Why Sell Popcorn and Coffee?
Pack 51 spends at least $100 per scout per year for meeting activities, Pinewood Derby, Blue and Gold, snacks, outdoor adventures, and advancements. Selling popcorn is how we avoid asking scouts to pay dues.
Paying your own way is an important principle in scouting. Selling products to cover your scouting costs is a great way to pay your way and work on social skills and manners.
Goals
We’ve set a goal of $300 in product sales for each scout. This will cover their program costs for the year. Any sales over $300 will go to cover that scout’s Cub Camp costs for next summer.
$530 in additional sales($830 total sales) will send you to camp for FREE!
How to Sell
There are three ways to sell this year- Door to Door/Orders, Online, and Show and Sell
Order Form/ Door to Door
This is the most popular method, in which Scouts sell individually by taking-orders, and collecting payment, which will be delivered at a later date.
Wear your uniform, follow the buddy system, and ALWAYS say THANK YOU! Have a responsible Adult present, and never enter homes.
Scouts should tell the customer their popcorn will be arrive mid-November, and should be personally delivered to their doors by scouts as soon as possible.
The Adult/Scout partner should write on the order forms to avoid confusion on delivery. Always make sure to get the customer name, address, and phone number on door to door sales.
Payment is collected at the time of sale, not at delivery. All checks should be payable to: Shelbyville Lions Club Pack 51
