This picture of our white board shows why we are SO DONE selling popcorn this year and some other scout can have the rest of our shifts. We've calculated how much we've gotten credit for selling (note that does not say how much we've sold), what percent of the total needed to cover are dues the sales equal, and what the cash balance would be. We owe $50 if we quit now, or we can keep selling to make the balance. The important lesson the boys learned today was the associated costs of selling popcorn: gas driving to and from the site, the cost of buying lunch or snacks at the gun show, plus the time the parent wastes sitting there instead of getting important tasks accomplished at home.
