I saw a lot of Scouts out and about this weekend, selling popcorn!  People love Trail’s End Popcorn and they love Cub Scouts!

Remember to  practice safe-selling.  Here’s some important information:

Popcorn Safety Tips

Safety First 
* Scouts should always work in pairs, an adult should accompany sellers.

* Always walk on the sidewalk and driveway, not through the yard or in the street.

* Do not carry large amounts of cash. Checks can be made to Cub pack 502

* Never enter anyone’s house without your parent!

* Sell during daylight hours.

General
Be courteous and polite.  Smile and introduce yourself. Tell them why you’re there and why you’re selling popcorn!

 Wear your Scout uniform.  This provides instant credibility since it is highly recognizable.  Most people have a positive response to a Scout in uniform and will be supportive. (and keeps you with scout insurance)

 Be informed.  Know the various products sold, when it will be delivered and how it benefits Scouts.

 When selling – ask if someone would like to support Scouting, not if they would like to buy popcorn.  We are “selling” the Scouting program.

 Remember to THANK THEM for their purchase, or THANK THEM for their time if they don’t want to buy anything.
