Help is needed for the Popcorn Drive
From Jackie Mulhall, Popcorn Chairman:
Troop 5 Help Needed!
Troop 5 would like to try a new way to sell popcorn.
In addition to scouts selling popcorn individually, we
would like to set up a couple of days to sell popcorn
at the transfer station, Dinovas, Stop & Shop, etc.
This will offer scouts an opportunity to sell popcorn
in addition to selling door-to-door. Scouts who sell
at these events will get credit for a portion of the
popcorn sold that day. This approach has worked very
well for other troops in our area.
In order to offer this, we need some adult help. We
need people to volunteer to do the following:
- pick up our “show-n-sell” popcorn order on August
25. It should be about 10-15 cases of product, so it
should fit in most larger cars/vans/SUVs. We will
find out the pick-up location. This should involve
about 1 – 1 1/2 hours of effort that day.
- organize the show-n-sell dates. We could have one
person do them all or a couple of people each run one.
This would involve:
- getting the location/date
- getting scouts signed up to sell (2 at a time)
- bringing the product to sell/setting up
- closing down
If you are interesting in helping out, please contact
