The Popcorn Sales Guidebook you received as part of your Popcorn Sales Kit highlights the key

steps for success and should be reviewed carefully. This council-specific guidebook, along with

the Popcorn Sale Guidebook, provides everything you need to have a successful popcorn sale.

The popcorn sale is extremely important to funding your unit’s Scouting program. The sale is

equally as important to our council so that we may fund and maintain camps, provide service

to units, develop new programs and much more.

We thank you for your participation. Should you have any questions or suggestions as to how

we may better help you to succeed, please do not hesitate to contact us. We hope you have a

great sale and an even better year in Scouting!

Long Beach Area Council, BSA 2017

Plan & Host Your Unit Kick-off

Design your Popcorn Kick-off. Motivate your Scouts and parents.

• Keep it fun!

• Keep it moving!

• Keep it short!

Show parents and Scouts the benefits of selling popcorn.

• Lay out the exciting Scouting program you have planned.

• Tell families how they can eliminate out-of-pocket expenses by reaching their goal.

• Tell families how they can reach far away friends and family by selling online (trails-end.com).

• Explain that Scouts will have fun while learning to earn their own way.

Kick-off Agenda (40 minutes) Grand Opening (5 minutes)

Get ideas from the online video training at trails-end.com or the training DVD. Play music, dim the lights and have fun!

Explain the Scouting program and key dates (10

minutes)

Make sure your families understand the benefit of selling popcorn to pay for their Scouting program.

Train your Scouts (10 minutes)

Show the “6 Simple Steps to Selling Popcorn with Luke F.” video from sell.trails-end.com at your kick-off. Be sure every Scout creates his own account to sell online at scouts.trails-end.com.

Showcase your Scout Rewards (10 minutes)

Introduce your unit incentive program, starting with the pie in the face. Watch the “Scout Rewards” video.

Big Finish (5 minutes)

Have the top sellers from last year throw pies in the faces of the leaders. Send everyone home motivated to sell!

Long Beach Area Council, BSA 2017

Scout Rewards

There are two options for individual Scout Reward programs. The whole unit participates in one of these options and should make sure all Scouts and parents understand which reward program you are using. Be sure to pick the reward program that will be most motivating to your Scouts. This will help them set and achieve their personal sales goals and the unit’s sales goal.

OPTION #1: PARTICIPATE IN THE TRAIL’S END SCOUT REWARDS PROGRAM

• Scouts earn prizes based on setting goals and reaching levels of sales—see Take Order form for details.

• Scouts who set a goal for themselves, usually meet or surpass it. Encourage success and recognize Scout’s strengths!

• Prize orders must be ordered by October 23, 2017, and will ship when your account is paid in full

• Once the unit’s account is settled, prizes are shipped directly to the home address that you specify for the unit’s primary contact in the Trail’s End System when placing your order. If you did not enter a shipping address as part of your order then you did not do it correctly. Please contact your District Kernel or District Executive for help.

OPTION #2: CASH BONUS and/or PROVIDE YOUR OWN REWARDS

If your unit provides its own rewards program or awards commissions into each Scout’s account to fund exciting activities within that unit, the “Cash Bonus” option is for your unit. Here’s how this option works:

• Decide what will be most motivating and rewarding to your Scouts: cash or rewards.

• Unit earns an additional 5% commission added to their base commission to pay for the unit’s alternate rewards.

• If you are providing alternate rewards, set the rewards ahead of time so the boys can use them to set personal sales goals.

• If you choose individual credit/cash for Scouts, be sure to clearly explain in writing to the parents and families how the credit/cash allocations will be earned, allocated, and stored for each Scout, before the sale starts. Cash should be used toward Scouting activities within the unit, district, or council. The cash is issued in a lump sum to the unit and it is the unit’s responsibility to properly allocate the credit to the Scout’s account within the unit.

• Scouts will still qualify for the $600 bonus prizes and $800 top seller rewards.

Long Beach Area Council, BSA 2017

Types of Sales SHOW AND SELL

• Place your order online at http://Scouting.trails-end.com/TESales/ by August 21st at midnight.

• Scouts sell product at a location or event, like in front of a shopping center or after church.

• Get permission to sell on other people’s property. Coordi-nate with other units in your neighborhood to be sure you’re not at the same place at the same time. Share.

• Sign up to sell at prearranged times and locations on www.signupgenius.com. Sign up can be found under the email address [email protected], password: pop-corn2017.

• No Chocolate or open boxes of microwavable popcorn or collections can be returned, and 100% return on every-thing else no later than October 13th 4:30– 7:00 PM.

This is fun for boys to do together!

SHOW AND DELIVER Show & Deliver is a form of Show & Sell, but requires the help

of a vehicle and driver or wagon or cart. It works particularly

well in places where you don’t have the opportunity, or prefer

not, to return to deliver the product ordered. Many Scouts and

parents who have tried this newer method like it better than

Show & Sell! Give it a try!

• Fill the parent or other adult’s vehicle with a variety of Show & Sell products.

• Go door to door and ask if they’d like to support Scouting and buy some popcorn.

• If they want a product you have, they can buy it right then

TAKE ORDER • Scouts go door to door and take orders using pre-printed

popcorn order forms

• Orders are submitted online by the Unit Kernel at www.trails-end.com by October 16th at midnight. Be sure each Scout keeps a copy of his order list so he can deliver the popcorn when he gets it.

• Product is picked up by the unit

• Scouts deliver product to customers

TIP: Use your order forms from last year to ask repeat

customers!

CORPORATE –This works well for savvy Scouts! There are many ways to sell popcorn to businesses.

Some businesses will allow you to sell to their em-

ployees; some will let you post an order form in a

lobby or break room. The Scouts who have had the

biggest successes with corporate sales are when

popcorn is purchased as employee gifts. Here are a

few ideas but there are more.

• Have Scout attend a staff meeting where they can tell all the employees about popcorn.

• Set up a booth sale at the business at the lunch hour or when employees are leaving work.

• Ask the manager or the owner if he would like to purchase popcorn as a holiday gift for his employees.

• Don’t forget to have parents approach their work to allow their Scout to sell in one or more of the methods described.

This is a great opportunity for older Scouts to prac-

tice their presentation skills and show the business

community the maturity and motivation possessed

by older Scouts will bring to the not-so-future work

force.

ONLINE SALES Most Scouts have friends and family that do not live

locally. Online sales are a great way for those im-

portant people in a Scout’s life to support him.
