Popcorn Order sheets and money for popcorn are due this week. Due to the number of scouts, we are asking that if your scout is done with door-to-door sales then you bring your popcorn sheets and money to the Den meeting tomorrow night. We will be at the front desk collecting and entering popcorn sales and collecting money.
If your scout is still selling, please complete your sales and bring the sales sheets to the October Pack meeting (FALL PICNIC) on Sunday, October 22, 2017.
At time of collection you will need:
- Popcorn sales sheet (with totals at the bottom filled in),
- One check (if possible) or cash – total which matches the popcorn sales
- Prizes selected.
We ask that you have that you turn in just one check for the total amount of your sons sales. If you have multiple checks, please make sure that you have your sons name and den number in the memo section. If you have cash, please have the cash in an envelope with your son’s first and last name, den number and $ amount written on the outside of the envelope. All checks must be made payable to: PACK 843.
Prize selections: The turn-in process will go faster if your son already has his prizes listed. If you have an envelope with your order, write your prize selection on the envelope.
If you participated in the Show-n-Sell opportunities this fall then you should receive an email giving you your son’s hours and an estimated amount earned from the show-n-sells. You will need to add the sales amount provided in the email to your door-to-door sales and any online sales in order to get your total sale amount.
Reminder:
- If your sales (show-n-sell, door-to-door sales, and online sales) total at least $350, then your dues are covered for next year. If you sold over $350.00, the scout profit amount from sales over $350 will go into your son’s scout account.
- If your sales total sale is $700 or more then he will be able to throw a pie at our Cubmaster.
- If your sales are $750 you will receive an invite to a private showing of the new Star Wars movie.
- As an added bonus, we have a DRONE to give away at the Fall Picnic. There are several ways to earn a ticket for the drawing:
- Each hour your Scout worked a show-n-sell, he will earn 1 ticket
- Each Penguin tin sold from door-to-door sales, he will earn 1 ticket
- Each Steeler tin sold from door-to-door sales, he will earn 1 ticket
- If the sold any item from online sales, they will earn 1 ticket.
- Popcorn PICK-UP for door-to-door sales is Saturday, November 17th (time and location will be given in early November). You MUST pick-up you popcorn during the pick-up time or make arrangements for someone to pick-up your popcorn for you.
If you will not be at the Pack meeting on Sunday, October 22, you MUST bring your Popcorn sales sheets, payment check made out to Pack 843, and prize selections to the Next Den Meeting (Wednesday, October 18, 2017).
Several people have asked us how to calculate sales and dues. We have put together 2 examples to explain how the calculation works. Click on this link to see examples: popcorn-sales-examples
