Questions & Answers (questions from others, with an answer)

Q: If our unit selects the additional commission and not the Keller Prize Program, do our Scouts still receive a patch?

     A: All participating Scouts will receive a patch. PLUS, Scouts and their units are eligible for the Council & Pecatonica prizes highlighted in the blue section on the prize form.  Everything from patches/pins, each bonus level, Weekly Fill It Up, and top district and council seller’s levels.

Q: can we share last year’s product this year as promotion?

     A: Please do not, as the product is likely expired, and it is not our current vendor which is unanimously considered to be a better tasting product.

Q: I registered and cannot access my Pecatonica ScoutBoss account?

     A: We can confirm your unit’s username, and then reset the password, if needed.

Q: Does our unit have to sell from August to November to participate?

     A: No, your unit can select the time to participate. It could be for the Early Bird Sale for the first month; Take Order only; Online Sale online; you choose the amount of time to participate.

Q: We do not want to manage products, but participate in Take Order, can we do this?

     A: Your unit does not have to pre-order product. You can participate in Take Order and then deliver the product when it is available after the final delivery in November; or if there is enough inventory in stock locally to fill the order. Your unit can also participate in the Online Sale, where product is shipped directly to the customer.
