Many thanks to William Herrmann for getting our popcorn order in and reserving several show-and-sell shifts for Troops 617 and 4617!

We sold nearly $2k of the $10k of popcorn and peanuts that we have in inventory in the first two weeks of popcorn sales. 

Sales tend to be stronger earlier in the season. We have show-and-sell shifts set up for the next two weekends currently. There are open shifts available!

If you haven't sold before, here's how it works:

IMPORTANT INFO  In accordance with YPT guidelines (we do not have an adult female leader available to camp this weekend),  this is now a DAYTIME activity (thank you to Ms. Sherman and Ms. Wood who volunteered to support the troop as leaders for the day on Saturday).

Good afternoon, Scouts, Scouters and families,

Welcome back!  I hope everyone has had a wonderful and exciting summer.  I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again on Monday night to hear about everyone's summer! 

Popcorn season is right around the corner, with initial orders already due from Troops.  At this time, we do not have a volunteer for the position of “Popcorn Colonel”.  As you might imagine, the popcorn fundraising effort in Troops 617 and 4617 takes a lot of coordination, with show-and-sell events taking place on multiple weekends.  Our Scouts have successfully used this fundraiser to earn thousands of dollars towards annual dues, campouts, and even summer camps and high adventures.  However, it is only successful due to the hard work of a parent volunteer who coordinates these efforts.  We have been blessed to have such volunteers in past years, but at this time we do not have a volunteer for this year’s popcorn sale.  If we aren’t able to identify a volunteer, we will not be able to host the weekend show-and-sell events, and our Scouts will only be able to conduct direct sales on their own.  If you are willing to serve in this role, please contact William Herrmann.
