Pack or Troop Number
Valid e-mail address
On this page, you will set up your own Username and password. You will be given a 10 digit “Key Code”. Click “submit”.
Step 4: After you “submit”, the system will take you to the “Unit Admin” pages that shows:
Reports

Edit Profile
Step 5: From here, you will select “Users” to start setting up your Scouts.
On this page, you will enter Scout information: first name, last name, Username, password is “hello” and e-mail. After you enter the information click “Add” and the Scout will be added to your User List.

Step 9: Customers will pay for product online with their credit card, and their order will be shipped directly to their home.
Step 10: You will receive credit for your sales from your Council based on the online sales commission structure.
Step 11: The Unit Leader will combine the online sales with traditional popcorn sales to calculate “Prizes”.
70% of all product sales will benefit scouting
Site access will be available through www.popcornordering.com or www.campmasters.org
The majority of the sales will still be generated through the traditional method of selling. However, we are pleased to bring a new and exciting way for you to expand those sales to fund your scouting adventures and community service projects!
