Show & Sell orders due Sunday


Orders must be submitted via Unit Portal on Trail's End website


Show & Sell Order for all units is due this Sunday, by the end of the day. Pickup at the warehouse will occur Oct. 8 and/or Oct. 9 depending on your district. Place a second Show & Sell Order or make this your unit's first order you can do so. If needed, how to place an order can be found on Page 18 of this year’s Popcorn Kernel Guidebook - downloadable PDF in "Resources" index on right. Be sure to select “Bonus Order” option.

Units participating in the product sort are permitted to take order home after the entire sort is completed. Reminder, there is a 10% return limit on product that can be returned by Oct. 18 to the Scout office. Oct. 18 is the deadline to place final orders for your unit’s Take Order sale. The final order will be delivered Nov. 5-6.

If you need to “Commit Your Unit” to sell, do so at www.trails-end.com/unit-registration.

Important Reminders

Have extra popcorn or need inventory?

Join the council popcorn Facebook page. There are many units looking for certain type products and a Unit-to-Unit Transfer can help both groups with inventory. See Page 19 of the Popcorn Kernel Guidebook for details. Not a member of this private Facebook group? Find us at “Black Swamp Area Council Popcorn.”

Door hangers available for free

There are door hangers available for free at the council office, allowing Scouts to go door-to-door selling and if no one answers, put the Scout code on the door hanger and leave it. Available in the Findlay and Lima Scout offices. For Chinquapin District, there’s a limited supply available also. You can print your own at home with the downloadable PDF templet on the council popcorn page.

Table banners available for units

Improve your popcorn sale visibility with a banner for use during Show & Sell. Limited supply available on a first come bases. They are 72-inches by 30-inches (6x2.5 feet). There is no charge for banners. If you are interested, please contact Kim Davis at Kimberly.Davis@Scouting.org.

Unbelievable Butter price higher online

Please note Unbelievable Butter Microwave has a higher price when purchasing online direct than what our council Scouts are selling it for in-person and through the take order portion of the sale. Here in Black Swamp Area Council for in-person sales and take order sales the cost is $20 per box. The online price at www.trails-end.com/store is set because there are council's across the country selling this item for $25.

Your unit can still sell via Online Direct or with Take Order forms, so be sure to
