Scouting Year concept, you can plan on doing just one fundraiser to meet all of your Scouting needs. For example, Pack 249 of the Rattlesnake Ridge District sold $25,000 worth of Popcorn in 2008. Of that they were able to keep over $12,000 to meet the needs of a very active year of Cub Scouting through one fundraiser!

    3. High Commissions. Up to 43% of your sales goes directly to your unit. This money can be used to go camping, for advancements, volunteer training or for any other needs that you may have during your Ideal Year of Scouting.

    4. No out of Pocket Expenses for Unit. Since all sales are done through orders, there are no up front expenses for the unit.

    5. Your Support Team. The Blue Mountain Council is committed to making this campaign successful for you and your families. The volunteer and professional support system is extensive and excited to serve.

    6. High Quality Product. Trail's End popcorn is part of the Weaver Popcorn Company (established in 1928), which is one of the world's largest popcorn producers. They are committed to customer satisfaction and the success of your individual unit campaign. Check them out at www.trails-end.com.

    7. Prize Programs. To help with your campaign, an exciting prize incentive program has been developed. This program will help you recognize your Scouts for outstanding sales efforts and will help you realize your goal of an Ideal Year in Scouting. Coleman, BSA Scoutstuff.org, Wal-Mart, Games & Gadgets Web gift cards are available as well as a prize drawing.
