Selling popcorn gives our Scouts a chance to earn part of their way to Scouting events, and it helps to fund Mohegan Council's operations, which supports us in delivering the program. This year's sale features some great prizes and incentives. Each Scout can apply 50% of the pack commission on his sales toward calendar year 2015 pack events, including summer camp (we suggest saving it for that). The pack commission will be 20-30% of the sale amount, depending on how much we sell.
Learning to knock on a door, look someone in the eye, and ask him/her to support Scouting is a great way to build a Scout's confidence.
