Be Prepared!

There are a few things you need to bring when you go out selling.  You need your order sheet that has the popcorn items and has enough slots open for sales.  Make sure that it looks clean.  Get another sheet from your Pack or Troop if you need it.  Bring a couple of pens in case you lose one or it stops working.  You need some change so you can make change for customers who need you to.  You should have the change in an envelope that is clearly marked for scout sales. If you are going to take credit cards, you have to bring a device that can read credit cards. We use an Android with a Square, but you can also use an iPhone or iPad and PayPal has a reader, too.

It is good to bring a beverage to refresh you if you need a refreshment.  You can get hot and really thirsty walking around, especially in August and September. 

And always bring your Mom or Dad or another scout.

Good luck selling!
