 Scouting Icons
These
assorted icon files can be utilized to replace the
icon shortcut on your desktop or utilize them on
your web site. Ever wonder how sites like ours get
the icon to appear when you save our site to your
favorites? Grab the icon you want to utilize,
rename it as favicon.ico and put that file in your
root directory (i.e. www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico).
Then when someone puts your site in their
favorites or creates a shortcut to your site on
their desktop, the standard icon will be replaced
with your special one. Contents is a .zip format
file and includes all the above icons.

Email
Masking
Are
you tired of getting SPAM emails to your email
account you have posted on your website. This
masking script works great to allow visitors to
still click and email you, yet keeps those
scrounging robots from grabbing your email address
to add to a list you don't want to be on. This
script is simple and Java based. Just change two
attributes to reflect your email address and paste
into any page.

2008 Popcorn
Tracker
Scout Popcorn Spreadsheet
Version 1.0 - (7/17/2008)
This
Microsoft Excel based Scout Popcorn Tracking spreadsheet was developed to help
Troops and Packs organize and track their popcorn
fundraising. By inputting the sales by product and
by scout it will give you a breakdown of
cases/containers needed at the distribution
center, cases/containers for each den, total
sales, total profit and a report of the top
sellers.
One of the biggest problems we've seen
with Scout Popcorn sales is
problems with the math at the various stages of
ordering and distribution, this sheet will take
the human element out of the arithmetic.
- Tracks sales for up to 120 Scouts
- Tracks traditional Take Order sales as well as support for Take-N-Sell sales and Show and Sell sales for each Scout
- Tracks up to 15 popcorn products your Council may offer.
- Customizable products, pricing and profit margin depending on your particular Council's program.
- This solution is not sanctioned or authorized by the
BSA or Trails End Popcorn, we just think it's very
handy.
- Requires Microsoft ExcelŽ - Version 97 or higher
- Download is compressed in .zip format, utilize
your favorite unzip utility to extract the file.
- Please note there are a couple of Macros in this
spreadsheet. These are there
 to make some
recalculations easier on the user. You must
allow these Macros to execute for the
spreadsheet to be fully functional. There is
nothing "evil" embedded in the spreadsheet . . .
Scouts Honor!
- This sheet is free to use as you see fit. Please report any issues with the sheet. We present this sheet "as is" and do not make custom modifications for your specific needs. You can choose to use it or not.
Get your unofficial
Popcorn Kernel (or is it Colonel) Badge of
Office Leaders Emblem. Get this Scout Leader emblem for your
unit's chief organizer of this important
fundraising event.

Buy Popcorn Online Button for Your Website (Update for 2008)
Trails End offers units the opportunity to sell popcorn online through their website www.orderpopcorn.com. This can be
a great way to get sales you wouldn't normally get through your typical channels. Unfortunately, they force the customer to input a code number in order for you to get credit for the sale.
We've simplified that by creating an All-In-One button and code that you can utilize with your unit's Order Key from the Popcorn Sales System at the Trails End site to make ordering online easy
for your site visitors. Edit the code with your unit's Order Key code and place it on your site and you'll get the proceeds from any online orders. Point distant friends and families to your website for
additional incrimental sales. Test out the buttom by clicking on it.
