When we are done selling, how do we turn in our sales sheets?

After the pack meeting on October 15 through October 31 there will be a box on the front porch at Matt Miller's house, 956 Everwood Run, Webster.
  
You MUST do the following:
  • Put your Scout's full name on every form.
  • Put your phone number on every form.
  • Choose a prize for your Scout based on how much they sold, and indicate it on the form. 
  • Total the columns for popcorn types ordered and total cost. 
Failure to follow directions and complete forms accurately makes the popcorn distribution VERY difficult.

When will we deliver the Popcorn?

Popcorn will be distributed by den leaders to their respective dens on or after November 22.

How are the proceeds from popcorn sales distributed?

Profits from the sale of popcorn are distributed to several levels of the scouting organization. The Council, the Pack and the Cub Scout all benefit from the sale.  The money allocated to the Pack pays for advancement (badges) and activities. This year scouts receive 30% of their sales in commissions. 75% of these earnings will be deposited into their Cub Accounts and 25% will go to our Pack. Example: Joey sells $100 in popcorn, he earns $30 in commission. He gets $22.50 in his Cub Acocunt, the Pack gets $7.50 for Pack events.
