			<h3>FAQ</h3>		
		<p>If you have a popcorn related question, send it to <a href="http://www.vac-bsa.org/ViewMyPage.aspx?t=e15KIN%2fzudn%2fuWMn%2bhEV%2bUQOBG%2fCUQFucHQBFinm%2fcQ%3d">Brad Olson</a>. Answers to frequently asked questions will be posted here.</p><h4><strong>When can Unit Popcorn Kernels place the initial order?</strong></h4><p>Kernels will receive an email notification about when orders can be placed online by August 1st.</p><h4>What do we do with tip money we are given?</h4><p>Money given as a tip for show and sell or wagon sales at the unit level should go towards the military donations for your unit. </p><h4>Can we get Show and Sell Popcorn in August?</h4><p>We have had a lot of feedback from units last year asking if we can get popcorn in August to be able to sell at big community events. We will have popcorn by August 1st this year that you can check out for any special community events as a pilot program this year. Contact <a href="http://www.vac-bsa.org/ViewMyPage.aspx?t=e15KIN%2fzudn%2fuWMn%2bhEV%2bUQOBG%2fCUQFucHQBFinm%2fcQ%3d">Brad Olson</a> to check this popcorn out. </p><h4>When/how do Scouts get take order forms?</h4><p>Registered Scouts in units will receive an order form by mail the first part of August. </p><p>Units will receive extra order forms (if they have signed up to participate) at the Popcorn Kick-off in their district during the August Roundtable.</p><h4>What financial information (bank accounts, etc.) do units need to give the council to be able to use the Trail's End app and accept credit cards?</h4><p>None. When a Scout uses the Trail's End app to accept a credit card payment, the funds go to Trail's End. When they receive the payment, they will credit the unit popcorn invoice for the appropriate amount - reducing the total amount that the unit needs to pay the council. The money from credit card sales will be going to Trail's End, not the unit bank account.</p><h4>How do we set-up a Store Front Sale?</h4><p>Each unit is responsible for setting up locations in their communities for selling show and sell popcorn at a local business or special event. If you are in a community with multiple units, please work with those units to share locations so everyone has an opportunity to sell. If you need assistance contacting other units, please visit with your District Executive. </p>
