 Optional Group Recognition program includes:  If a Group opts to participate, each participant in the Group will receive 5% of their gross sales in Scout Shop gift cards  For example, if a youth sells $515 of product they would receive a $25 gift card  The 5% profit recognition payment is a combination of 4% paid out of the Group’s profit and 1 % paid out of the National office  Increments would be:  $200-$299 sold receives $10 gift card  $300-$399 sold receives $15 gift card  $400-$499 sold receives $20 gift card  $500-$599 sold receives $25 gift card  $600-$699 sold receives $30 gift card, etc  Scout Shop gift cards can be used online at scoutshop.ca, at any Scout Shop location or through a point-of-sale terminal in a Council office for Council-sponsored activities.  Groups have until October 1 st to decide if they wish to “opt in” to the program.

Whether a youth sold $200 or $299, the youth receives a $10 in Scout bucks. The Group pays $8 and Scouts Canada pays $2.

The Tier 2 recognition is an incentive to get the youth to increase sales. Groups will receive a greater profit that more than covers the cost of the recognition program. We have asked National as to who will track the recognition. Expect Groups to submit to Areas, Council and a consolidated submission to National.

 We still need the listing of contacts at the Group level. (Only have Odawa)  Needed so we can track who is accessing the Trails End Website and for Password control  Trails End Scholarship program is still available for youth.  Order forms and envelopes pick up at VC Office
