Scouts are able to raise funds for uniforms, camping equipment, and other needs. Fundraising for these projects gives scouts a feeling of ownership and thriftiness because they had to work for the privilege.
Every unit wants a quality Scouting program. Popcorn offers your families a simple, safe,
effective, a risk-free fundraiser that helps teach your Scouts salesmanship, speaking skills,
confidence, and the value of earning his own way.

Practice Your Sales Pitch
"Hi, my name is (first name only!) and I'm earning my way to (goal for your funds)! Can I count on your support?
Myfavorite flavor is _ (pick one!). If you don't have cash, don't worry, we prefer credit card!"
Remember! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER ask customers to buy popcorn. If you cannot remember your sales pitch, say, "Willyou help me go to Camp?" Even if the customer says no, always say, "Thank you" and "Have a good day."

The Camp Card Sale is designed to help Scouts earn their own way to summer camp, a high adventure base, or Scout day camp. The Camp Card is a “discount card” that offers deals at area businesses to the purchaser. Participating units and their Scouts will earn at least 50% commission for each card they sell! A customer can purchase a Camp Card, but they’ll get far more than the purchase price. If a customer regularly visits any of the stores on the card and uses all of the discounts, they will be receiving all of their money back — plus they will help someone go to summer camp.
Focus on selling SCOUTING not the cards - this is to earn way to camp
Know the discounts available
Thank EVERYONE! Even those who do not purchase the card initially. Just buy saying "thank you for listening" will often cause them to change their mind!
Only ask a customer once
Use your "indoor voice" when speaking with a customer
Wear your uniform
Have a good attitude and positive outlook
Smile and be courteous
