Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is “Take Order”?
The “Take Order” method is just like it sounds. The Scout goes door to door with a Take Order Form (or Mom and Dad take order forms to work). The Customer writes his/her order on the form. The Scout delivers the popcorn in November and collects the money from the Customer
.

Show and Deliver (Starter Kit):
The Scouts were given an allotted amount of popcorn at the beginning of the sale to have product on-hand as they took orders. This is also referred to as the “Show-n-Deliver” method. Some customers may prefer to receive their order now instead of waiting until late November. This will allow the Scout to complete the sale on the spot. The customer receives the order and the Scout receives payment so there is no need to return. 

For Pack 231, this year’s Starter Kit is just over 1/2 ($169) of the Scout’s $350 goal and will consist of: 1 Gourmet Caramel Corn Tin, 1 Chocolatey Caramel Crunch Tin, 3 Unbelievable Butter Microwave Popcorn, 2 Butter Light Microwave Popcorn, 1 Kettle Corn Microwave Popcorn, and 5 Caramel Corn w/Peanuts Tins.

When is Money Due?
Money from the Starter Kit sales (and any unsold popcorn) needs to be turned in by the end of the popcorn sale (Oct. 17). No money is due when the Scout first receives his Starter Kit popcorn. For Take Order Sales, the Scout will receive payment from customers as he delivers the popcorn inNovember. Money from Take Order Sales is due by (Nov. 30).

What about checks?
Customers can pay by cash or check. Checks should be made payable to Pack 231. However, to make it easier when turning in your popcorn money, please write one check to Pack 231 for the cash you received.

Scouts can earn Scholarships

 

A Scout only needs to qualify once - then every popcorn dollar he sells thereafter 6% will be kept in an interest earning account until he graduates! Awesome stuff!
