What the Popcorn Sales Makes Possible

The popcorn sale plays an important role in financially supporting our pack and the Northern Star Council in providing quality Scouting programs and services.  Popcorn sales are our Pack's largest fund-raiser.  With the money generated from this fund-raiser, we have been able to provide scouting activities and advancement free to our scouts!! 

 

Sales Tips

Have a sales goal. Have your son look at the prize program brochure and decide what prize level he wants to shoot for.

Your scout can watch the online youth training video available at trails-end.com and use the following script when selling

"Hi, my name is _________ and my pack is selling popcorn to help pay for the fun activities we do.  We're selling delicious Trails End Popcorn.  Can you please help me reach my goal and buy some today?  Thank you very much."

  • Wear your uniform
  • Smile and tell them who you are- first name only
  • Collect money at the time of order
  • Tell them you are from Pack 273
  • Tell them what you are doing (money earned toward scouting activities and advancement)
  • Always thank a customer (even if they are not able to order - thank them for their time)

 

Safety

  • Sell with another scout or an adult
  • Never enter anyone's home
  • Never sell after dark, unless with an adult
  • Don't carry large amounts of cash
  • Always walk on sidewalk (when available) and driveways
  • Be careful of dogs while selling
