When can I begin selling?

What is my unit’s commission from sales?
Units will keep 35% commission for each product sold.
My Scout wants to sell, but no one else in our unit does – what do I do?
The sale is ultimately a fundraiser for the unit. With your unit’s permission, you can gather and distribute order forms as the contact person for the unit. Be sure to tell the rest of your unit about the sale and maybe some more Scouts will join the effort.
Do I have to pay for the products upfront?
No. Final payment for all products sold are due at pick-up. Units will keep the commission earned when making their final payment. It is recommended to collect payments from customers when the order is placed.
If paying by check, who do I write it out to?
Please make checks payable to Mountaineer Area Council, BSA. It is recommended that units write one check to the Council when submitting their payment.
When can I expect to pick up the products?
Product pick-up is expected to be the week of March 18th. If those dates change, your unit contact will be informed immediately.
