Popcorn

FAQs:

Q: What is a "show-and-sell"?

A: Show and sells are where we set up at a location such as Kroger, Lowes, Cabelas, etc. and directly sell popcorn to customers. Popcorn is available during this window.

Q: What are "take orders"?

A: Take orders are when you sell to family, friends, co-workers, etc. You collect the orders and money during the Take Order window, and popcorn is then available for pickup in early November.

Q: How much is the popcorn?

A: For specific prices, please refer to your order form. But generally they run from $10 up to $60.

Q: How does this help my Scout?

A: Scouts learn valuable skills during this time. For Show-and-sell opportunities, Scouts will learn interpersonal skills as they work with potential customers to talk about what we have to sell. Scouts will gain confidence in their speaking abilities and their ability to communicate with new people.
