Scouts and Scout Parents,

This is a reminder that we will be continuing our trash bags sales this week.

We are selling the 13 Gal. tall kitchen bags in 30 qty or 50 qty amounts, and the 30 Gal. trash bags in 30 qty. The pricing is on the order form.

The funds from our trash bag sales go toward your scouting fee and supports the activities and resources for our troop.

Next Tuesday we will collect your payments for the trash bags. Please double check your order info. Order forms and sales scripts are available on the troop website.

We are also looking for volunteers to man a sales table outside of a local supermarket with a supply of trash bags.

Doing good for our neighbors, Troop 56, and the planet.

Yours in Scouting,

Edward Bartholomew (Eli’s Dad)

After Edward B’s awesome “how to sell” tutorial at our weekly meeting, he has kindly provided a sales script to practice with.

Scouts can print this out and practice with family or a fellow Scout before heading out to their neighborhood. Thanks to Ed for providing the resource!

Download the script here: Christmas Sales Script v1

We also would like to link to the Salesmanship Merit Badge which Scouts might like to take advantage of:

Dear All:

The Flyer has been revised to correct the date at the top (from 2016 to 2018), and I’ve edited the copy in a few places (Wilson Farms is no longer our tree vendor). They are available for download here.

If you have already started using the previous version, rest assured that the products, prices, and pick up address and dates were all correct on the original version.

YiS,
