Welcome Unit Popcorn Kernels! Thank you for taking on this incredibly important role within your Unit! We hope you find the pages of this Unit Leader Kernel Guide filled with the tools and information you need to help your Unit have the most successful Popcorn Season yet! In 2016, the W. D. Boyce Council sold almost $1,200,000 during the Popcorn Season; with an average of 35% commissions going directly back to Scouting Units! We achieved $7,163 average Popcorn sale per Unit in 2016 and averaged over $400 in sales per Scout! The W. D. Boyce Council understands that a successful and strong 2017 Popcorn Season is incredibly important to you and your Unit. Additionally, we know that a successful Popcorn Season means parents not paying for: Campouts/Trips Advancements Blue and Gold Court of Honor Books and Scouting Materials Summer Camp & Adventure Camp, and more! We listened to your suggestions from the 2016 Popcorn Season and we ve met with and talked with several 2016 Unit Popcorn Kernels. In response, we have made several changes to this year s Popcorn Program including: NEW prizes, NEW products, NEW online Popcorn system, NEW Popcorn Company Pecatonica River, and many more NEW ideas to help support your Unit sale! Good luck on a successful 2017 Popcorn Season; and thank you for supporting the Scouting program through Unit Popcorn Sales. If there is anything we can do to help make your sale the biggest and best sale your Unit has ever had, please do not hesitate to contact us! Happy Popping, W. D.

18 POPCORN SEASON Sales Methods Show-n-Sell (See page 18) Set up a display table with Popcorn product, Unit signs / banners, Order forms and Popcorn product pricing at a local business, place of worship, or town festival. Have 2-3 Scouts with Scout Parents volunteer to work the table (i.e. asking people to support Scouting via a Popcorn purchase or Military donation). 1. Select a location(s) and date(s)/time(s). Locations with high traffic / visibility work best. 2. Secure the date(s)/time(s) with the location(s) and your Unit calendar. 3. Place a Show-n- Sell Popcorn Order by August 28 th, 2017. 4. Create a signup sheet (i.e. Signup Genius) for Scouts and Scout Parents to volunteer for shifts. Two hours shifts with 2-3 Scouts typically works best. 5. Display Unit banners or signs showing photos of Unit activities. 6. Scouts should wear uniforms and interact with people as they approach the table using the script. Remember to say, Thank you! Show-n- Deliver (See page 19) In uniform, Scouts visit their local neighborhood walking door-to-door with their wagon of Popcorn product and Order Form. They knock on the door and deliver their script asking for the neighbor to support Scouting via a Popcorn purchase or Military donation. *This is very similar to Take Order; however, this method enables ordering and delivery in one visit, rather two visits. 1. Place a Show-n- Sell Popcorn Order by August 28 th, 2017. 2. Check-out Popcorn to Scouts. A check-out system like that of a library with books, works best. 3. Design a Neighborhood Visit plan (i.e. what path will you walk) as a Unit, small groups of Scouts, or as individual Scout family. 4. Have a Neighborhood Blitz Day. Provide walking route maps and have Scout Parents participate with Popcorn inventory vehicles on the same routes. 5. Track your sales, using a Popcorn Order Form. Take Order In uniform, Scouts visit their local neighborhood walking door-to- door with just their Order Form. They knock on the door and deliver their script asking for the neighbor to support Scouting via a Popcorn purchase or Military donation. *This is very similar to Show-n- Deliver; however, with this method two visits are needed one for ordering and one for delivery. 1. Design a Neighborhood Visit plan (i.e. what path will you walk) as a Unit, small groups of Scouts, or as individual Scout family. 2. Have a Neighborhood Blitz Day. Provide walking route maps to Scouts and Scout Parents. 3. Place a Take Order Popcorn Order by October 30 th, 2017. 4. Deliver Popcorn AFTER Take Order pickup (Take Order Distribution = November 10-11, 2017). Online Sales Scouts create an online Popcorn Profile Page via the Pecatonica River website www.myprpopcorn.com. Scouts can send their page to family and friends to gain their support using email and social media. See page 26 for more details on how to set up your account and get started.
