Your unit's popcorn Kernel should have received a login and password sheet from the Council Office. If you are the unit's popcorn Kernel and have not received this information, please contact our office at 856-327-1700. Since users are removed each year, for security reasons, you need to make sure you sign your unit up for this year's sale. Online Sales Selling online is a great way for your unit and your Scouts to sell to an untapped market; friends and family that the Scout cannot personally contact for a sale. Don't miss this great opportunity to earn even more money for your unit. - During the fall sale, all online sales for a Scout will count toward his Scout Rewards prize.
-
Scouts selling online will also be eligible for additional prizes offered by Trail's End. Once a Scout creates his online sale account he will receive periodic e-mails from Trail's End detailing the additional prizes. -
Unit leaders can track their unit's online sales, by Scout. -
Online selling is easy. Scouts have access to e-mail templates, Facebook invites, etc. Imagine how much more money your unit can earn if each Scout had 5-10 online sales! - The unit's commission for all year round sales is a flat 30%. During the fall sale season the commission rate is the same as the commission your unit earns for the fall sale. (Base 32%, possible 3% bonus) Commissions for online sales are credited to the unit's Unit Account at the council on a quarterly basis.
