Good News from our Green Mountain Council Popcorn Kernel, Dan Manz ...
I am excited to report the 2020 popcorn sale is happening! As you can imagine, there have been a few changes with this year’s campaign, including a new popcorn supplier, Camp Masters. With that said, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn this can be the best sale your unit has ever had.
After working a career in public health, my first priority was making certain this year’s sale can be done safely. We have several new sales models that put safety first. These include:
Our popcorn team is committed to helping your unit achieve a couple of goals. We all want the best parts of scouting in Vermont to continue and grow. Yes, things may be a little different but perhaps some of the program will be even better. We also want your unit to be able to financially support the activities your unit values and delivers. Now more than ever, the 2020 popcorn sale is a part of both these concepts.
Now is the time to begin getting organized for this year’s sale. Click on the attached links to sign up your unit for the Show 'n Sell and the Fall Take-Order Sale. When you sign up online be sure to register to participate in one of the four Zoom training sessions. As much as Laurie and I have enjoyed meeting everyone in person for the past several years, we just couldn’t see bringing large groups together indoors with she and I being potential vectors to spread COVID. If you can’t make your District’s specific date, feel free to attend the training on any other convenient date.
Our commitment has always been to help you conduct the most successful sale possible for your unit. This year, more than ever, we are doubling down on that promise and will be there to help you.

- Have your Scouts sell over the phone to customers on last year’s take-order forms.
- Do a carefully engineered Show 'n Sell.
- Do a new form of door-to-door take-order sales. Use door hangers with order forms and other techniques to minimize face-to-face contacts.
- Expand your online sales and accept credit cards for payment.
