That includes two (2) deep leadership and two (2) scouts. All Scouts participating at a popcorn booth, or walking a neighborhood to sell popcorn will wear their Class A uniform. It is recommended that at least one adult volunteer of the two deep leadership also be in Class A uniform. The Scout and/or adult volunteer will not participate in the act of panhandling (i.e., directly asking for the donation of money instead of selling popcorn). There will be no more than four (4) scouts per shift at any given popcorn booth. All storefront popcorn booths will be setup in the area designated by the store manager. The Scouts will not ambush or crowd customers as they come in and out of the store. The boys will stay 8 10 feet away from the door or at a distance as designated by the store manager. If by chance two scout units show up to the same storefront to sell popcorn, the adult volunteers will work out the issue without involving the store manager. No more than one unit per storefront. All Scouts and adult volunteers will use clean and kind language. There shall be no profanity, put-downs or verbal taunting, as this is unacceptable. 18 3
