2007 Drawings for "Fill It Up" Forms

Scouts, check this out!  You have a chance to win a Mitchell Outdoor Fishing Kit, a pair of Motorola GMRS two-way radios, a Bushnell Talking Telescope or a Magellan Explorist 200 Handheld GPS by participating in this year's popcorn sale.  All you have to do is fill up a Take Order sheet (25 sales) and fax or deliver a copy to the council service center at the end of the sale.  We'll hold a drawing from all "Filled Up Forms" we receive and the winners will receive one of the great prizes mentioned above.

• How to Sell 25 Items in Just One Week -- a simple, straightforward plan to fill up a form in a week.

And don't forget, besides having a chance to win one of these great prizes, you'll also be earning some BIG money for your unit and your Scouting program.   The average "Filled Up Form" amounts to almost $375.00 in sales.  That means (based on 2006 averages in this council) you'll earn about $124.00 for your unit for every form you fill up.  That makes a BIG difference!

Remember, this is for the Take Order sale only so get ready, work on your "sales pitch" and go out and hit the streets!  On average 7 of 10 people who are asked to buy popcorn from a Scout WILL buy so it won't take you very long to "Fill It Up!"

Exciting Prizes

There are exciting prizes for Scouts selling popcorn! Complete prize brochures and more information will be mailed to all registered Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts in August.  Prizes are also listed on the back of your order form. Pick the prize you want to earn and start selling today!

Special National Prizes

If you sell $1,500 or more of popcorn you can pick your own prize from special gift cards. Select from top brands and leading retailers. If you are among the top sellers in the nation you can earn even BIGGER prizes with gift cards from
ScoutStuff.org, Coleman and Wal*Mart. AND you can earn ADDITIONAL scholarship money.

Earn a Trail's End scholarship
Talk to your Pack or Troop Leader about qualifying for the Trail's End Scholarship Program. It's open to any Scout who sells popcorn and who meets the qualifying criteria. A Scout can earn 6% of his popcorn sale total each year and let it earn interest until he is ready to use it for his post-high school education. An application form for the Trail's End Scholarship can be downloaded here.

Scouts Earn Their Way--AND Badges, too!

Scouts who participate in the annual Boy Scout Popcorn Sale not only prove that they have what it takes to earn their own way and pay for their own Scouting program, but can earn badges, too.  By selling popcorn, Scouts can complete a number of requirements for rank badges, Webelos Activity pins, Boy Scout merit badges and more.
