Thank you for participating in the 2021 popcorn sale!

Much of the information for the sale is already available on the council popcorn page. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. Visit the page today and bookmark it in your browser for future reference.
Change for 2021

One change we are making in the sale this year is limiting the amount of paperwork and paper forms Unit Kernels will need to turn in. We are asking that all units use the Camp Masters Popcorn system and enter Scouts and track their sales in that online system. That way, we have access to the information we need without having to collect a paper form.

Why we are doing this:

To minimize errors when:

  • Information is “called in” – numbers get transposed, messages are misplaced.

  • Paper forms are submitted and get miss-filed – many people don’t keep a copy and if the form is misplaced, we have no records.

  • Paper forms are missing required information – causing extra work to track down the missing information

We are entering the Unit Kernels into the popcorn system now and will be sending out passwords in the next couple of weeks so that you can have more time to become familiar with the system.
Action Item #1:

Go to the council popcorn page and check the list of units signed up for the sale to make sure we have the correct Unit Kernel listed for your unit.

When your unit was signed up for the sale, one of the questions asked was:
If "Unit Popcorn Kernel" was selected, we have confirmed the unit is selling and entered that person into the Camp Masters popcorn system.

If any of the other positions were selected, we have confirmed the unit is selling, but we are waiting for the contact information for the Unit Popcorn Kernel.

Please check the information on our popcorn page and if the information is not correct, use the "Click Here to Register" button and send us the correct information.

Action Item #2:

RSVP for one of the Key Leader Briefings

August 3 in Bismarck, August 10 in Fargo or August 12 in Grand Forks
(see details on the council popcorn website about requirements
for qualifying for the 2% extra commission)

We encourage in-person participation in the Key Leader Briefings if possible.

Packets of sales information will be distributed and there will be a delay in getting the packet to you if you don't attend in person. Some districts will have "watch" parties closer to where you live and will have the packets there for units to pick up.

If you can't attend in person, we will be broadcasting the briefings as webinars. You can sign up now and get the connection information and reminders emailed to you. Please make arrangements with your District Popcorn Kernel to get the sales packet.
