2009 Popcorn Sale Information

Hi, folks.

Here's all you need to know!

Fun Begins with Popcorn!

Two ways to sell popcorn… Choose one or both!

1. Show & Deliver Sale

* Pick up popcorn at the Show & Deliver initial pick-up on Sept. 18 or 19. Exchange or replenish your popcorn supply as you go until Nov. 8!
* Have popcorn on hand to sell door-to-door. Deliver popcorn and collect money when you make the sale. This saves time!

2. Take-Order Sales

* Collect popcorn orders Sept. 19 – Nov.8.
* Take order form door-to-door and ask a parent to take an order form to work.
* Deliver popcorn and collect money in December.

---

Safety Tips

* Do not carry large amounts of money with you. Keep it at home or with an adult.
* Sell during daylight hours.
* Go with an adult.
* Stay at the front door when selling. Never go inside a house!

Selling tips

* Set a personal sales goal of $250. This will cover your annual dues.
* Wear your neat, clean uniform!
* Be courteous!
* Introduce yourself and state that you are selling popcorn to help pay for the fun things you are going to do in Scouting this year. Then ask if they would like to buy some or to make military donation. Say, “Thank you.”

September Pack Meetings

Hello Scouts-

The countdown to the start of the 2009-2010 Scouting year is getting short.....we are looking forward to a great year with your young scouts and you.

A few brief announcements-

**First, we have decided to limit the first meeting, Thursday September 10th, 6:45 to just NEW SCOUTS and WEBELOS. Existing Wolves and Bears need not attend; we have nothing planned. The new scouts (all levels) will require a lot of attention to get up to speed, and the Webelos (and their parents) have a special 'Webelos to Scouts' transition program planned with a district transition coordinator. So, Webelos parents, please plan to stay for that meeting - I think you'll get a lot out of it.

-------------------

The second meeting. just a week later, (Thursday 9/17, 6:45) will be for all scouts, as we have our annual ICE CREAM SOCIAL and POPCORN KICKOFF. We will also distribute the Pack Meeting schedule for the year and break into Dens to establish the Den schedules.

-------------------

Please recommend scouts to any of your son's friends - they are welcome to try a meeting or two before committing.

-------------------

Finally, we are always in need of parent volunteers to make the pack run. If you value scouting in your boy's life, please don't hesitate to jump in when the call goes out - I think you'll find that it's actually fun - we have a good core group and have a pretty good time behind the scenes.
