Popcorn 2008 Spring Product Sale Get ON THE TRAIl for MONEY FOR CAMP Or T-Shirts or meals or fun or... Gulf Ridge Council announces a brand new spring product sale featuring a top-quality product packaged uniquely for Scouting: "On The Trail Mix." The classic version of "On The Trail" is a delicious mixture of peanuts, almonds and cashews plus dried cranberries, raisins and M&M's. There is also a "power" version that includes peanut butter chips! "On The Trail" is packaged in 9oz poly wrap with 8 packs of each variety in a 16 pack box. Each pack sells for $10.00 (total value of a box = $160.00). The quality of the product and the attractive price make it a great item for either door to door or "show and sell" approaches. And, for variety, we'll also include the 11oz Caramel Popcorn with Peanuts (the same product we had in the Fall 2007 popcorn sale) in the spring mix. That gives a the consumer a choice of 3 items, all at $10.00 each. Click here to view a Sample Spring Order Form. In the spring, units can earn a 45% cash commission or they can choose 40% cash + 10% "Scout Bucks" for a net 50% commission. "Scout Bucks" can be used for any council or district activity (camp fees, training events, dinners) or at any of our camp trading posts. If you are interested in participating in the Spring Product Sale or just have questions, send an email to OnTheTrail@boyscouting.com and more details and sales material will be sent to you.
