It’s time for our annual popcorn sales! Popcorn sales are a great way to support Pack 115. The funds we raise help with membership costs and pack activities throughout the year.
It also helps Scouts build confidence and practice their communication skills. Plus, Scouts can earn gift cards through their sales!
This is how we record sales, accept credit card payments, and sign up for storefront shifts.
If you downloaded the app last year, you should be able to use the same login credentials, but you will need to update the app when prompted.
If you are new to popcorn sales, this guide can help with downloading and navigating the Trails End app.
If you’re asked for a unit code in the app, please use MEJZ7.
If you have more than one scout, you can create multiple accounts with the same email address; they just need separate login names.
Volunteer for an in-person storefront shift. This is where Scouts sell popcorn products in front of local businesses. You can view and sign up for shifts in the Trails End app. If you know of a good location for a storefront and want to coordinate a storefront sale, let us know!
Special note: Open storefront shift hours are already available at top selling locations. Please ensure you sign up early to get access to priority storefronts that are close.
Host a wagon sale. We bring you a set list of popcorn products to sell around your neighborhood or ask family at your next event. If you’d like a wagon, text Bill at 216.407.9719 or David at 740.972.6130.
If you’re new to these sales, we can walk you through the process when you pick up the inventory. Wagon sales are also fun for a den or a handful of scouts to do together!
Send out your digital storefront link so people can order directly from Trails End. In the app you will find a custom link your Scout can send to friends and family or share on social media. If the customer chooses no shipping, we will get the product to you so you can distribute it. There is an option for shipping for out-of-town customers.
All scouts participating will receive a patch!
Through Trails-End:
Amazon gift cards will be earned based on points which are earned based off of the type of sale and the payment method. You earn 1.25 points per dollar for credit/debit sales, 1 point per dollar for online/online direct sales, and 1 point for cash sales.
Top 3 and over $600 sellers will be recognized by the Pack with awards
Any family that sells over $600 in popcorn will get a $50 rebate on membership fees
The #1 seller will get to throw a pie in the Cubmaster’s Face.
You can get paper order forms from Bill Ahern and David Cullison or your Den leader to use to show the product line and to mark down orders if you are not using the Trails End App. IMPORTANT TO KNOW--- do not duplicate your orders when you turn in your sales in October. It is recommended to log all your “take orders for delivery” as wagon sales with no product delivered in the App if you are using it and enter anything you have on paper order forms the same way if you are using the App. Then you will not need to turn in a paper order form and it reduces the risk of over- ordering something
Contact Bill Ahern and David Cullison ( popcorn@lakewoodpack115.org) to arrange to pick up popcorn and Maple syrup products to sell door to door. You can keep the products for 24 hours then you need to turn in the remaining inventory and money for what you sold to Chris. You can take more out again when you are ready to sell again. This ensures we don’t have unsold products left over and that everyone has an opportunity to sell products directly without take orders.
Using the Trails-End app, you can take orders through Wagon sales which is the same as if you were using the paper form. You need to make sure you have the customer’s name, phone number and address entered so you can deliver the product later.
On-line Orders Can be taken online through www.trails-end.com or by selecting Online Direct option for sales through the app. These will be delivered directly to the customer and there is a delivery charge.
Be sure to contact Bill Ahern and David Cullison, as they'd be happy to chat more and address any questions you have.
