Two Ways to Sell!
Show-n-Sell kicks off first with sales of product onhand then the traditional Take Order Sale completes the opportunity.

It's easy!
Popcorn is the fastest growing snack food; it's nonperishable and child transporoundtable. Sales material is designed for Scout use.

It's profitable!
250 Capitol Area Council units earned more than $405,000 in unit commissions in 2005.

Comanche District Popcorn Chairman: Herb Keirstead
