Popcorn Sale 2015 Dear Unit Leader,

We have had a fantastic excitement for the start of the 2015 Popcorn

Sale. Here are a few things to make sure your units sale is a success.

Have a dynamite Unit Kick-Off and get the sale off right. Make it a

party, use unit incitives to help your scouts get excited about the

sale. Make it a party, have goals in mind and let your scouts know

what fun they will have if they reach the goal. Encourage parents to

get in on the sale as well.

The different approaches to the Popcorn Sale:
