2018 Popcorn Sale 

It’s pretty easy to place a Show N Sell order.  Once you log into the Popcorn System you’ll see a row of categories in the middle of the page.  You would click “Popcorn Orders”.  Click New Order and select the correct order date “September Order” and then you will be able to order the amount of cases you would like of each item.  You then click the submit button.  It seems that the popcorn system works better if you are running it on Firefox or Chrome web browsers.

If you have any questions on logging into the popcorn system, placing your Show N Sell order, or the sale in general, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Remember, popcorn materials and resources are available on the council website at http://www.bsaonsc.org/popcorn.html.
