Let The Sale Begin.......

Everyone is counting on you - that's right, Scouting takes fundraising to make things happen. Hopefully by now you've had your kickoff, passed out all of the POS information, and are awaiting the results of your efforts. Oh wait.....did I do everything I could to make MY sale successful? If this has a familiar ring to it.....then do something today to change tomorrow. Your scouts, parents, district, and council are all dependent on YOU making a difference in YOUR scouting year.
Good luck with the sale, stop back, leave a comment, or tell us about your success.

2009-2010 Piedmont Council Popcorn Sale

Well, it's that time of year again. We just had the district kick-off last night and we had a great turnout. 25 units picked up popcorn information packs, and munched on carmel corn and BBQ. A lot of great information was shared. For those who didn't attend here are the highlights.
  • Anoint, appoint, or just choose a dynamic popcorn kernel for your unit
  • Pre-plan - sit down and plan your kick-off, your budget, and your management of the sale
  • Have a great kick-off - yell, shout, dress up, do whatever it takes to get the boys excited
  • Track - promote the blitz days, fill-it-up prizes, promote competition between dens, or patrols

The popcorn sale success starts, ends or succeeds with the unit leadership. If you want to have a great sale, and earn money for your boys, and your pack or troop - you will.

Have fun, Sell in uniform, and Make Money!
