GETTING YOUR POPCORN
Orders may be picked up at the warehouses listed below. Orders should be pre-sorted at pickup depending on warehouse space and volunteers available. Be prepared to count and load your order as volunteers on-site are limited. Those picking up the popcorn will sign a packing slip and take ownership of the product on unit’s behalf.
- Arrowwood District (Hancock/Seneca Counties): Ohio Logistics, 6000 Fostoria Ave., Findlay OH 45840 (aka State Route 12).
- Chinquapin District (Fulton/Henry/Defiance/Paulding/Williams Counties): Keller Warehousing & Distribution, 24862 Elliott Road, Defiance OH 43512
- Great Oaks & Old Sycamore Districts (Allen/Auglaize/Hardin/Mercer/Putnam/Van Wert Counties): Lane’s Records & Storage, 245 E. Murphy St., Lima OH 45801
- Please note “Additional Pickups” will only occur at the Scout Service Center in Findlay. Limited popcorn will be transferred to Camp Lakota in Defiance & Lima Service Center, as needed.
SHOW & SELL ORDER
- Units should use caution when placing their Show & Sell order and know they can always place an additional order themselves via online direct and have it delivered to the unit kernel’s residence or other in the unit to help restock the unit inventory. Please consider an order of only 50% of your normal sale. With online order and shipping, a unit kernel can order and ship directly to themselves for inventory restocking.
- For new units interested in Show & Sell, consider the following items: 1 case of caramel corn, 1 case of popping corn and 1 case of white cheddar popcorn. Out of the line-up this year, these tend to be the most popular. Contact Kim Davis at the council office, she can work to help new units with this process.
PRODUCT RETURNS
- Black Swamp Area Council will only accept up to 10 percent of a unit’s popcorn as a return this year. Only full cases of same product in case will be accepted on Oct. 16 or Oct. 17, at designated locations to be determined, or prior at the Findlay Scout Office during business hours. To schedule a product return time at the Findlay Scout Office, contact Kim Davis at (419) 422-4356, ext. 116.
UNIT-TO-UNIT TRANSFERS: Units can also use the unit-to-unit transfer option – please see Page 19 of the Kernel Guidebook for details. Join the Black Swamp Area Council private Facebook group here, where you can communicate with other leaders on needs and extras you have for product.
