Cub Scout Popcorn Sales at the store!

Popcorn Sales at the store!

Well, we did our first popcorn sales at the store. You know the ones. The kids have a table set up and ask every single person who walks in if they want to buy popcorn or donate. Just like with the girl scout cookies!

Have to say, with tigers its a little hard. They get bored so easily! My son was trying to climb the walls, play tag with the other tiger and generally really hated standing still. I even made him do push ups because he wasn't listening. Then he asked if he could do more because he was bored! Then he started picking up the trash around the area.

 I will say he made 2 really good sales. One was $25 from a former Girl Scout and one was a former boy scout for $55. My son offered to help them bring their new popcorn to the car for them. They thought it was so sweet and my son was just super happy to walk around. 

Please do NOT tape your business cards onto the popcorn. We had 1 person do that in 2015. It was embarrassing and has nothing to do with scouts.

Go Tigers!
By the way: my son made $75 in sales that day!

Update- my son is now working towards his bear rank. We sold popcorn at Lowes and Sams this year and the responses were awesome. We sold over $5,000 in like 3 weekends. So location is important! Also, reading back..all that hard work for $75. Wow. Now when we sale, its like each kid sales between $350- $450 in 3 hours.
We usually have to scouts working each shift and it seems to work better. Good luck!
