Boy Scout Troop 1001

It's easy and fun to sell popcorn because people love supporting Scouting and getting the popcorn. "This great tasting popcorn makes great gifts if you can keep from eating it all yourself!" Information and order forms were distributed at the September 15 meeting. If you did not get a copy, see the Popcorn Kernels at the next meeting or download an order form online.

Why sell popcorn?

• Everyone who sells to 30 customers earns a Bow & Mallow (one customer per line).
• All of your 28% commissions go into your personal account in the troop treasury. Use your money for dues and troop activities such as campouts and summer camp.
• Start a college fund. Sell $2500 in one season; 6% of your annual sales goes into your fund thereafter.
• Support BSA and Circle 10. Without BSA, we wouldn't be here!
• Encourage our U.S. Troops! You get commissions for all $25 donations to send popcorn to the U.S. Troops! Give a tax-deductible receipt.

Simplify the Sales & Delivery Process:

• Collect the money when you take your orders.
• Ask people if it's OK to leave the popcorn on their porch if they're not home when you deliver.

Order deadline: Orders and money are due to the Popcorn Kernels (Dave & Kathryn Mohn) by the Monday, October 20th troop meeting.

Bow & Mallow:

• The deadline to take a copy of your "Fill-It-Up" Popcorn order form to a scout store and exchange it for a Bow & Mallow is October 28th.
• Your order form must have one customer per line or 30 customers.
• You must retain a legible copy to give to the Troop Kernels so we can order your popcorn.

Popcorn pickup: Saturday, November 8th. Stay tuned for announcement of pickup time. Tell your customers they'll have their popcorn by Thanksgiving but probably before. Then, make sure you get it all delivered!
