Popcorn Sales

We are very excited to kick off our main fundraiser of Popcorn Sales!  Our Pack receives 35% of all sales. This fundraiser allows our pack to go on our yearly camping trip, pays for the pinewood derby race, and so much more! We also have great incentives and prizes for all who participate. And most of all, its FUN!

Benefits to Your Scout and Family:

• Teaches Scouts the value & process of setting and working toward goals

• Gives Scouts a strong sense of accomplishment through recognition

• Enhances communication, leadership skills and confidence in your Scout

• Scouts can earn valuable rewards including gift cards and prizes

6 Tips on to Sell:                                                                                   

                                                                                                                   Taking Orders

• Door-to-door sales are underway! 

• Make sure you take an adult and wear your uniform! 

• Order forms will be available at the Pack meeting, or download and print an order form here http://seattlebsa.org/images/OnePage_orderform.pdf

Selling at Work

• Mom and/or Dad can also take an order form to their work.

• Fellow co-workers write their order on the order form.

• Mom and/or Dad deliver product and collect the money in a few weeks.

• (It is best to collect the money upfront when possible)

Selling Online

• Do you have friends and family that would like to support Pack 426? Its easier than ever to offer them an online order. To sign up to order online, go to http://sell.trails-end.com and create an account. All online sales go toward your scouts incentives and prizes.

• The Scout communicates his Order Key via email, phone, and so on, to potential or existing customers. The Customer can go online and purchase popcorn with a Credit Card.

• The Product is shipped directly from Trail’s End to the customer and the Scout and Unit receive credit for the Sale.

Show and Sells

• Show and Sells make up a big part of our popcorn program. We've obtained permission from local businesses to set up a sales table.  Show and Sells have plenty of products on-hand for people to buy.  Different Scouts work at the table in shifts.  Always have adult supervision.  

• Check the calendar for show and sell times and other important details.

Popcorn for our Troops

• Ever get those who say, “I don’t like popcorn.” Not a problem, consumers can still support our Pack and the U.S. Military by donating. 

• Trail’s End will send popcorn treats to the Military on behalf of the Boy Scouts of America. (Note: the order form offers 2 levels, feel free to write in any donation amount).

Scouts can also create their own Show and Sell 

• by reaching out to local businesses and getting permission to set up a table for sales.  If you do, be sure to let us know.  We're happy to help you help us by coordinating other Scout's participation and providing the popcorn!
