Popcorn Time!

Welcome to the 2024 Boy Scout Popcorn Season! Shayna Hart (Bubba’s mom) is coordinating our fundraising effort again this year.

Popcorn Season kicks off in August and lasts until November! Last year we sold $29,831 in popcorn, which provided over $11,825 for our Troop. This year our goal is $10,000! To accomplish this goal, we need all scouts to help. If every scout sold $850 we would easily meet our goal and each scout could have his dues paid for next year! Scouts can sell door to door, online, and at our show and sales.

POPCORN

There are a few new flavors, some past flavors are making a comeback, and some flavors are still hanging around. We may have some samples at our next meeting. Shayna will have popcorn the first weekend of September. So, start selling and taking orders!

BROCHURES

Shayna has brochures available now. Contact Shayna if you would like to stop by their house to pick up some brochures. She will also have them at our next meeting, which will include a Popcorn kick-off and a “how-to” demonstration by Bubba, our troop’s perennial top seller.

ONLINE ORDERS

Online orders allow friends and family out of town to support your scouting experience. We receive 30% of online sales. Sellers’ codes remain the same year to year. If you don’t know your code, please contact Shayna and she can provide it to you. Items online may differ from the brochure items. Also, online sales have free shipping, which is a great way to drum up out of town sales.

SHOW & SALES

If you would like to sign up for a show and sale, there will be sign up sheets at our next meeting (September 3rd). We divided all show and sales into 1 hour time slots, but scouts may sign up for more than 1 time slot. Scouts must be in Class A uniform when selling, especially at show and sales. Also, please plan to stay with your scout while he is selling at any Show & Sales, unless you have made other specific arrangements with an adult leader from the troop. Shayna will provide all needed materials for the Show & Sales, but can only work a few of the booths herself.

INCENTIVES

The prize sheet for this year’s popcorn season shows the prizes offered by council, as well as prizes provided by Troop 5 for extra motivation. Please review the prize sheet and determine which prize you would most like to earn!
