Mrs. Lazarus is our Popcorn Kernel.

It’s time to sell Popcorn!    Here is your popcorn check list
Selling Goal for each scout is $800.00
  • 30% of your total sales is put in your scout account (if you sell $800, this is $240.00, which is enough to pay for summer camp in 2011)
  • 3% of your total sales- goes into the troop account (this helps pay for advancements)
  • Added Bonus of 2% will go into the scout account IF- the troop grows overall unit sales by 10% over 2009.  So for 2010 the Troop must sell $15,000 in popcorn. Yes we can do this!

Troop 325 Bonus Incentives:
  • For each troop meeting in September (15th and 29th) and October (13th and 27th) we will be tracking the progress of your popcorn sales.  This will include sales during show and sell events held by the troop.
  • For each $100 that is sold you will receive an entry into a drawing that will be held during each troop meeting. There will be 4 drawings.   Weeks #1, #2, #4 will be a $25.00 Gift Card from Dicks. Week #3 will be a drawing for a Marshmallow Crossbow.
  • So from August 28th to Sept 15, if you sell $400, you will receive 4 chances at the $25.00 Gift Card.  At the next troop meeting,  we will track your progress from the last meeting and for each $100 in sales you will get an entry into the drawing.   We will do this for the October meetings also.  Don’t worry, if you don’t win during week #1 you still have a chance to win during week #2, week #3 and week #4. Your tickets will accumulate each week.  So get out early and sell.

P.S. Always carry dog biscuits in your pocket for those barking dogs, but make sure you ask the owner first if the dog can have one.
