At our troop meeting on Thursday, popcorn order forms will be distributed to our scouts. All scouts are encouraged to sell popcorn. All of the popcorn profit (30% of the sales price) is allocated to the scout in the form of a credit that can be used for scouting activities, such as summer camp.

This year, our Troop will also participate in a Show and Sell at the Riverside Farmer’s Market on the following two Wednesdays. Twelve scouts can participate. Scouts can sign up on a first-come, first-served basis. (Parents are welcome to assist with their scout.) Shifts are as follows:

September 12 – after school to 5:30 – 3 Scouts, 1-2 Adults
September 12 – 5:30 to 7:30 – 3 Scouts, 1-2 Adults

September 19 – after school to 5:30 – 3 Scouts, 1-2 Adults
September 19 – 5:30 to 7:30 – 3 Scouts, 1-2 Adults

Sign up for a shift here:
Scouts Sign-up
Adults Sign-up

Scouts are to wear their Class A uniforms (shirt, neckerchief, slide, and hat). Questions can be directed to our Popcorn Kernel, Anne K at amkodama@sbcglobal.net.

Your scout can earn the entire cost of summer camp, and more, through his efforts at selling popcorn!

Thirty of our scouts paid for all or a portion of their Camp Tesomas fee with money they earned selling popcorn. Congratulations to all of them! Five scouts still have credit remaining, to use for the bus to Camp Tesomas, or for future events:

Max B – $210.70
Ryan K – $41.77
Jeff R – $27.00
Joe R – $45.00
Jimmy S – $162.70

Our Popcorn Kernel, Mrs. Kodama, reports that 33 scouts sold a total of $13,027.65 worth of popcorn. The profit from the popcorn sales is available as a credit to each of those scouts to be used for summer camp or other troop outings. Because the scouts are listed by full name, this information is available in the password-protected directory on the website. (Contact Nancy Hopkins if you need the username & password.) Our top sellers this year (in order of sales) were: Max B ($1,669.00), Jimmy S ($1,509.00), Ryan K ($1,105.90), Elijah O ($949.00), Glen Q ($726.00), Andy C ($710.85).

Thank you very much to Anne Kodama for coordinating our popcorn sales!

Popcorn orders must be picked up this Saturday, November 19, between Noon and 2:00 pm at Scoutmaster Ringbloom’s garage – 148 Gage Road, Riverside, according to the following schedule:

Noon – 12:30 pm – Last names A-F

All popcorn orders are due to our Popcorn Kernel by Thursday, October 27. Scout can bring the orders to the meeting, or orders can be dropped off at Anne Kodama’s home. Please contact Anne at amkodama@sbcglobal.net to get directions to her house. Orders must be accompanied by full payment (in other words, if your scout took any orders without getting payment, you will need to pay for the popcorn and get paid when it’s delivered). Anne would prefer to receive checks only, so please keep any cash collected and write a check instead, made out to Troop 24

Scouts who are done selling popcorn can turn in their orders at the Troop meeting on Thursday, October 20. ALL orders are due by Thursday, October 27. Parents: please check the totals and be sure the money turned in equals the amount ordered. Our Popcorn Kernel would appreciate receiving checks rather than cash, so if your scout collected cash, can you please keep the cash and write a check to the Troop for that amount? All popcorn orders have to be paid in advance (so the scouts should not have sold with an I.O.U.). If you have any questions, please contact Anne Kodama.
