POPCORN KICK OFF
It s that time of year again to start selling popcorn. This is a great way for each Pack to raise money for
themselves. Some of the other reasons to sell popcorn, are, an increase of community awareness of Scouting, Scouts
learn selling skills, it is a confidence builder, and an opportunity for scouts to earn many prizes.

Wear your uniform when selling.  Need ideas see.link

Order Must be turned in by Oct. 17, 2021  to the Den meeting.

Show and Sell

"Show and Sell" - sales are made in front of large stores or grocery stores for immediate delivery.

Saturday morning is often the best time.
Saturday afternoon is next best.
Sunday afternoon is good.

Wear your uniform

Show and Sell opportunities are everywhere! Walmart is just one of a list of major retailers and grocery stores that often allow Scout units to sell in front of their stores for immediate delivery.   How many Show and Sell opportunities do you have? Limit shifts for Cub Scouts to 2 hours or so. Remember safety first. Packs require an adult with each Cub Scout.

Greeting,

This year Pack 373 is joining BSA Popcorn sale fund-raiser.  Money earned in the fund-raiser will be used to provide additional Pack activities for our Scouts above the items noted in the Membership flyer you received. The amount of money earned by the Pack will decide what additional Pack activities and programs are added to Pack 373, also the cost of other activities.  A large part of the fundraising money goes to the Pack. This will be our only fund-raiser this year.

The second benefit of the fund-raiser is to teach salesmanship skills to our scouts (like: politeness, courage, the ability to politely accept no for an answer and the joy of making a sale) .

The popcorn makes a great Christmas Gift.

If you have read all the way to this line, thank you for your time, I know Sept. is a busy month for us with kids.
