Safety Tips NEVER enter anyone’s home. NEVER sell after dark unless you’re with an adult. DON’T carry large amounts of cash. ALWAYS walk on the sidewalk and driveway. ALWAYS sell with another Scout or with an adult.

Selling Tips ALWAYS wear your uniform. ALWAYS smile and introduce yourself. ALWAYS tell your customers why you are selling popcorn. KNOW the different kinds of popcorn you’re selling. ALWAYS say “Thank You!” ALWAYS make a copy of your order form. ALWAYS have a clean order form with a pen.

Corporate Sales Scouts have had success approaching local businesses in their community about having them support Scouting programs. For many years, companies have used Scout Popcorn as a way to thank their customers and employees!
