We did it!  Over $10,000.00 in popcorn sales!!!

The actual total is $10,190.00.

Here are some stats on the sales:

Below you will see what each scout averaged in each den and also the total that each den sold.
Den      Average       Total Sold
Tigers   $439.83       $2639.00
Wolf      $240.50       $ 962.00
Bear      $391.57        $2741.00
Web I    $261.00       $ 261.00
Web II  $ 597.83       $3587.00

You will notice that even though the Bears sold more than the tigers, the tigers average per scout was higher.  The Webelos II are the winners of the Pizza Party, they had the highest average per scout in their den.  I will let the Webelos II know more about the party after our next committe meeting.

Our top 4 salesman were:
$2187.00 - Chris Webb
$1507.00 - Ethan Colbert
$1005.00 - Jacob Bergstedt
$757.00 - Trey Houmes

Chris, Ethan an Jacob will get to attend the Illini game which I
believe will be on Sunday Dec. 2nd at 2:00 pm.  I will let you know more about that as soon as I find out.  They also have a pizza party for the scouts before the game.

Chris and Ethan also each won a $50.00 gift certificate to Wal-Mart for selling at least $1500.00 worth.

Don’t forget to pick up your popcorn order on Sat. Nov. 10th between 11:00 am & 1:00 pm at the Methodist Church.

Our popcorn prize winners for the following weeks:

2nd Week - Christopher Webb ($485.00 in popcorn sales)

3rd Week - Luis Lugo ($505.00 in popcorn sales)

4th Week - Charlie Warner ($480.00 in popcorn sales)

Honorable mention goes to Jacob Bergstedt, he always turned in his sales amounts and did an awesome job overall but just came up short each week to be the top salesman.

Charlie Warner gets to throw the pie in the face of the cubmaster!

 After our first week of popcorn sales Ethan Colbert from the Tiger Den sold the most to win one of our weekly prizes.  Ethan sold $1095.00 worth of popcorn.  I asked Ethan’s mom what inspired them to go door to door.  She said the fact that only 20% of the population had been asked and that 7 out of 10 would buy popcorn.  Some did say no, but that didn’t stop Ethan from continuing.

Great Job Ethan!

Here are our other scouts who also did an excellent job in salesmanship and were in the running for the week:

$682.00 - Christopher Webb
$515.00 - Jacob Bergstedt
$330.00 - Trysten Shackelford
$241.00 - Devin Cartwright

So far for the first week the pack total sales are $3225.00!!

Even though the weather tried to scare us off we held to our mission and ended up with a really fun day at the Tropicanoe Cove Waterpark in Lafayette.  All the scouts that showed up (Trevor Hurt, Kameron Hoskins, Cade Vallero, Trey Houmes, Christopher Webb and Charlie Warner) were ready to make the trip rain or shine.  We had a lunch under one of the shelters and then proceeded to the waterpark where we pretty much had the place to ourselves.  

It was really nice to be able to go down the Banana Peel slide and not have to wait in line.  The water was cold at first, but even I got used to it pretty quick.  The rain stopped just in time for us and we even got a little sunshine during the day.

Looking forward to building the Cub Scout float on August 19th at the Hurt’s house!
