REWARDING EFFORT AND EARNING COMMISSIONS • Councils establish Unit Commission levels to meet budgetary goals for all involved. Units collect the money from sales directly and typically pay the Council for product as invoiced through them. PRIZES In the recent past other Council Prize Programs start at $300 in sales, and we understand that is now rising to $500. Your Council will support a more traditional approach to promote higher sales and reward your Scouts. • 57% of selling Scouts sell less than $350. • 57% more Scouts earning a reward for equal participation effort within their Units equals more happy satisfied Scouts. • CAMPMASTERS High Achievers Program compliments the Council Prize Program as it is on top of the Council Program – and provided at no cost to your Council! KEY: Making sure we are rewarding the effort of more Scouts, not just the highest selling Scouts, to motivate continued participation in the popcorn program.
