mrkstvns Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 A Virginia Scout sold $88,000 worth of popcorn last year, making him the #1 popcorn salesman in BSA. Over the last few years, he's racked up over $200,000 in sales. This year, he's helping other scouts learn how to sell more.

Jackdaws Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I was hoping to see a couple tips in the article. I am sure living in a rich area and having peers' parents who can afford the $21,820-$26,630 tuition for the school he goes to doesn't hurt him at all... Now you show me a kid who lives in downtown Detroit and sells this much popcorn I will be very impressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackdaws Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Sorry didn't mean to be a negative nelly. Just popcorn is a hard sell depending on what side of town you live on here. I happen to live in one of the poorer sides of town so its never been a hit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenreddew Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 These massive amounts kill me honestly. There has got to be something else behind who is truly purchasing it. My son did just under $5k last year and is on schedule for this year to hit it. To say my saturdays are full of popcorn is a understatement. He even decided to NOT do door to door in hopes another scout would do it and see just how easy it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
