Pack 73 New Race Track fundraiser:

1.  The goal:  The volunteer parent leadership committee agreed that the Pack needed a new alluminum pinewood derby race track to replace the 32-year-old track and electronic equipment that is nearing the end of its useful life.  Many of the area Packs have been using upgraded equipment for quite some time.  The goal for the entire Pack 73 is to sell $3500 worth of popcorn in one month.  Of that $3500, 45%  (or $1,575) will be returned to the pack, which provides enough monies to purchase the track.  Another 25% goes to the Northern Star Council for area scouting activities.


2.  Dates: 
Start selling 2/22/10.    Sale ends 3/24/10.   
Simply take their order and write it on the form, collect the funds, and get the popcorn from your den leader and deliver the popcorn to the buyer.  The Pack has already pre-ordered a supply of approximately $4200 worth of popcorn product, which arrives 2/27/10.  Once that inventory runs out,  the scout will then need to deliver popcorn on 4/23/10.  The Pack needs to return any unsold excess popcorn by 3/27/10.


3. Minimum sales per scout: $50


4.  Payment: Have the buyers make checks payable to: PACK 73



5.  Sales Brochure and Order Forms: 
Order form can be downloaded here.
The sales brochure and order forms are available from your den leader.  Note that there is an option to simply donate popcorn to the troops serving our country overseas.  The Twin Cities scouts have shipped over 20 tons of popcorn to the troops and it is really appreciated.

6.  Prizes: The brochure also shows the categories for prizes available.  A scout needs to sell a minimum of $125 worth of popcorn to reach the first sales award level.

7.   Remember:  People like popcorn and it is easy to sell.  Good luck and have fun.
