Greetings Scouters!
My name is David Hardy and I am the Erie Shores Council Popcorn Kernel for 2020. Welcome to this year’s Pecatonica River
Popcorn Sale fundraiser! For those of you who are new to the Popcorn Sale, rest assured that the Popcorn Committee will
do all that we can to help you have a positive popcorn experience. For those who have been involved in the past, welcome
back. Your knowledge and experience are terrific assets to this program. Thank you to everyone for your time, energy, and
service!
This is my 23rd year in Scout fundraising, the past 10 years as the Wood District Popcorn Kernel. Financially speaking, the
Popcorn Sale provides funding for program materials, activities, and other adventures that our Scouts might not otherwise
experience. While the financial aspect of the fundraiser is vital to each unit, it is not the only important part of the program.
Often overlooked benefits include improved self-confidence; increased visibility and interaction with the community; and a
sense of ownership within the unit.
Every Scout is a unique individual. Some quickly become very comfortable with this fundraiser, while others tend to be a
little shy. Selling popcorn is a great way to encourage the more bashful Scouts out of their shell just a little bit. A Scout is
brave, and sometimes it takes courage to approach a stranger and ask them to support Scouting through the Popcorn Sale.
I’d like to say that everyone you approach will be willing to support Scouting, but this is not always the case. A Scout is
friendly, courteous, and cheerful even when they face disappointment. This might be the toughest part of the whole program,
but your Scout’s character is developing when he succeeds AND when he fails.
A Scout is thrifty. A Scout works to pay his own way, and by participating in the Popcorn Sale your Scout is doing just that. A
Cub Scout pack decided it was time to replace their old wooden Pinewood Derby track with a new aluminum one. The pack
challenged the Cubs to reach that goal, and you should have seen how proud they were when THEIR new track was delivered!
I would encourage you to set a specific goal for your unit as well. It might be new equipment or a special event. Whatever
works best for your unit, the Scouts will appreciate it more because they earned it.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone on the Erie Shores Popcorn Committee, the Council advisors,
and all of the parents and volunteers who are going to be working together to make this year’s sale a success. I wish you all
the best in your unit Popcorn Sales, and remember, support for your sale is always available both at the Council and District
levels.
Yours in Scouting,
David D. Hardy

BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL SALE1. Discuss why your Scouts sell Popcorn – Scouts
sell popcorn to fund their adventures in
Scouting! Conduct youth/adult program
planning and Ideal Year of Scouting Planning
Exercise with your unit.
2. Set a Unit and Per Scout Sales Goal – Utilize the
Program Planner and set unit and Scout sales
goals. Units who set a goal sell almost twice as
much. (www.erieshorescouncil.org/popcorn)
3. Attend Training – Attend your District Popcorn
Kickoff.
4. Formulate a Sales Plan – Talk with your unit
leadership and determine how you’d like to sell.
5. Hold a FUN and EXCITING Unit Kick-off for Your
Families – The meeting should explain the
Popcorn Sale and communicate sales
expectations to your parents. Build excitement
with the Scouts through the prize and incentives
program.
6. Order & Pick-Up Popcorn – Order the initial
popcorn order for Show & Sell/Deliver by
September 2, 2020. You will have the ability to
order weekly throughout the sale. You can
return product at the weekly pickups and/or, up
to 25% of your total product order on the return
deadline of November 5, 2020.
7. Manage Popcorn Inventory – Develop a plan to
track the inventory your unit has in stock. Keep
product in the hands of your Scouts to keep
them selling throughout the sale. The goal is to
not run out of product and to have little to no
product left over to return at the end.
8. Safety Plan – Create a safety plan for Scouts and
families. Communicate the plan to your families.
9. SELL, SELL, SELL – Keep Scouts motivated! Do
one fundraiser per year and do it well! Some
ideas to keep Scouts motivated: arrange
den/patrol competitions, continuously share
what prizes and incentives are available at each
sales level, remind parents about how the
popcorn sale pays for their program, and give
regular updates on your unit’s progress towards
your sales goal.
10. Collect Payments from Families – Develop a plan
to collect payments from your Scout families.
Utilize Scout collection envelopes and train
Scouts to collect fees. Set unit due dates prior to
council payment dates so you have time to
process before your payment is due.
11. Order Prizes and Incentives for Scouts –
Recognize your Scouts for their hard work with
the great prizes and incentives offered through
the Popcorn Sale. Be sure to place your prize
order by November 14.
12. Pay Your Popcorn Bill – Make payments on your
popcorn bill throughout the sale. The first
payment is due October 21, 2020. Your final
payment must be received by December 10,
2020. Check your invoice at any time throughout
the sale at www.prpopcorn.com.
13. Spend Your Earnings! – Congratulations! You’ve
followed your plan and raised what your unit
needed to support their program. Now recognize
your Scouts by providing a fantastic Scouting
program in 2020 – 2021.
14. Great job and happy Scouting!

OR

SALES METHODS
Scouts can participate in the Popcorn Sale using several methods. Whatever methods your Scouts choose, you
have the brand recognition of Scouting to help sell product and support the unit’s year-round programs. Detailed
descriptions of each method are listed on the following pages.
Show & Sell (Pg. 12)
Coordinate booths in high foot traffic locations
throughout your community. Get permission to sell
in front of a retail store, local business or festival. Set
up a display with products for people to purchase as
they walk by.
Show & Deliver (Pg. 13)
Scouts check out popcorn from their Unit Kernel and
go door-to-door with product in hand. The customer
can select the products they wish to buy, the product
is delivered, and the money is collected right then
and there.
Take Order (Pg. 13)
Scouts go door-to-door or contact family and friends
using the Take Order form. Customers choose the
product(s) they wish to buy and writes the order on
the form. Money is collected when the product is
delivered to the customer a few weeks later.
Military Donations (Pg. 13)
Military Donations is a way for consumers to support
our military men and women by sending them a
popcorn care package. The donation is shipped
directly from Pecatonica River Popcorn at the end of
the Popcorn Sale.
Online Sales (Pg. 14)
Scouts sell to out-of-town family and friends.
Customers will order the products online and pay
with a credit card at www.prpopcornstore.com. The
Scout’s Seller ID will need to be entered at the time
of purchase, so sales are credited to the Scout.
Pecatonica will ship the products directly to the
customer.
Corporate Sales (Pg. 14)
Corporate Sales are a great way to add to your unit
sales. Preparing Scouts to deliver a message to
neighboring businesses in your community can
quickly help your unit reach its goal.
12
SHOW & SELL
Show & Sell is a great way to introduce new and younger Scouts to the Popcorn Sale. They can sell with their
buddy and build confidence for the Take Order sale while heightening Scouting awareness.

prize/bonus prize totals.
3. Online Sales from November 5 - December 10, 2020, will not count towards prizes, but will still be
awarded to units and commissions applied towards balances due.
CORPORATE SALES Corporate Sales are a great way to add to your unit sales. Prepare your Scouts to deliver a message to neighboring
businesses in your community as another way to help your unit reach its goal.
WAYS A LOCAL BUSINESS CAN BE INVOLVED:
1. CUSTOMER “THANK YOU GIFTS” – Example: 100 tins of Mud Puddles, use 1 per customer to say “Thanks!”
2. EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION – At the holidays, 50 tins of Cheese to “Thank” employees for their dedication.
3. MATCHING MILITARY SALES – Company matches a Scout’s Sales with military donations.
4. EMPLOYEE BREAKROOM – Place an order form in the breakroom.
5. SMALL BUSINESS RETAIL SPACE – Set up a small display of popcorn to sell.
STEPS TO SUCCESS:
1. PROSPECTING – Create a list of nearby businesses, call, or stop in person to set an appointment. (You may
be told to come back later but be prepared to make your sale on the spot).
2. MAKE THE ASK – If you don’t ask, you will not receive. Be specific about what the business can do to
support your Scouting program.
3. FOLLOW UP – Please be polite if you are told “No Thanks,” but keep trying until you get a final
answer. Sometimes business decisions can take weeks.
