Volunteer to Help Get Popcorn Orders Assembled and Pickup Your Popcorn Early

Prior to the distribution on Friday the 3rd, we'll be assembling all of the unit orders to get them ready for pickup. Many hands make light work and we could use your help. The more volunteers we have the faster this process goes. Plus, as a thank you, we'll let you take your units order home with you when we finish sorting so that you don't have to pickup your order later.

Popcorn Prep and Kickoff!

In Need of Additional Popcorn Supplies?

1.   UNIT KICKOFF: Units who have a kickoff and get their Scouts excited are likely to sell almost twice as much popcorn as those who don't have a kickoff. The Popcorn Kickoff sets the tone for your entire Popcorn Sale. Motivated Scouts and, more importantly, motivated parents are the key to a successful sale. Have fun! Give away prizes and more.

Downloads: 

More flyers at www.danbeard.org/popcorn-resources/. Need us to print copies for your kickoff? Submit a free order online.

2.   HAVE SOME FUN: Create some fun Unit adventures or dollar store prizes for your Scouts to win. Create an incentive for everyone to participate in popcorn through a pizza party or ice cream social.

3.   STOREFRONT SALE: Schedule a storefront sale at local community retailers.  Login to start scheduling on your kernel dashboard.
Cub Scout Computer Virtual Scouting
Getting Ready in the App/Dashboard

A few helpful tips:
1) Use your leader dashboard to send an invite to Scout families rather than having parents sign-up on their own. This will ensure Scouts get linked directly to your unit.

2) Look over your Scout tracking roster on your Unit Dashboard. Do you notice a Scout missing? They might accidentally be connected to the Troop.

3) If you have a Scout in the wrong unit, notify us at popcorn@danbeard.org and/or Trail's End at support@trails-end.com and we'll help get the Scout moved to the proper unit.

Note: You may also want to remind parents of your exact unit #, especially in Packs. Remember, locally we have the #3 as a pre-identifier in front of Pack numbers. So Pack 1 lists as 3001 and Pack 438 lists as Pack 3438.
