Popcorn Kernel Cup

Popcorn Kernel Cup Prizes

We went with the following awards for the winners / top sellers, grand total of which was $124.77.

Winning Team Members

For each person on the Popcorn Kernel Cup winning team (Team Kettle Corn currently) that actually sold popcorn (not just did family donation), they would get an actual popcorn kernel cup with their name on it.

7 cups + free shipping = $45.36

I had originally envisioned a trophy of some sort for this but it dawned on me that a single trophy for a team of popcorn sellers can well be shared and ultimately wouldn’t then motivate kids as much, so I came up with the above idea. I also couldn’t find something that was all that awesome and really captured the essence of a Popcorn Kernel Cup (I was envisioning a stanley cup style large trophy with the cup replaced by something popcorn).

Team Top Sellers

For the top seller on each of the 4 teams we would give an actual trophy.

4 trophies + shipping = $48.55

All Team + Den Top Sellers

For the top sellers of each team and/or den (lots of overlap there so doesn’t amount to all that many) we would give one of the following top popcorn seller patches:

10 patches + shipping = $30.86

NOTE: where only 8 scouts, but got a discount at 10 patches ordered.
