Also, the $25 campout fee for the September 18-20 campout will be due on September 8th. Thanks to Mrs. Gina Eddleman for organizing the refreshments, and leading the Greenery sale. Popcorn sale pre-orders for Show & Deliver are also due on September 8th to Mr. Ross Earl (this is optional - see more details below).

Popcorn Sale

Our Boy Scout Popcorn Sale is underway, led by Mr. Ross Earl. Proceeds from the popcorn sale benefit the Chickasaw Council and our Troop. 60% of the profits for the Troop for the popcorn sold by a Scout will be allocated to his Scout Bucks account to help pay for campouts. We are not doing a “Show & Sell” this year in front of Lowe’s or Kroger, but we are offering a “Show & Deliver” option, as well as the usual “Take Order” sale. For the “Show & Deliver”, you can pre-order popcorn to sell directly, rather than just taking orders for popcorn to be delivered in November from the “Take Order” sale. If you would like to pre-order for “Show & Deliver”, please turn in your pre-order to Mr. Ross Earl no later than Tuesday, September 8th. The pre-order items should come in around Sept 22^nd. These are the only items available for pre-order:

$20 Caramel Corn with Nuts - Closable Bag

$20 Unbelievable Butter Microwave

$20 Butter Light Microwave

$15 Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese

$15 White Cheddar Cheese

$10 Caramel Corn

Here are the due dates for the Popcorn sale:

Sept 8 – Show & Deliver pre-orders due

Sept 22 (approximate) – Show & Deliver products delivered to sell

Oct 27 – Take Order forms due, and Show & Deliver sales money and unsold product due

Nov 17 (approximate) – Take Order products delivered

Dec 1 – All Take Order money and Prize Selection due

 

If you haven’t received your Take Order form, please see Mr. Ross Earl, or you can print out a form online athttp://www.chickasaw.org/assets/1401/2015_chickasawpopcornorderform.pdf
