2020 Expo Sales Paused

Greetings…
The present situation will put all expo sales efforts on hold. Scouts are not be selling them at Food City (even if you were signed up) or any of the other partner vendors or in the public in general at this time going forward until normal Scouting operations restart.
What I know as of 3-17-2020

  • There will be an opportunity to sell cards in an organized fashion in the future.
  • There is a large order of cards that will come in this week. 
  • There is NO system to set up getting those cards to you (the end seller) until normal Scout operations restarts.
  • If you did not get cards and want them let me know exactly how many (ASAP)
  • If you have a need to more cards let me know exactly how many (ASAP)
  • If you have other questions about Expo let me know.

Yours in Scouting

Expo Card Sales are ON – But Out of Stock!

Please do not direct swap Expo Cards with other scouters

Contact Tom Gould if you think you have taken too many

The District and Council are officially out of Expo Scout Cards – Please sell what you have, get as many scouts as you can in the weekly prize drawing for this Friday. The weekly prize drawing is the only indicator the council has of how well the sell is going and will drive the decision on placing an additional order or not as well as the size of the order. You will have to settle up partially in order to check out more cards(sorry this detail was not worked out ahead of time, no one imagined the cards would go this fast). So if you want to check out 100 more cards, then you will have to settle up for 100 of the cards you have checked out previously. Settling up works out to be $3.65 a card(73% because as a unit you keep 27% of the sales and 40% will be issued as Scoutbucks). The council has to be thrifty just like your unit and Scouts do.

  • The above is presently the official position the council is in.
  • So if you are interested in more cards or for many of you any cards please send me that number clearly.
  • If you are having second thoughts about how many you signed out tonight and wish to make an adjustment let me know…please do not direct swap with other scouters.

One difference of note is that the card retains a hard dollar value and must be accounted for to the last card. For that reason parents must check out the cards.  There will be a receipt book to document the exchange.
