Popcorn and wreath sales start today!
Popcorn and wreath sales start today! Make sure to pick up your “show-and-sell” popcorn from Ann Rorem if you haven’t already.
AND, we forgot to mention (sorry!) that our minimum expected sales total is the same as last year: $250. If you receive donations rather than sales, the donations only need to be 1/2 that amount total.
This is a minimum expected number for sales of wreaths and popcorn combined. We’d love each scout to out-sell that, but we really do need to shoot for that minimum number to keep providing the same level of pack funding that we have in the past. (Everyone gets a book and neckerchief and t-shirt from the pack, we pay a large amount for scouts to do most events including covering supplies, we pay for all uniforms and training for all of our leaders, etc. We also pay a substantial amount (about 1/2 of the cost) of summer camping experiences for any scouts that meet the minimum level.)

Remember that popcorn sales only go toward the prizes on the enclosed sheet on the packet; wreath sales have a separate reward structure for scouts this year, where they will get 5% of sales back in cash (so they can use on Christmas presents on or scout products/activities as their parents see fit).
