It's your Popcorn Kernel reminding you that our popcorn sale is
about to Kick off! There are a lot of exciting changes to the Popcorn
Program happening this year and I can't wait to share them all with you
at next weekends Pack meeting. However, before
that can happen I need your help. If you haven't already done so please
visit the trails.end website to register your scout/make an account. Link: https://www.trails-end.com/login
Please do this even if your child does not plan on selling
popcorn. The season is about 6 weeks and they may change their mind.
This will be the way I can communicate best with everyone. Instead of a
sign up genius, we now have the ability to send
store front selling location spots through the trails end website and
your child needs to be registered on the Trails End Site in order to be
able to sign up for a slot to sell at a store front. I currently only
have 10 registered scouts from pack 33. If you
made an account last year, your sign in is still the same, but please
log on to make sure that all of your information is current.
If you are trying to register your scout for the first time you will need to know:
Our Council: Mayflower Council District: HeadWaters Unit: Pack 3033 Den # (insert your child's den #) if you can't remember check their uniform it's a patch on there somewhere Popcorn Parents Information
Thank you for supporting your child in supporting our Pack through
popcorn sales! If you attended last nights meeting you heard all of this
there but know that the popcorn trackers and goal sheets are also
attached here if your child did not come home
with one last night.
Important Dates:
September 7-October 22 : Popcorn selling period for storefront, Wagon Sales and take home orders
Sunday November 17th: Popcorn pick up at 5 Sandra Pond Road for take home orders
Steps you need to do to participate in Popcorn sales:
2)Every scout NEEDS a trails end account. This is the same log in
information you used in previous years. If you need your username and
email you used with the account please let me know. Otherwise if you are
new please create an account. Regardless if
you child chooses to sell using the app or paper form, they need an
online account in order to receive credit for council awards.
2) Please download the Trails End App. This is a terrific website
that has made selling popcorn sooo much easier and also allows us to
accept credit cards. Trails end will pay all credit card fees. This
information has increased sales and turn no thanks
you into sales. At table storefront sales, our pack has square swipe
card readers for you to use to take credit cards, but at anytime you
have the option of manually entering in a credit card to complete a
sale. CASH sales are also recorded using the app.
It also helps me track your child's sales as well as online orders,
take home orders and store front sales as they are happening so I know
if I need to bring more product for a shift. It is very easy to use and
there are lots of training videos. that walk
you through the app. I'm also happy to help answer any questions. The
app will really make the sale a lot easier.
3) look for your paper order form in the mail today, or tomorrow.
Scouts can still do traditional paper take home sales that way as well
Prizes:
This year our council is swapping out traditional in hand prizes
for amazon gift cards. There is a still a tiered prize level system. You
will see in the paper order form, there are different levels. When you
reach a level of sales, it denotes what value
of amazon gift card they will send your scout. What they have done is
researched already what kinds of prizes a scout could purchase with the
corresponding amount. But they are not limited to that. the gift card
will come directly to you and you will be purchasing
for your child. So let them play around on amazon and set a goal for
what they want to earn.
In addition to council prizes, Pack 33 is offering the follow in pack prizes:
Pie in the Face: The following scouts will be able to choose to throw a pie in the face of their Den Leader or the scout master:
Top 3 sellers in the Pack

Glow Party: The den with the highest amount of sales will get a glow party
