OUR GOAL We want to fund our Scouting program entirely with popcorn! Each Scout will work 5 storefront shifts (2 hours each) OR sell a minimum of $1,000 in popcorn. Scouts can work additional storefront shifts, sell door-to-door with a wagon, sell at their parents’ workplace, and online to friends and family. The more Scouts sell, the bigger the prize they earn! Last year Scouts averaged $125/hr in sales. This expands the Scout goal to the Unit level. Expect objections! Even finish the slide with “I know $30,000 sounds like a lot, but this wasn’t our idea. Pack 2017 gave us their system, and we’re going to share that with you.”

OUR GOAL This slide has a video imbedded. I removed the video to shrink the file size. This is the video I play. https://youtu.be/RsYY3uMkFwU This video is to motivate the Scouts, and explain the concept of our fundraiser. We all sell $1,000, and the Ideal Year of Scouting is paid for.
