We are trying to make returns as easy as possible so we will take them when it is convenient for you at either Scout office during normal business hours

Early Payment is due by November 9, 2019

If you pay early you will receive an extra 2% in commission. This will already be reflected in the system. The 2% will be removed and you will have a higher balance due after November 10, 2019.

Final payment is due by December 2, 2019.

*** This year there is no opting out of prizes. We are using the Trail's End prize system which are Amazon gift cards managed by Trail's End. ***

_______________________________________________________________________________

NEW THIS YEAR: There are 2 different commission structures depending on your past sales history. Also, online sales are a flat 35% commission this year but online sales DO count towards prizes and there is always FREE shipping on all online orders.

Standard Commission	(FOR NON-TOP SELLERS)
Base Commission	30%
Attend a Kickoff	1%
Sell 15% More than the Previous Year	2%
Sell 30% More than the Previous Year	2%
Early Payment	2%
Total Possible Commission	37%

For units that sell a lot of popcorn each year, it is more difficult to sell 15% or 30% more than the previous year. We have decided to form a "Top Sellers Club" to thank our continual top sellers.

Modified Commission	(TOP SELLERS CLUB)
Sell $10,000	34%
Sell $20,000	36%
Sell $30,000	38%
Sell over $45,000	40%

Wawa Show and Sells (10:00am to 2:00pm)

October 12 and 13, 2019

Always check with your local Wawa store manager to confirm the time you can sell and where he/she would like you to set up. Each unit will receive a GSCBSA Wawa confirmation letter and a certificate of insurance that they must take with them to their assigned Wawa location(s). Each District Executive will work with their units to assign Wawa locations. Wawa does not consult us on their construction plans so please verify that the location you are assigned is not under construction. Also, if you are assigned a Wawa, you must attend and we expect you to be at the assigned location until 2:00pm.
