Hello Kernels!
We are heading into the 2024 popcorn sale full steam! Below are some hot topic reminders for this week!
- Scout Sale Kits – these materials were passed out at your District Membership/Popcorn Hype parties. If you were unable to attend, please reach out to your District Popcorn Team to connect to get the materials you need. Not sure who your District Popcorn team is? Not to worry, here is the link to their contact information: https://baylakesbsa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/2024-Popcorn-Kernels-Staff-Contacts-1.pdf. As soon as your Scouts receive their sales forms, they are welcome to start selling. Online sales are also open and ready for use!
- Show and Sell Ordering – Order is due Sunday, September 1st by 11:59pm – The show and sell order is open and ready to take your orders on the Pecatonica River System. A couple reminders for you before you place your order:
- We suggest you order 80% of what your total sale was in 2023 as a starting point for your 2024 order. If you need help with putting an order together, check out the Suggested Order for Show and Sell workbook on the popcorn webpage.
- If you plan on ordering more than 80% of your total 2023 order, please communicate with me before doing so.
- If you need a reminder on how to enter your Show and Sell order, watch this tutorial: Training Video Links (pecatonicariverpopcorn.com)
- Are you a brand-new unit this year selling popcorn?? AWESOME and welcome to the sale! Don’t forget you get $500 in free product to sell. You do not need to order this product; it will be at Show and Sell pick up for you.
