POPCORN

Tracie Lenhart, Popcorn Kernel



The 2010 Scout Popcorn Sale
 

     Tillikum District increased their total Popcorn sales over last year by 10.6%, to $208,495. You too can conduct one good fund raiser and earn all the money your unit will need to operate your 2010-2011 program.   Don’t waste your energy conducting lots of smaller sales that wear out your Scouts and their families.  Attend the Council and/or District Kickoff to get all the information and materials you need to be successful with our single, council-sponsored sale. 

    Since the online popcorn sale is year-round, commissions will be processed at the end of each quarter and the credit goes into the unit account. In December will process on about the 15th so we can close out the year’s books on time. 

    If the unit needs a check drawn on their Scout Trading Post account, we can do that for them any time during the year.
