2007 Ideal Year of Scouting

Saturday, August 1, 2009, 11:00 am - Logan's Roadhouse in TigerTown, 2400 Gateway Drive, Opelika

This will be a session in which participants learn to develop a unit budget for the year by planning activities, determining costs, then deciding on financing through dues and/or popcorn sales. It is a required session for those who did not attend in May if the unit wishes to earn the maximum commission from popcorn sales, along with attending the popcorn kickoff.

Popcorn Sales is a huge funding opportunity for most Units. This program will emphasize the benefits of popcorn sales to your unit as well as other ideas to give your unit great experiences in the upcoming year.

Scouts can earn enough to pay for Summer Camp. Units can earn enough to pay for activities and awards for the year.
