Our six-year old recently became a Tiger Cub. One of his first scouting tasks is to
sell popcorn, to help raise funds for his Cub Pack's activities. I placed the following marketing copy with the sign-up sheet that I took to my office. I share it here with the hope that it may result in some
online popcorn sales for the little guy. A tin (or three) of popcorn makes a great holiday gift!
A Cruel Fate Awaits Cub Scouts Who Don’t Sell Enough Popcorn
It’s called “butterflying.” A Cub is stripped of his uniform, and forced to wear butterfly wings. See how they made an example of my little brother? And he’s not even old enough to be a Cub Scout!
Help me avoid this humiliation by buying some tasty popcorn. Proceeds will support my Pack’s activities, such as camping trips and our Thanksgiving food drive. You can also purchase popcorn for the troops serving our nation.
If you’d like to help, please print your name, contact info, and order on the accompanying form. You can give the money for your purchase to my dad – checks may be made payable to Pack 301. Please support Scouting, support our troops, and save me from a cocoon of shame.
Thank you,
M. Scheeler
