Approach your extended family, friends, neighbours, co-workers, customers, clients, suppliers, or anyone else you know who could make a donation to your son's Scouting program and receive some awesome popcorn products in return, to consume or give away. 

4SW Scouting Group rewards the top youth sellers ($300 and more for BEAVERS, $600 and more for CUBS/SCOUTS/VENTURERS) with a special organized activity in the Spring, in addition to the other sales incentives each week of the fund raising campaign.
