“I’m a Cub Scout with Pack 61 in East Hartford.”

“We’re working very hard to try and help raise money for our scouting activities this year.”

d. What they can do to help you?
“You can help us by buying some of our delicious popcorn!”

“You’ll help us, won’t you?”

4. Be polite and always say “Thank you”.

5. Always walk on the sidewalk and/or driveway.

6. Keep your Take Order forms each year for repeat customers.

I think it's going to be an exciting year ahead.
