IMPORTANT DATES
NOVEMBER 2, 2015-------- LAST DAY TO ORDER POPCORN
NOVEMBER 14, 2015------- ALL MONIES DUE
Why Popcorn Sales?
Pack 499 operates off of popcorn sale revenue! We do our best and work hard to not have to ask our parents for money throughout the year! This is you and your son's opportunity to work together to cover the cost of dues, all patches, belt-loops, pins and other award costs as well as events. All these things cost money and this is an opportunity for you to not have to pay it out of pocket, see the incentive page for more information on how you and your son can work together to cover your son's dues and other events through the sale! I'm sure you can think of other organizations in which you have to pay out continually for things. We pride ourselves as a pack in not having to make such requests and hope to continue to do the same this year, and then some. We increased our goal this year with the hopes to not only offer more incentives for the boys and prizes but also to try to have more pack paid for events, and learning opportunities for the boys! Every year the pack committee with the Cubmaster hold a budget committee and do all the activity planning around this one fundraiser, let's make it awesome this year so the boys can do more than ever!!
Why Show and Sells?
Show and Sells are opportunities for boys who don't have a lot of friends or family in the area or who just want to sell more popcorn. We have arrangements with businesses to set up a station out front, and sell popcorn during specified dates and times. Popcorn sold during these times is split box for box, can for can between all the boys who attend that day. This is a huge way for boys to hit their goals, learn the art of sales, public speaking, and using their manners as well as using their code of conduct. The show and sell helps them reach their goal and helps the pack as a whole reach it's goal for the year. Please be sure to read the rules and responsibilities on the Show and Sell Schedule Page of the site.
Changes This Year!
Dues levels, prizes, etc. Popcorn kickoff went over all of this but you can find it on the site.
