Oct, 2006 Popcorn Sale Coming up!  If you're seeing friends & family over the next month, get an idea of how much and what kind of popcorn they'll need. 

Webelos!  We have a program where Webelos can sell popcorn through the troop to build up their "camping account" with the troop to pay for summer camp next year!  Ask your Cubmaster if you can sell through the troop "instead of" or "in addition to" your Pack's popcorn sale.   You can do "Show & Sell" or "Take Order"  Note that we don't do the "prizes" and the troop doesn't keep any of the funds for its own use - every cent goes to the scout camping accounts - that means that 35% or more of your sales goes to paying for your Boy Scout camping and outings!
