1. Sale Options: Show and Deliver Show and Sell
Recruit some moms with mini vans to take several Scouts to canvas rural areas that are untapped areas
Take a cart or wagon with product and canvas your local neighborhood
Go to local mom/pop stores or markets and see if they’ll support a sale
Show and Sell
Store front sells with shifts and times for every Scout to participate
Display photos from unit events to let potential customers see what they are supporting
Do knot tying skills or some achievement work in order to highlight Scouting while also entertaining the boys
Show and Sell is the easiest way because it’s all done in one stop. Product on hand is sold, money collected and product given = completion!
There is not an additional distribution day, meaning no additional transportation needed. No secondary visits to the customers to collect monies and deliver product.

2. Units, Do you have Scouts that don’t participate in the sale
Units, Do you have Scouts that don’t participate in the sale? Do you financially support those Scouts? Implement Show and Sell and make it a requirement to attend at last two of the six scheduled Show and Sells. Make them contribute to the success and financial stability of the unit. It’s not right for the top selling Scouts to carry those Scouts that do not participate with so many opportunities to sell: Show and Sell, Show and Deliver, Take Order and Online.

3. Take Order Online Sales Mom and Dad could take order forms to work
Take to sporting events and school to ask teachers & coaches
Go door to door
Online Sales
Check out the new Trails End on-line sales site, commissions will now be 40% not just the base commission of 24%. They have made it really easy for Scouts to build their own sales template to send to friends and family with photos from their unit activities so their buyers can see what they are supporting 
Scouts can either create their own accounts or unit leaders you can send them an invite from the unit profile. To ensure the safety of our Scouts the invite has to be initiated by an adult.
