Sales credit for your Scouts
If you have Scout Order Forms
give your Scouts credit for Sales by
entering their orders online.
If you see Allocation Boxes
(instead of order form links) enter the
total dollar amount of Scouts’ retail sales.
www.Orderpopcorn.com
sales only count toward prize goals if
your Council is able and allows them to
be added to sales totals.
Entries on Order forms and in Allocation Boxes give Scouts
credit toward goals and prizes! Using Allocation boxes or
Orderforms is a selection made by your Council
If you are using Scout Order Forms
1.
Approve all filled order lines on
all of your Scout order forms.
Any unapproved lines that are
filled with order selections will
prevent submission of your Unit
popcorn Order.
2.
Total lines from Scout
orderforms may be entered on
the order form lines, to save
time and effort. You do not
have to enter every customer’s
order detail to give Scouts
credit.

Make sure you save your
changes!

Approved Scout orders
automatically begin adding to
your Unit order page as total
