POPCORN SALES HELP MEET
MANY SCOUTING OBJECTIVES. More and more Scouting Units utilize popcorn sales to raise funds for
equipment, activities and other needs.
BOYS
CAN EARN MUCH MORE THAN MONEY.
Few
activities demonstrate to Scouts the value of planning, organization, and commitment more clearly than a Unit's combined efforts
in a popcorn sale.
Scouts develop and practice new skills, learn about sales and marketing, and reach new levels of
personal success. And, once again, Scouts who participate in the sale may accomplish
requirements for Achievements, Activity Badges, and Merit Badges. Because many of the activities involved in popcorn sales
are similar to requirements for Scouting accomplishments.
|
|
Consider
the following popcorn activities as counting toward Boy Scout Merit Badges... before proceeding with your work, make sure
your Merit Badge Counselor has approved your idea.
