Popcorn & Jerky Presentation

5/2/19 1 Why Sell Popcorn & Jerky? Why Plan? What’s the big Deal?

• Make affordable for every family • Retain Current Scouts and Attract new ones • Send more Scouts to camp & Offer better activities and programs. • Recruit and retain more leaders • Deliver the Promise… A better, more fun and exciting annual program The Reality…..

• Some Units either do NOT plan their program, or give a haphazard effort trying to do so • Some Units rarely involve their Scouts and Parents in the program planning process • Some Units have a budget or set goals for their Popcorn & Jerky fundraiser.

• It’s difficult to offer an exciting program without adequate funds. Therefore, these units struggle to recruit & retain members. Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail Ideal Year of Scouting Timeline
