• What am I selling?  Yes, you are selling popcorn products, but the real sale here is promoting and gaining support for BOY SCOUTS.  Scouting is a wonderful organization.  You are asking the support from your neighbors, family, and friends to give to Boy Scouts by purchasing these products.
• How do I sell Popcorn?  Either door-to-door, online sales, through email, or have your parents bring the order form to work.
• Do I collect the money at the point of sale or when I make the delivery?  Either, however, at the point of sale means you don't have to chase after the customer for the money if they don't have money when you are deliverying the product.
• What kind of payment should I collect?  Cash or check.  Make sure you record payment and give a receipt.
• What if I sell a Military Donation of popcorn?  Collect the money, and immediately give a completed donation receipt to your customer, giving them thanks for supporting our uniformed servicemen and women of our nation.
• If I collect checks as payment, who does the customer make the check out to?  Have the check made out to "BSA Troop 29 NY".
• When do I turn in the money?  Turn in both completed order form with money to Mrs. Schauble during one of the troop meetings, but no later than October 30, 2013.  Make sure you make a copy of the order form for yourself.
• Why should I sell popcorn?  The commissions earned from selling popcorn products goes directly towards all the Troop 29 Boy Scouts and offsets many costs associated with supplies, equipment, trips, and overnight activities.  The more we all sell, the less we need to pay for these and so many other activities.  As an added bonus, you gain confidence speaking with the public about this wonderful community-oriented  organization!
  

  

The best way to sell plenty of delicious popcorn is to prepare, promote and pair up with another scout or a parent for door-to-door sales.  Remember, there's safety in numbers!
