Important Information
Dear Scouters,
It is a real pleasure to welcome you and your Group to the 2014 Shining Waters Council Fall Popcorn Sale!
I want to personally thank you for your time and energy in promoting Scouts Canada’s #1 Fundraiser in your group. The Scout Popcorn sale plays an essential role in allowing your Group to generate the funds needed to provide an amazing program for your youth, as well as reduce the financial burden on families. Hats off to you for making a difference in the lives of the Scouts in your Group!
Last year, Shining Waters Council sold $416,905.00 worth of Scout Popcorn and one of our goals for the 2014 Scout Popcorn program is to increase the number of youth registered in the Trail’s End Scholarship program.
Once again, our annual Scout Popcorn program is popping with some great new products and the return of some old favorites! We are confident that everyone will be excited about this year’s product line up.
The Area Popcorn Coordinators and I are ready to assist you and your Group to have a very successful Scout Popcorn Sale. Please feel free to contact us with questions or assistance you may need. We want to help you grow your Popcorn Sales.
Yours in Scouting,
Dick Riewe SWC Popcorn Coordinator

2014 Pricing
Give a gift of Scout Popcorn, to the Canadian Forces Men and Women, their families and veteran’s organizations.
In 2011, Scouts Canada created the Canadian Forces Popcorn Program, which sent Scout Popcorn to Canadian Forces personnel across Canada. A full container was shipped to our Canadian base in Afghanistan. Each year, we have expanded the program. Now, Canadians have the chance to provide the gift of Scouts Popcorn to Canadian Forces bases, training facilities, Veteran's hospitals, and Canadian Forces family support centres.
Where did it all go in 2013?
Over 3,600 Canadian Forces Orders Over $80,000 returned to Scouting
$134k in sales went to: • 19th Wing Comox, BC • Edmonton, AB • Ottawa (2 bases) • Gander (9th Wing) • Lancaster Park (Nfld) • Shilo, MB • Cold Lake, AB • 8th Wing (Trenton, ON) • Kingston, ON

STEPS TO SUCCESS
Establish an annual Plan and Budget, with input from your Youth and Parents
Set a Group Popcorn Sale Goal – Ideal Year of Scouting, and break that goal down to a Per Youth Goal based on the plan and budget
Put together an exciting incentive program for your Group on top of the Council and Trail’s End prizes. Try the following ideas:
o Have a small prize for all youth who fill up a take order form o Have a pizza party of Section or Group reaches its goal
Conduct a FUN Group Popcorn Kickoff to communicate the program and per Youth popcorn sale goal to the Scouts and Families
Utilize various sales methods to make sure your Group and Youth hit their sales goals:
o Take Orders o Parents Selling at work
SELL POPCORN
Raise all the money your Group needs to fund its ENTIRE Program with the Scout Popcorn Sale, as the one and only fundraiser!
Scout Popcorn returns over 60% of the money raised to support your Group, Scout families and local Council
Proven Product Quality - 2 out of 3 people buy when asked, and are repeat customers
The Ideal Year of Scouting will help you achieve your Group’s dreams in Scouting and get more parents involved in the program
Teach the Youth, the life lesson of earning their own way!
Plan your program to succeed
• NEVER enter anyone's home • NEVER sell after dark unless you are with an adult • NEVER carry large amounts of cash with you • NEVER sell in front of stores or malls without
permission. A responsible adult must be present • NEVER sell at stop lights or street corners • NEVER go to dimly lit areas or places where you are
not clearly visible
• ALWAYS walk on the sidewalk and driveway • ALWAYS sell with another Scout or with an adult you
know • ALWAYS notify your parent or group leader of any
strange activity immediately • ALWAYS fundraise in areas you know • Make a list of friends, family, relatives, and neighbors
to contact instead of selling door-to-door
Safety Tips YOUR SAFETY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY FUNDRAISING
Motivate your Scouts and parents. Keep it fun! Keep it moving! Keep it short!
Show parents and Scouts the benefits of selling Scout Popcorn. Lay out the exciting Scouting program you have planned for the year. Tell families how they can eliminate out-of pocket expenses by reaching their
goal. Explain that Scouts will have fun while learning to earn their own way.
Kickoff Agenda (40 minutes) Grand Opening (5 minutes) – Have popcorn for everyone to eat, display samples Welcome parents and Scouts.

these videos to your computer ahead of time if your kickoff location does not have Internet connection.
