Pumped for Popcorn

Each year the popcorn sale helps to fuel the Scouting program throughout our communities. While this year's popcorn sale looks a little different, people are excited to see Scouts in action. Many families have shared that nearly everyone they ask is making a purchase! Beyond earning prizes and funding their adventure, Scouts also learn valuable skills by selling. Communication, salesmanship, and goal-setting are just a few of these important life skills, and they also connect to advancement opportunities. Check out the Scouting Ahead guidebook for more on which specific advancements can be achieved through the sale.

Many Scouts are able to pay for their entire experience by achieving their sales goal including camp, registration, and new uniform parts. Plus they can earn great prizes including a bonus $20 Amazon e-Gift Card! Any Scout who sells $350 or more in sales by Monday, October 5th is guaranteed to receive a this bonus prize. Simply submit copies of your order form at www.buckeyecouncil.org/AllOutBlitz.

Scout Executive Minute

The annual popcorn sale provides an excellent opportunity for scouts and units to pay for an entire year of exciting adventures. It also gives youth the chance to build confidence as they go door to door and share their scouting story with friends and neighbors.

In addition to the funds earned by scouts and units, the popcorn sale provides funding to the Buckeye Council to improve and maintain our camp facilities, equip families with tools to continue scouting at home, and create exciting activities like the HomeScouting Adventure Club, Family Adventure Camp and Pumpkin Glow. Thank you for your support of Scouting through participating in this important part of the program!
