Troop Popcorn 2023 Goal: $10,000
Personal Selling Goals & Incentives
- Each scout also will earn a % of sales into a Scout Account (40% of the Commision Received by the Troop).
- Use this to pay for Dues/Camp/Merit Badges!
- Typically 14% of every Sale would go into a Scout’s Account. This number is subject to change depending on the final Troop Sales Results.
-
Scouts signed up to open a Storefront location are expected to pick up popcorn from the Popcorn Kernel (Alex Alcalde) prior to the storefront starting. Likewise, Scouts closing a Storefront are expected to drop off remaining popcorn to the Popcorn Kernel.
New for 2023
- This is the first year that the Troop has siblings in the unit when selling Popcorn and using Scout Accounts.
- Each family unit will be treated differently as discussed by the Popcorn Kernel and the Parents as to what is in the best interest of the Scouts involved.
